"Melancholy Angel" lyrics

"Melancholy Angel"

I'm waiting for life full of torment within
An evil intention lies under my skin
And leads me astray

In empty romance I am losing myself
Delusional chance, I'm embracing silence
And all shades of grey

Hopeless, I'm drowning
Helpless, I'm trying
Desperate to find the reason I can believe

There you are, my melancholy angel
Taking me from grace to sorrows
Lust has gone and future is a stranger
Buried are all doves and swallows
I can see through the shadows of your mind
Poisoned tongue, magnetic monster
I will kill my melancholy angel
Waking from my darkest nights

I see in the mirror the void I've become
The joys and the horrors keep turning me numb
A taste of despair

The more that I grieve and the less that I care
The less that I give and the more that I bear
The price that I pay

Hopeless, I'm drowning
Helpless, I'm trying
Desperate to find the reason I can believe

There you are, my melancholy angel
Taking me from grace to sorrows
Lust has gone and future is a stranger
Buried are all doves and swallows
I can see through the shadows of your mind
Poisoned tongue, magnetic monster
I will kill my melancholy angel
Waking from my darkest nights

Hopeless, I'm drowning
Helpless, I'm trying
Desperate to find the reason I can believe

There you are, my melancholy angel
Taking me from grace to sorrows
Lust has gone and future is a stranger
Buried are all doves and swallows
I can see through the shadows of your mind
Poisoned tongue, magnetic monster
I will kill my melancholy angel
Waking from my darkest nights

"Melancholy Angel" is the second single from Visions Of Atlantis' eighth studio album, "Pirates". The song was released on April 13, 2022, accompanied by a music video on which the band commented, "We continue our journey taking us through darker waters, heavier storms, where all serves as background for a metaphor about personal growth and spirituality. If 'Wanderers' was more about the bright side of our path, 'Pirates' definitely takes us deeply into shadow work, where we are facing other kinds of monsters along the way!"
Visions of Atlantis debuted this song live at the "Observatory OC" music venue in Santa Ana, California, on the 7th of March, 2022.
