| Misfits – Descending Angel Lyrics
| 11 years ago
|
Seems to me to be based off of the Book of Enoch, which was omitted from the Bible. The group of angels that were following Satan were cast down to the Earth to watch over it. The fallen angels were not supposed to interact with the humans. They ended up teaching humans about astrology, how to make weapons and medicine, among many other things, basically advancing the human race. The angels also ended up fornicating with the humans, producing the Nephilim. God was angry at the angels for this, and cast them into the abyss. Years later, the great flood was initiated to wipe off all of the offspring Nephilim.
Anyways, to the meaning of the song, I believe the narrarator is a human wanting to learn as much as possible from, and maybe wanting to reproduce with, the angels. |

Not sure about the "seeds planted" part, but it seems this song is about a gladiator trying to win enough battles to be released from slavery. |

Seems to be about a soldier who sits up in the posts, shooting down whoever runs from the army base (a thousand AWOL soldiers.) Just like in MIA this soldier questions the reasons why he's there. He realizes there's nothing he can do about it, he'll continue to shoot people who run, and the man (the govt/war/whole situation) is ripping at his soul. |
