How can I sleep
When everyone else turns to dust, how can I breathe?
When my mouth is filled with their ashes
Another day lost trying to exit the program
I've seen enough
To feed a psychosis for a lifetime

Bloody angel!

When did it start?
This force is too strong to resist
Where is too far?
All I did was try to save them
Haunted by screams
Chasing me back to my childhood, I cannot flee
I've got tormentors for a lifetime

Come, bloody angel
Break off your chains, and look what I've found in the dirt
Pale battered body, seems like she was struggling
Something is wrong with this world

Bloody angel!

All that I know
I'm willing to give it away
All that I love
Disappeared like sand in the ocean
Remember the lives
Lost within withering pages, trying to hide
But I see tragedy through a lifetime
Bloody angel!

Come, bloody angel
Break off your chains, and look what I found in the dirt
Pale battered body, seems she was struggling
Something is wrong with this world

Fierce bloody angel
The blood is on your hands, why did you come to this world?

Everybody turns to dust
Everybody turns to dust
Everybody turns to dust
Everybody turns to dust

The blood is on your hands
The blood is on your hands
The blood is on your hands
The blood is on your hands

Come, bloody angel
Break off your chains, and look what I found in the dirt
Pale battered body, seems she was struggling
Something is wrong with this world

Bloody angel!

Bloody angel!

    My Interpretation

    First off, love the song to death (get it?) and can't stop listening to it. The video is kick ass, too. Anyway, onto the interpretation!

    The song is obviously about some guy who feels extremely guilty about possibly killing someone - maybe related to the Holocaust, considering Josef Mengele was considered the "angel of death"? - and is struggling to return to his daily life with the heavy guilt following him. It gets to the point that he's come to the realization that no matter what he does, the guilt will never fade and is willing to succumb to it by calling upon the "bloody angel" to put him out of his misery. The angel being Johannes in this case. Mmf! So good.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
