In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Stand here for me angel, Oh little child so broken and wild
Bear not life on your shoulders, just kiss it one last time
Was the music to loud for you, to raw to be true
Were the abstracts too dark for you, I beg you now to
Watch the sky so bright, see all its light
Here I am, was it everything you spoke of
Oh little angel
Yeah! Here I am, was it everything you've dreamt of
Oh little angel
Bow down for me heavenly one, Shed not those tears my little friend
Fear not god anymore, because you find him in my arms
Was the volume to high for you, to touch for the blue
Were desires too dark for you, to good to be true
Watch the sky so bright, see all its light
Here I am, was it everything you spoke of
Oh little angel
Yeah! Here I am, was it everything you've dreamt of
Oh little angel
Tell me now how your wings got broken
Tell me now how your spine got whipped by leather
Tell me now how your tongue got spilt
Tell me all the things you need to drift away
Watch the sky so bright, see all its light fade
Watch the sky so full of light
For the last time so bright
Bear not life on your shoulders, just kiss it one last time
Was the music to loud for you, to raw to be true
Were the abstracts too dark for you, I beg you now to
Watch the sky so bright, see all its light
Here I am, was it everything you spoke of
Oh little angel
Yeah! Here I am, was it everything you've dreamt of
Oh little angel
Bow down for me heavenly one, Shed not those tears my little friend
Fear not god anymore, because you find him in my arms
Was the volume to high for you, to touch for the blue
Were desires too dark for you, to good to be true
Watch the sky so bright, see all its light
Here I am, was it everything you spoke of
Oh little angel
Yeah! Here I am, was it everything you've dreamt of
Oh little angel
Tell me now how your wings got broken
Tell me now how your spine got whipped by leather
Tell me now how your tongue got spilt
Tell me all the things you need to drift away
Watch the sky so bright, see all its light fade
Watch the sky so full of light
For the last time so bright

Innocence doesnt last long, strike out of yourself and show the world the sick twisted fucker you are.. x)
well said =P
I think:
1 it
s about death, how it lures a young soul into suicide, it is sung from deaths perspective.2 it`s about the end of the world, and how death invites all of us.
3 it
s about a pedophile that locks a child away and forever, so it never sees the light of the sky again.
