Cover art for Angels lyrics by Within Temptation

MY FAVORITE SONG!!!!!!!

As for the meaning: I disagree with it being about someone breaking up with you and finding out that they never loved you because of two lyrics:

"I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door, there's no escape now, no mercy no more": If this song was about being dumped, then this part would mean getting together all of the other girls that the guy betrayed to take revenge on him, which sounds like something out of some bad chick flick.

"You could have chosen a different path in life" Betraying girls isn't really a major "path" someone can take.

I think this song is about a girl who is in love with someone who has gained her trust, but the person, who is a serial killer, kills her and she finds out that he never loved her. So, she is seeking revenge on him with the other people that he killed. (It also reminds me of "The Lovely Bones" a lot.)

My Interpretation
