Angel
Helker
A Heartbreaking Ode to a Lost Angel
Helker's song "Angel" is a poignant and emotional exploration of loss, grief, and the enduring love a parent feels for a child who never had the chance to live. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of anticipation and joy, as the narrator imagines and dreams of their unborn child. The phrase "De mil formas te imagine" (I imagined you in a thousand ways) and "Hasta despierta te soñé" (I even dreamed of you while awake) convey the depth of the narrator's longing and excitement for the arrival of their baby.
However, the song takes a tragic turn as the narrator reveals that something went wrong, shattering their dreams and leaving them in a state of profound sorrow. The lines "Pero algo se complico, Quitándome la ilusión" (But something got complicated, taking away my illusion) and "Matándome. No entiendo porque..." (Killing me. I don't understand why...) express the narrator's confusion and heartbreak over the loss. The repeated questioning of divine justice and the existence of God, as seen in "Divina justicia donde estas?" (Divine justice, where are you?) and "Si existe un dios, me abandono" (If there is a God, he abandoned me), highlights the narrator's struggle to find meaning and solace in their grief.
Despite the overwhelming pain, the narrator's love for their lost child remains unwavering. The lyrics "Mientras viva sentiré, Que el sol no brilla tanto como ayer" (As long as I live, I will feel that the sun does not shine as brightly as yesterday) and "No te olvidare jamás" (I will never forget you) underscore the enduring impact of this loss on the narrator's life. The song concludes with a sense of eternal connection, as the narrator vows to keep the memory of their child alive forever, even if they had to live for a century more.
