"Since we talked alone
Come angels of the Lord
Come angels of unknown"
is the thought of having a deep conversation with someone close to you that could have been life changing. It could even be a deep realization with God. I have left a conversation before with the feeling that I have no idea what path to take or where to go next. The breath leaves you and you pick up your pace to get to your car. You race home and at the first red light a tear rolls down your face. It does not even need to be a conversation; you could have lost a loved one weeks ago and the impact of their life on yours just hit you. They're gone. There is no more hearing their voice on the other end of the phone. The feeling of loneliness or confusion often leads us to seek comfort from a power beyond human comprehension. These lyrics then mean that some people may call to the Lord to send help first because that is who they are familiar with. But then there is the omnipresent question: Who is God? Then we call the angels of unknown if we do not have the faith to believe in a presence such as God.
The key of this song along with the few choice notes speaks to me the most. When I first heard the notes that are so defined, just a guitar and his voice, it felt pure to me. His emotion and passion comes through the stress in his voice and the fact that you cannot even hear his voice that clearly emphasizes the message of distress.
Thank you for speaking to me through this song MCR! Just thought I'd share. :)
The meaning of the lyrics I hear
