Concrete Angel Lyrics
Let me breath you in, and breath the words in your mouth
Inside you're shivering, the silence shouts so loud
I just want to, I just want to stay around
And while my heart beats I promise I won't let you down
If I'm somewhere else it doesn't mean that I don't see
That you don't trust yourself, that's why you don't trust me
It makes me crazy, when you're crazy, you don't speak
You think you know me, but what you know is just skin deep
If you keep building these walls
Brick by brick towers so tall
Soon I won't see you at all
Till the concrete angel falls
I knew who you were from the start
But now I don't know who you are
Soon there will be nothing at all
Till the concrete angel falls
If you keep building these walls
Brick by brick towers so tall
Soon I won't see you at all
Till the concrete angel falls
I knew who you were from the start
But now I don't know who you are
Soon there will be nothing at all
Till the concrete angel falls
Inside you're shivering, the silence shouts so loud
I just want to, I just want to stay around
And while my heart beats I promise I won't let you down
That you don't trust yourself, that's why you don't trust me
It makes me crazy, when you're crazy, you don't speak
You think you know me, but what you know is just skin deep
Brick by brick towers so tall
Soon I won't see you at all
Till the concrete angel falls
I knew who you were from the start
But now I don't know who you are
Soon there will be nothing at all
Till the concrete angel falls
Brick by brick towers so tall
Soon I won't see you at all
Till the concrete angel falls
I knew who you were from the start
But now I don't know who you are
Soon there will be nothing at all
Till the concrete angel falls

My interpretation of this song is that you have the girl who, for goodness sakes, just wants her boy to speak what is on his mind. To JUST LET IT OUT ALREADY!! The boy is closed up and is not showing his emotion. He does this as a defense mechanism to protect himself from getting hurt. HE became vulnerable and I think he loves her, but there must have been something that he learnt that possible scared him, and as a defensive mechanism , he is now cold and sheltered. When someone who you care about is hurting or closed up, and he/she doesn’t want to talk about it, it is very frustrating for her, it makes her crazy because she can’t “fix him.” She is pretty much saying to him that in the beginning he was himself, open and emotional. It was the boy she fell in love with. Now since “whatever happened” he closed up and isn’t being usual slef. Furthermore, she is saying if you keep acting like this, she will no longer see what she originally saw in him. She doesn’t recognize him, because he is just so cold. The concrete angel is him. Concrete symbolizes his coldness and protective barriers he built to shield himself from getting hurt. And underneath all that coldness is his true self, and angel that she came to love.
The song is about being closed off with feelings.
@schonenberg It's a beautiful song too.

I think the lyrics sung by the one and only Christina Novelli come from a prospective love interest of who the song is directed toward suggesting first that they can detect their apprehension and anxiety and they understand and assure them that they will respond reciprocally if the individual offers a gesture of affection, but then if they remain in their state of inaction and don’t express anything Christina will conclude that you’re not anyone worth her time to learn about or invest any kind of emotion into.
The song is probably a very subconscious kind of way to encourage showgoers on the dance floor to get close to who they’re interested in so that they can bond and assuring that the courted will be flattered and accepting of such an expression and maybe even if not accepting, at the very least more acquainted and someone potentially able to be recognized.
