Angel Lyrics
'm wishing the bath water clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see
I feel like a boy the age of 13
My body grows up
But my mind stays the same
Look me in the face
What do you see?
How do you tell an angel
That you don't believe in God?
Why do I feel
Like such a stranger
I look around
I look around
And all my friends are gone
But oh would you be me?
Because I would be you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
How do you tell your Father,
That you want him to notice you?
Why does this seem like such a bother?
When mom says you'd be better off dead
But I want to see you
I still want to see you
Oh would you call me?
Oh it's not hard too
I'm the first one
On your birthday
And oh would you write me
On my birthday
Graduation, was yesterday
Yesterday
Oh…
How do you hold the special victim?
When they push you away
When they've been
Raped on the inside
Torn on the outside
The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide
Touched in private places
Embarassed faces
To scared to ask for help
Oh would you be me?
Because I would be you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you
You'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
I'm wishing the bath water clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see?
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see
I feel like a boy the age of 13
My body grows up
But my mind stays the same
Look me in the face
What do you see?
That you don't believe in God?
Why do I feel
Like such a stranger
I look around
I look around
And all my friends are gone
Because I would be you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
That you want him to notice you?
Why does this seem like such a bother?
When mom says you'd be better off dead
But I want to see you
I still want to see you
Oh would you call me?
Oh it's not hard too
I'm the first one
On your birthday
And oh would you write me
On my birthday
Graduation, was yesterday
Yesterday
Oh…
When they push you away
When they've been
Raped on the inside
Torn on the outside
The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide
Touched in private places
Embarassed faces
To scared to ask for help
Because I would be you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you
You'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see?

everybody hides who they are. and you never tell anyone EVERYTHING.
I always thought this song was a combination of two...I'm a lil confused so maybe someone can help me...
I always thought this song was really about a girl getting raped and him sort of being the rapist but blaming his dad for being the way he is...
Can someone please put the true meaning of this together...
OK so I finally got it...I was reading the lyrics wrong. After hitting up a lil ganja, listening and doing some research I finally got it...

DISCLAIMER I have just obtained a copy of Justin Furstenfeld's book Crazy Making. It's not very detailed, but it contains all the lyrics to all current (The Answers - Approaching Normal) Blue October songs, and his inspiration behind them. As I said, it's not very detailed, but it's his words on every Blue October song that is in the book. I know everyone interprets a song differently from everyone else, but having the original intent behind the song will be helpful to people who don't fully understand a song. Also, any grammatical errors are not made by me, I'm putting down Justin's words exactly how he writes them. So yea... enjoy :)
Angel: "Religion, Divorce, Abuse. 3 sure ways to kill innocence"
^^^^^^^^ its true
This song is awesome. It is so true. "I feel like a boy of age 13, my body changes but my mind stays the same". That is so articulate and true. I think this song means that he feels like a stranger to the world, he's hiding from everything. I freaking LOVE this song!

In the part of the song where it goes..
How do you tell your Father, That you want him to notice you? Why does this seem like such a bother? When mom says you'd be better off dead But I want to see you I still want to see you
I always thought I heard "He'd be better off dead" Instead of "You'd be better off dead"..Anyone else here that?
Yeah, pretty sure it's "he'd be better off dead".
it definitely is "he'd" instead of "you'd"
I'm the first one On your birthday
