Cane Hill vocalist Elijah Witt shared with Metal Hammer:
“This is my commentary as an intertextual feminist based off of relationships that I’ve seen and been in, where you have these girls being completely emotionally and mentally and spiritually beaten down, by the ideas of what they’re supposed...
[Verse 1]
You told me to smile so I smile on command
You told me to scream so I did it again
I jump when you say cause I thought you would lead
But now you’ve crawled in my mind and you’re not planning to leave
[Pre-Chorus]
If you come, if you go, if you stay
I’ll remember your face either way
[Chorus]
I used to be an angel, now I’m angel dust
I used to be an angel, now I’m angel dust
[Verse 2]
I lay on my side just to give him a reason
Yeah I drink every night just to make it seem easy
If I don’t give him his way he just cuts off my wings
Am I a fucking disgrace? That’s what he wants me to think
[Chorus]
I used to be an angel, now I’m angel dust
I used to be an angel, now I’m angel dust
[Bridge]
I’ll skin the skin I’m living in
No one ever told me it would be like this
Yeah I wanna feel better, but I just don’t fit
I’ll skin the skin I’m living in
No one ever told me it would be like this
Yeah I wanna feel better, but I just don’t fit
[Chorus]
I used to be an angel, now I’m angel dust
I used to be an angel, now I’m angel dust
[Outro]
I got it, I got it
I got it, I got it, I got it
I got it, I got it
I got it, I got it, I got it
No one, no one, no one
