| Angels and Airwaves – All That We Are Lyrics | 2 years ago |

This song is about a single mother living on the streets overdosing from a drug injection. "The ice is really cold The street light's really old" <-- setting the scene "A child's all alone As she melts into her own And slowly fades away" <-- leaving behind her child as she passed away "Into a river full of shame But at least numb to the pain" <-- the shame of addiction and homelessness, but numbed by her las high as she overdoses "Can you see it? Can you feel the shadow wave From a needle to the grave From her hell to far away" <-- waves of the opioids as they move through her veins and brings about her death "You're my only You're so sad, my valentine On your journey to the light But first straight to the fire" <-- the tragedy of her lonely death, and an allusion to heaven and hell Such an incredible song, and a fitting end to the L☽∀E albums! Gives me chills every time. |
