Cover art for Song About An Angel lyrics by Sunny Day Real Estate

I didnt get what this song meant at first, but after a few weeks of listening to them, i think i know now what it's saying. Song Meaning:

It's clearly a conversation. The sad thing is that it goes nowhere. The man and angel dont help each other in anything they say to each other. It's as if the song is talking to itself. Its just a bunch of words. Neither sees the significance of speech, and instead recognizes that there is pain. In the end they both say the same thing, "discomfort comes clearly." The man and angel both know they are too different to even try to relate. And its clear to both of them that this "pain" they have will not go away after their so-called conversation. The angel has a duty to the halo, and the man is married to "pain" or sin. They are attempting to find some release but in the end realize that it's just a clearly seen discomfort.

Sunny day real estate for life. This song is better than any other stuff out there. I wish i had an angel to talk to...
