I think its about how many guys give up their dreams because of some reason, whether it be a war which changes them forever, or a woman who, even though she is the love of his life, is anchoring him down from his dreams.

"An angel clipped my wings from the back of a broken dream"

The tangibility of his dreams disappeared when he was burdened with responsibilities, perhaps the angel is representing his woman.
