Angels or devils is such a gorgeous song. I think everyone's interpretation is valid. Personally to me it is about "demons" in the sense that we all have things we need to fight, move past or conquer. They might be small or large but everyone's got them and it takes time and effort to try to take them down (but fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time) but sometimes you fail and give in (that I'm ever gonna come here tonight this is the last time - I will fall) it's making a pact with yourself to try and overcome whatever it may be. " are we ever are we ever gonna learn to fly" to me means am I ever gonna get past this and be free. "I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold" represents fearing the things that may make you stumble again and fall back to your old ways. My absolute favorite line though is towards the end, "take a breath - make it deep cause it might be the last one you get" I love it, everytime he says this part I take a deep breath with him, I can't help it, cause one of these days it will be your last... so true, brilliant song!
