When Angels Fly Away Lyrics
I'll make a soldier's decsion to fly away
load my gun, paint my face, call me misery
i can see the sky light up and the ground explode
got my sights locked in, i can see you breathe
there i watched you fall and somebody scream
it's the saddest thing when angels fly away
i can't be home tonight
i'll make it back it's alright
no one could ever love me
half as good as you
got a badge for my scars just the other day
wore it proud for the sake of my sanity
i could see the flames burn bright from the winding road
like a haunting page from our history
watched a young girl cry and a mother scream
it's the saddest thing when angels fly away
i can't be home tonight
i'll make it back it's alright
no one could ever love me
half as good as you (half as good as you)
you can't be strong tonight
love makes you sad it's alright
no on could ever worry
half as good as you (half as good as you)
half as good as you
i can't be home tonight
i'll make it back it's alright
none one could ever love me
half as good as you
you can't be strong tonight
love makes you sad it's alright
no one could ever worry
half as good as you...
load my gun, paint my face, call me misery
i can see the sky light up and the ground explode
got my sights locked in, i can see you breathe
there i watched you fall and somebody scream
it's the saddest thing when angels fly away
i'll make it back it's alright
no one could ever love me
half as good as you
wore it proud for the sake of my sanity
i could see the flames burn bright from the winding road
like a haunting page from our history
watched a young girl cry and a mother scream
it's the saddest thing when angels fly away
i'll make it back it's alright
no one could ever love me
half as good as you (half as good as you)
you can't be strong tonight
love makes you sad it's alright
no on could ever worry
half as good as you (half as good as you)
i'll make it back it's alright
none one could ever love me
half as good as you
you can't be strong tonight
love makes you sad it's alright
no one could ever worry
half as good as you...

I'm really not into the whole internet arguing crap, but first of all Acruxian you're an ignorant jackass. The meaning of a song can be whatever a person wants it to be, how it affects them, and relates it to their life experiences. It's a personal thing. That's the point of this whole site, for people to open up and share what these songs mean to them. And this song isn't a military thing about the "war" in Iraq which really isn't a "war" it's a police action. We're just sending people over there to get blown up by roadside bombs. The U.S. military is a joke nowadays and Bush is a moron.
ANYWAYS, this song reminds me of a break up also. The war reference is about the person (male or female) viewing love as a battlefield and having so many regrets (badge for my scars) that they feel hopeless and that they should give up the fight and die emotionally, and never love again.
If anyone agrees with mine let me know, I'd love to hear your feedback : )
I know its a really late reply, but I actually agree with you? Cold has a way of putting things in a weird way, but if you find out the meaning if makes perfect sense? I think he is kind of on about love/war? I think it is to do with a war....BUT mostyly to do with a relationship. In my opinion its a very complicated song but I think he is in a war/fight? and seeing what happens to the people back home when someone dies? And "wore it proud for the sake of my sanity" I think he...

And "wore it proud for the sake of my sanity" I think he is trying to stay his normal self for when he goes back home? and he wants to leave before he turns mad? And he is scared she wont love him if he changes and lets the anger and war get to his head? He is torn between his duty to stay and his duty to be a good partner and put her mind to rest?
I'm not quite certain of the meaning of this song, but one thing is for sure - this is a really beautiful song, one of my favorites off of A Different Kind of Pain.
definetly about a soldier at war.
"i can see the sky light up and the ground explode"- I think this relates to a bomb going off
"got my sights locked in, i can see you breathe there i watched you fall and somebody scream"- Hes got his sniper rifle locked in on a civilian and he can see them breath. He shots them (then i watched you fall).
The rest is pretty self explanitory
i think this song is about a soldier on the battlefield thinking about the one he loves, maybe not, i dunno
i agree with coheed-cambria, it could be a soldier. he's getting so confused about why people can be so cruel in the world, and he gets so confused that he begins to think he can see "her" being hurt too. and everything keeps reminding him of "her". so he promises to make it back.
DOESN'T COLD JUST MOTHER FUCKING KICK ASS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
this song is excellent, very well done, probably my favorite cold song
I possibly thought it could be the guy breaking up with the girl. When he talks of angels flying away, he is flying away from her. That's my personal take on it anyway.
i agree with jarmac,it sounds like a break up
no, i think 'when angels fly away' is seeing an enemy soldier dying, and feeling guilty coz their angel has flown away. i think this is a response to the war in Iraq, and scotter is saying that fighting in wars is wrong. I might be wrong tho lol
