White lips, pale face, Breathing in snowflakes, Burnt lungs, sour taste. Light's gone, day's end, Struggling to pay rent, Long nights, strange men. And they say she's in the Class A Team, Stuck in her daydream, Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting, Crumbling like pastries, And they scream, The worst things in life come free to us, Cos we're just under the upperhand, And go mad for a couple of grams, And she don't want to go outside tonight, And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, Or sells love to another man, It's too cold outside, For angels to fly, Angels to fly, Ripped gloves, raincoat, Tried to swim and stay afloat, Dry house, wet clothes. Loose change, bank notes, Weary-eyed, dry throat, Call girl, no phone. And they say she's in the Class A Team, Stuck in her daydream, Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting, Crumbling like pastries, And they scream, The worst things in life come free to us, Cos we're just under the upperhand, And go mad for a couple of grams, And she don't want to go outside tonight, And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, Or sells love to another man, It's too cold outside, For angels to fly, Angels to fly, An angel will die. Covered in white, Closed eye, And hoping for a better life, This time, we'll fade out tonight, Straight down the line. And they say she's in the Class A Team, Stuck in her daydream, Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting, Crumbling like pastries, And they scream, The worst things in life come free to us, Cos we're just under the upperhand, And go mad for a couple of grams, And she don't want to go outside tonight, And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, Or sells love to another man, It's too cold outside, For angels to fly, Angels to fly, To fly, fly, Angels to fly, to fly, to fly, Angels to die.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la détresse d'une jeune femme aux prises avec une vie difficile, marquée par la pauvreté et la solitude. Elle se bat pour survivre dans un monde qui lui semble inhospitalier, cherchant échapper à sa réalité par des moyens peu recommandables. Ses rêves sont entravés, et elle lutte contre des démons intérieurs alors qu'elle se débat dans un quotidien morose. Dans ce contexte, la chanson aborde des thèmes profonds comme la vulnérabilité, la dépendance et la recherche désespérée d'évasion. La métaphore des anges, incapable de s'élever au-dessus des difficultés, souligne la fragilité de son état. C'est une réflexion poignante sur les épreuves de la vie et les choix douloureux que l'on doit faire face à des circonstances accablantes.
