The song says so much with so little words... There's a lot of possibilities as to what the song can mean.
Obviously the streetwise angel and booksmart devils are conflicting ideas.
The silversun pickups tend to focus on teenage / mid 20s life and drama... So I assume that this song is no different.
Eventually, as a teenager, you reach a certain point in your life where maturity performs an overhaul on all the childish bullshit that exists in the drama with relationships at a young age. The booksmart angels and the streetwise devils become one and the same as the person matures and becomes more rational and less driven by emotion.
As you get older, you retreat from the ones that you would usually seek out, the "land-locked lover", and move on to be more open... The angels will seek the devils as they have now become one and the same because of their growing maturity.
Sobering from the illogical contructs of your past ways of thinking... Sobering from the impaired judgement of childhood... Sobering from a childish mind to an adult... converting into a streetwise angel (or booksmart devil) ;)
