Angles are generally regarded as good, since they come from heaven, and people presume they are all benevolent and want to help you, but if you read the Old Testament you realize that they are not all that, they simply do the bidding of God, whatever that may be(ex. kill all the firstborns, wipe out a whole city). Angels are impartial, at most, to the human race. This is something I feel is part of the songs meaning. Other then that it can also be a social critique.
