Engaged in a memory
Engaged in a prison of guilt
Surrounded by reproach
And everybody knows
(Chorus)
She flies over town in white shades
But you're left behind
With a thousand troubled minds
You cannot speak; you're blinded by your grief
She flies over town in white shades
And guides every step
But still you feel alone
Cause angels don't come home
As the sky is clearing
You clear your mind
Hide all mirrors not to see
What the morphine couldn't hide
Shattered faces on the floor
Your broken mask serves you no more
Chorus Twice
Engaged in a prison of guilt
Surrounded by reproach
And everybody knows
She flies over town in white shades
But you're left behind
With a thousand troubled minds
You cannot speak; you're blinded by your grief
She flies over town in white shades
And guides every step
But still you feel alone
Cause angels don't come home
You clear your mind
Hide all mirrors not to see
What the morphine couldn't hide
Your broken mask serves you no more

Quick note that the first verse is: "Encaged in a memory/Encaged in a prison of guilt/Surrounded by reproach/And everybody knows"
I think that this song is about losing someone and losing it -- the facade of being okay is shattered, hence the line "Your broken mask serves you no more". I'm not sure about the whole angel bit, but it seems like the angel (possibly a term of endearment) has left and the person left behind feels shattered.
