I'm not making a lot of headway understanding the lyrics. I understand various lines but not the song as a whole. If anyone has any thoughts on the song or can direct me to stuff Tori has said about it, I'd appreciate it. I usually do OK figuring out what Tori is talking about, but "Angels" is eluding me. Thanks. Cheers, Tom M.

It is an article from "la musik", a Swedish music 'zine. It was reprinted in The Independent, a newspaper from the UK, in the Nov. 2003 edition. Hopefully it will shed some light on Tori's lyrics for you. You can see the whole article at http://thedent.com/more.php?id=P1385_0_1_0_C The two new songs on the album Angels and Snow Cherries From France can you crack the lyrics for Angels to me? (giggle) I'll try the line about the man that better watch his back could be about anyone in America who think they won't be involved (by the current political administration). I guess you could say that the Angels represent the missing votes during the last presidential election. People still found it difficult to understand that they were unable to undo the result. It's getting better by the day, but it's been a tough two years. I think about the war in Iraq, too, and the depressing fact that we're still in it, people warned us for this situation, but if you try and speak out in America, people say you're not supporting the country, but it's the administration you're not supporting. It's funny, because Christians talk about people being possessed, but they're attempting to possess the voice of the land. So 'Angels' is partly about the 'lost' votes, and partly about a mass of people who could not see that they had the strength to stand up to everything that followed. And what is an Angel? according to my opinion it's someone who are able to stand above something.
