Angel 2 Meaning & Lyrics (Yuki Watanuki | Yukichikasaku/Men)
The songwriter describes a very specific fear, the pain from a dream where he destroyed a Jenga tower. This physical metaphor stands for a collapsing relationship. He then shares a heartbreaking wish: ‘I want to stay swallowed by the avalanche in my heart.’
Tenshi ga kuru mae ni omukae niBefore the angel comes to pick you up,
Tenshi ga kuru mae ni omukae ni iku yoI’ll go pick you up before the angel comes.
Ano yo no mane shite mitari shiteI try imitating the afterlife,
Kainarashita kodoku o matouand cloak myself in a tamed loneliness.
Kono yo de saitei na koto o itte shimattatteEven if I say the absolute worst things in this world,
Soko de wa yurusareruthey’ll be completely forgiven there.
Eitai ni you no nai joutaiI’m in a state where eternity is of no use to me,
Jenga o kowashita yume no itasa wabut the pain from the dream where I destroyed the Jenga tower,
Chikai wa tooku de nagurenai basho destays far away in a place where I can’t be hit,
Boku o keritsukeruyet it still kicks me while I’m down.
Tenshi ga kuru mae ni omukae ni iku yoI’ll go pick you up before the angel comes,
Saigo no jikan ato de kaesu tsumori no tegamiholding a letter I plan to return after our final moments.
Sayonara o kawashite owakare wa shinaiWe’ll exchange our goodbyes but we won’t ever part ways,
Kokoro no nadare ni nomarete itaitaiI want to stay swallowed by the avalanche in my heart.
Nanika tarinai kutteI feel like something is missing,
Tarinai kara ki ni shimasuand because it’s missing, it weighs heavily on my mind.
Fuwafuwa mo tarinai waI don’t have enough of that soft comfort either,
Sore ga mata sabishiku naru ne darling nani itaiand that just makes me lonely again, darling, it hurts so much.
Tenshi ga kuru mae ni omukae ni iku yoI’ll go pick you up before the angel comes,
Saigo no jikan ato de kaesu tsumori no tegamiholding a letter I plan to return after our final moments.
Sayonara o kawashite owakare wa shinaiWe’ll exchange our goodbyes but we won’t ever part ways,
Kokoro no nadare ni nomarete itaitaiI want to stay swallowed by the avalanche in my heart.
Tenshi ga kitara nante iou ka nanteWhat will I say when the angel finally arrives?
Oshienai yo dare ni moI won’t tell anyone,
Kono mi kuchihatete moeven if this body rots away entirely.
Tenshi ga kuru mae ni omukae ni iku yoI’ll go pick you up before the angel comes,
Saigo no jikan ato de kaesu tsumori no tegamiholding a letter I plan to return after our final moments.
Sayonara o kawashite owakare wa shinaiWe’ll exchange our goodbyes but we won’t ever part ways,
Kokoro no nadare ni nomarete itaitaiI want to stay swallowed by the avalanche in my heart.
