Angel on My Shoulder

People always wondered why being a certified non-believer that I'm set on having an angel tattoo at some point. Well... It's a long story, but can pretty much be summed up by simply saying, "Things aren't always as they seem and sometimes we just need to feel like someone's looking over our shoulder".

This brings me to today's song, "Angel on My Shoulder" by the 69 Eyes. While there are many interpretations of this song, one line sticks with me I don't wanna see you crying little angel on my shoulder. It simply makes me stop, take a moment and wonder if that little angel looking over my shoulder would be happy or sad at my actions.

I wanna feel you now like a thousand lies
Bleeding out of your heart
Burning in the night

Don't wanna see you crying
Fallen out of light

I wanna feel you now
Like an august rain
Kissing summer goodbyes
I wanna see your pain

Don't wanna see you crying
Fallen out of light

I don't wanna see you crying little angel on my shoulder
I wanna see you flying back to heaven where you belong

I wanna feel you now like a thousand knives
Digging out of my heart
Burning in the night

Don't wanna see you crying
Fallen out of light

I don't wanna see you crying little angel on my shoulder
I wanna see you flying back to heaven where you belong

Don't wanna see you crying little angel on my shoulder
I said alright gonna get you crying
Come hell or high water since you've been gone

At the end of it all, I don't want to be the one that brings tears to its eyes.
