Virtual Angel

ARTMS's song 'Virtual Angel' delves into the themes of love, transformation, and emotional resilience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who has long hidden their true emotions and powers, only to be transformed by the presence of a significant other. The repeated lines 'I'll be there for you when your wings break' and 'Letting go of you, that's a heartbreak' emphasize a deep commitment and the pain of potential separation, highlighting the strength and vulnerability inherent in love.

The song's narrative begins with the protagonist revealing their disbelief in love and their hidden emotional scars. The lines '내 안에 가둬둔 비밀의 얘기 / 사랑이란 감정 따위 / 믿지 못할 나의 얘기' suggest a past filled with skepticism and guarded emotions. However, the encounter with the other person brings about a profound change, as seen in '근데 너를 본 순간 / 너무 기뻐 울었어,' where the protagonist experiences overwhelming joy and tears for the first time.

The imagery of '얼어붙은 내 맘에 / 새로 피어난 꽃들과' symbolizes the thawing of a frozen heart and the blossoming of new emotions. The protagonist's transformation is further emphasized by the metaphor of becoming a 'virtual angel,' a guardian figure who finds strength in both light and darkness. The song concludes with a promise of eternal support and love, encapsulated in the lines '행복이란 through the line / 널 더 사랑해 줄게 / 너를 향한 유일한 angel.' This journey from emotional isolation to a state of Eden-like happiness underscores the transformative power of love and the protagonist's newfound role as a savior and protector.
