Insanity seems to be a frequent topic in Toyah songs. A lot of it probably stems from her childhood experiences, including intensive therapy for several physical disabilities, speech therapy and dyslexia. The song 'Creepy Room' particularly refers to this part of her childhood.
In this case, she appears to be speaking with the voice of an asylum inmate who can't understand why others can't see her 'angel', and who eventually resorts to violence and (apparently) murder, and briefly makes her escape. As she's recapture, she seems to revert to a fugue state of some kind, and imagines herself safe with the angel.
