Halle Angel lyrics meaning

Angel lyrics meaning by Halle delves into the inherent value of people, majorly women (as this song sounds like it was targeted to women). The song exemplifies that the value of women is incomparable, and that God has created them to be perfect, and heavenly, like Angels.

The song defines women-Black women as angels, blissful and perfect as God intended.  In all these perfection, Halle implies that there are imperfections that may give us scars, and make us fall. But all these is for a greater purpose, as we need to stop viewing falling as the end.

Halle says she wrote the song as an affirmation to tell herself she could keep going while growing into herself and playing Ariel- The Little Mermaid. As a Black person playing the role, she got a lot of backlash for her casting.

Halle Angel lyrics meaning Verse 1

Do you ever make it out of your head?
Do you still swim in your thoughts?
Do you still mistake your flaws for property?
Something that just don’t sit right with you
But Heaven knows, Heaven knows
Your wings can’t weight you down

Here, Angel lyrics meaning by Halle examines the many imperfections people dwell on, majorly the things that make them feel less than they what they are.

She asks if they ever make it out of their own heads, which is a question of freedom. Making it out of their own head means they don’t allow what seems as flaws to bother them and they take in the world and live in the moment. However, the song implies that this is just what they have positioned their mind to believe. She draws a metaphoric comparison between the wings of angels and how it makes them soar and fly, and the many amazing features we humans have which can only make us look better, feel better.

Angel lyrics meaning {Pre-chorus}

Angels make a way somehow
And if we fall, we fall on clouds

Halle indicates that Angels are powerful creatures, and thus, they are not stranded or confused, they make a way somehow. And even if they were to fall, they “fall on clouds”, which is a reference to the fact that falling is not the end or as bad as people make it look to be. She points out that even if Angels could fall, we humans could fall too, but like Angels, our fall isn’t the end of us and it is to something great, like “clouds”

Halle Angel lyrics meaning {Chorus}

Black girl here, black girl with the black girl hair
Took a little sunkiss just to look like this
God sent, you’re an angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Heaven wears your halo
They know you’re an angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)
Angel (Angel)

Halle says she wrote the song as an affirmation to tell herself she could keep going  while growing into herself and playing Ariel- The Little Mermaid. As a Black person playing the role, she got a lot of backlash for her casting.

Here is “Igbo and Shayo” Meaning by Burna Boy

Here, Halle Angel lyrics meaning uses the song to encourage Black Girls with Black hair and emphasize the fact that they shouldn’t think less of themselves because God took his time to make them. They are heavenly creatures and should think of themselves as that. She says “Heaven wears your Halo”. A Halo is a person’s essence. This then implies that their power and strength is drawn from the seat of heaven itself.

Angel lyrics meaning by Halle {Verse 2}

I’m a big deal
I get sick and tired of holdin’ it in
Rich blood, you can probably see the gold in my skin
I’m more than a girl, won’t let the troubles of the world
Your wings can’t weight you down

But angels make a way somehow
And if we fall, we fall on clouds

Verse 2 sees Halle brag about her person, simplifying her features with phrases that show that her status is not like anyone else’s. Here, Halle Angel lyrics meaning points to the confidence she has in what maker her being. Like “Rich Blood” and “Gold Skin” which are not things that make up a person but things she thinks she is made up of.

Halle Angel lyrics meaning {Bridge}

Some might hate and they wait on your fall (Oh)
They don’t know there’s a grace for it all (Oh)
My flaws don’t make me
Beautiful and real, all you fake cannot compare
Oh, you’re perfectly a masterpiece
And all of me, even my scars
Even my scars, yeah

Halle then addresses the hatred that comes with being Black, and especially being a Black Girl. She says it may get to her and people that look like her sometimes, especially when people that don’t look like you are rooting for you to fail.

She implies that even when it does happen, there’s a greater purpose for it. It’s all a journey of making you a masterpiece, and at the end, your scars are a testament of how far you’ve come. Even the scars are not bad as people make them to be. They remind us to be grateful of what we’ve overcome.
