My Heart Is Broken Lyrics

"Sweet Sleep" is probably referring to death, aka dark angel, as that would release them from that fate.

Song Meaning

Exactly what I was thinking, the person in this song would rather die than continue living "Release me, I can't hold on".. "I will wander until the end of time, torn away from you" saying that her friend's or lovers life was taken away and now she will search until the end of time to see them again. Person in this song is definitely not religious.. "Half alive without you, my heart is broken, sweet sleep, my dark angel deliver us" solidifies my statement, she would rather die to be reunited with their loved one than continue on this Earth.....
