I'll start by saying that this song is probably about crystal meth White lips, pale face Breathing in snowflakes Burnt lungs, sour taste he describes the visual affects of using crystal "ice" is a common term for crystal hence she breathing in snowflakes meth is smoked hence burnt lungs Lights gone, days end Struggling to pay rent Long nights, strange men shes broke cause she uses money on meth prostitutes for drug money And they say She's in the class A team Stuck in her daydream Been this way since eighteen But lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting Crumbling like pastries stuck in her day dream because she is always high effect of meth are becoming visual if youve ever had a puff pstry, youd know how that could resemble the face of a meth addict And they scream The worst things in life come free to us 'Cause we're just under the upper hand And go mad for a couple 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, for angels to fly worse things in life are bad choices the motherland is her high, the line simply means she gets high hence the use of the word "fly" again with prostitution references too cold outside referring to "ice" for angels (her) to fly (get high) 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 shes barely living And they say She's in the class A team Stuck in her daydream Been this way since eighteen But lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting Crumbling like pastries And they scream The worst things in life come free to us 'Cause we're just under the upper hand And go mad for a couple grams But she don't want to go outside, tonight And in a pipe she flies to the motherland Or sells love to another man Its too cold outside For 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 eighteen But lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting Crumbling like pastries They scream The worst things in life come free to us And we're under the upper hand And go mad for a couple grams And we don't want to go outside, tonight And in the pipe fly to the motherland Or sell love to another man It's too cold outside For angels to fly, angels to fly To fly, fly For angels to fly, to fly, to fly Angels to die i think what people miss is how often he references the drugs people think day dream and mother land meaning her aspirations and what not but they are metaphors for using meth |
