Breaking Free from a Haunting Love

Lina Morgana's song "My Angel" delves into the complex emotions of a troubled relationship, where love and fear intertwine. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person haunted by the presence of someone they once loved, now referred to as an 'angel.' This angelic figure is paradoxically both a source of comfort and a cause of deep fear, suggesting a relationship that has turned toxic or abusive. The recurring imagery of 'silent clouds' moving ominously towards the narrator symbolizes an impending sense of doom or realization that something is fundamentally wrong.

The song's chorus, with its repeated assertion of not being afraid, reflects a struggle for empowerment and self-assurance. Despite the fear and the emotional paralysis described in the verses, the narrator is determined to overcome these feelings. The lines "I don't believe when you say you even loved me" reveal a profound sense of betrayal and disillusionment, indicating that the love once professed by the 'angel' was either insincere or has been tainted by their actions.

In the latter part of the song, the narrator speaks of wearing a mask to hide the truth and the need to 'dig the grave' to bury a heart that cannot be saved. This metaphorical burial signifies the end of the relationship and the emotional closure the narrator seeks. The final verses express a poignant mix of fear and liberation, as the narrator decides to leave, taking a piece of the past with them but ultimately breaking free from the 'spell' that bound them. The song concludes with a powerful declaration of newfound freedom, despite the lingering presence of the 'angel.'
