To My Better Angel Lyrics
I lost all faith today in suicidal featherweights
With broken wrists and weaker fists
This is the last fight I'll give away
And there’s something terrible locked in her attic,
so I'm told
I can feel it on my face
I still feel you everywhere
And operator I can't hold much longer,
can't hold much longer, can't hold on
And operator I can't hold much longer,
can't hold much longer, can't hold on
'Cause there’s a spot by a bathroom door
where I dropped so fast straight through the floor
when I lost my grip on everything
Eight feet under water is where we dare
Our locked lips keep out the water and the liars
full of nothing but air
So if anybody talks of me
tell them I am never coming home again,
tell them I am gone
There's a place that I might fit in,
but it reeks of where we’ve been
Perfect footprints from our feet
that our haunted just by me
To the lady of the hour, liquor love is all the rage
Your skin feels way too sour and I've lost my sense of taste
And operator I can't hold much longer,
can't hold much longer, can't hold on
And operator I can't hold much longer,
can't hold much longer, can't hold on
There's a hole that we all fall in
where we fight for oxygen
That’s where I caught my grip and became King
Eight feet undercover, don’t forget that I'm here
Warm secrets under covers with new friends
and your holiday lovers
So if anybody talks of me
tell them I am never coming home again,
tell them I am gone
If anybody talks of me
tell them I am never coming home again,
tell them I am gone
So if anybody talks of me
tell them I'll be gone forever
without these scars that are completly invisble
With broken wrists and weaker fists
This is the last fight I'll give away
And there’s something terrible locked in her attic,
so I'm told
I can feel it on my face
I still feel you everywhere
can't hold much longer, can't hold on
And operator I can't hold much longer,
can't hold much longer, can't hold on
where I dropped so fast straight through the floor
when I lost my grip on everything
Eight feet under water is where we dare
Our locked lips keep out the water and the liars
full of nothing but air
tell them I am never coming home again,
tell them I am gone
but it reeks of where we’ve been
Perfect footprints from our feet
that our haunted just by me
To the lady of the hour, liquor love is all the rage
Your skin feels way too sour and I've lost my sense of taste
can't hold much longer, can't hold on
And operator I can't hold much longer,
can't hold much longer, can't hold on
where we fight for oxygen
That’s where I caught my grip and became King
Eight feet undercover, don’t forget that I'm here
Warm secrets under covers with new friends
and your holiday lovers
tell them I am never coming home again,
tell them I am gone
tell them I am never coming home again,
tell them I am gone
tell them I'll be gone forever
without these scars that are completly invisble

This has to be my favorite song on the cd... it seems as if he has been dumped and that all he knows is their love and without it, he doesnt know what to do anymore but to commit suicide..
I agree it has a little to do with suicide but theres more to it than that... i see it in three pieces... First, he loses everything and has thoughts of suicide... 'Cause there’s a spot by a bathroom door where I dropped so fast straight through the floor when I lost my grip on everything
Then he gets drunk and depressed and its all he can think about... retracing the relationship, where it went wrong."There's a place that I might fit in, but it reeks of where we’ve been Perfect footprints from our feet that our haunted just by me"
And then finally getting over it and relizing that it doesnt matter and there are plenty of other people out there... "That’s where I caught my grip and became King Eight feet undercover, don’t forget that I'm here Warm secrets under covers with new friends and your holiday lovers "
I think that this song means all of the above with a few additions. It's definitely about a failing and broken relationship, but I think it has to do with a failing relationship in which the girl is starting new relationships and slowly forgetting about the guy. I don't think it even neccessarily has to be a girlfriend (it probably is though). These are the lines that suggest this meaning:
"Eight feet undercover, don’t forget that I'm here Warm secrets under covers with new friends and your holiday lovers"
I don't know though. As it is with most Northstar songs, it's probably dealing with a lot of different things.
how come there aren't very many posts? Northstar is a particularly awesome band who really deserves cred..
I agree with guitar player in that the lines
"Eight feet undercover, don't forget that I'm here Warm secrets under covers with new friends and your holiday lovers"
means that the girl is moving on and he is afraid she will forget him.
this song is kinda about a relationship but it is actually about a close friend of the band who died and it was played by the band at the funeral but they don't play it live. This is actually a very personal song to them
This song is amazing!! first one that got me into Northstar.. Then the pornographers daugther followed of course..
Such a good band. Miss them =(
It's "Eight feet under covers, don't forget that I'm here Warm secrets undercover with new friends and your holiday lovers"
