When The Angels Played

Intro: Verse You were looking for silver looking for gold You never did feel the wind turning cold You always said you didn?t need that much anymore Verse You were carrying the weight of the world Running around with all that pain So you never did feel my hand in the rain You were dreaming deep down in the night Dreaming all of your days So you never did wake when the angels played Verse There was fire in the tunnel fire in the wash And the ringing of the bells You never did wake when the angels played Maybe you?ll find your silver Maybe you?ll find your gold Maybe we?ll meet again on the road sometime Verse Storm in December storm in July I was standing in the door When you said goodbye You never did wake when the angels played Instrumental /G Verse There was fire in the tunnel Fire in the wash And the ringing of the bells You never did wake when the angels played Maybe you?ll find your silver Maybe you?ll find your gold Maybe we?ll meet again on the road Verse Storm in December storm in July I was standing in the door When you said goodbye You never did wake when the angels played You never did wake when the angels played Intro (alternate with )

La chanson évoque une quête incessante de richesses et de sens, tout en soulignant une douleur émotionnelle persistante. Le protagoniste semble passer à côté de moments importants et spirituels, en se perdant dans ses propres rêves et préoccupations, sans jamais vraiment percevoir l'appel des anges. Les références à différents moments, comme les tempêtes et les adieux, renforcent un sentiment de perte et d'absence. Le contexte de cette chanson semble toucher à la fragilité de l'existence, à la lutte avec ses propres démons, ainsi qu’à une recherche d’évasion qui empêche de vivre pleinement les instants précieux. C’est une réflexion sur le besoin de se reconnecter à ce qui est véritablement significatif, même au milieu des tumultes de la vie.
