Oscar And The Wolf - Angel Face lyrics
About this lyric:
Oscar And The Wolf's latest single, "Angel Face" (released February 2024), marks a significant shift in their sound and lyrical themes. Here's a breakdown of the song and the critical reception it has received so far:
A Departure from Dreamy Soundscapes:
Fans accustomed to Oscar And The Wolf's signature dreamy soundscapes might be surprised by "Angel Face." This new track is a more direct and emotionally raw experience. It ditches the layered production for a stripped-down, anthemic approach.
Heartbreak and Vulnerability:
Lyrically, the song delves into the depths of heartbreak and despair. Max Colombie, the band's frontman, lays bare his emotional state, singing about being "bruised and battered on the verge of despair" (https://earmilk.com/2024/02/13/oscar-and-the-wolf-finds-serenity-behind-the-angel-face/). The "Angel Face" becomes a symbol of a lost love, both alluring and destructive.
Critical Reception:
Reviews for "Angel Face" have been generally positive. Critics praise the song's raw honesty and Colombie's powerful vocals (https://earmilk.com/2024/02/13/oscar-and-the-wolf-finds-serenity-behind-the-angel-face/). Some reviewers note the shift in sound, with some finding it refreshing while others might miss the band's previous dreamlike quality.
Does it ever get better than the good stuff? When it's all love Baby, you got away, a million miles away Cover my bleeding heart From all love Oh, I'm so out of place I'm so out of place Fucked up at the bar with the lights on Dance alone to our favorite song I'm out of my mind and I just can't hold on And I run these shots like a marathon Fucked up mess, I'm stressed and it's all wrong So you just left me in the dark And you left without a trace Angel face, angel face So you just left me in the dark And you left without a trace Angel face, angel face So everything I gave wasn't enough I'm trying to understand And each day you stay away Is a day I fade away Guess I'm not strong enough 'Cause I'm all torn down, miss my hideaway Am I ever gonna be okay? Fucked up at the bar with the lights on Dance alone to our favorite song I'm out of my mind and I just can't hold on And I run these shots like a marathon Fucked up mess, I'm stressed and it's all wrong So you just left me in the dark And you left without a trace Angel face, angel face So you just left me in the dark And you left without a trace Angel face, angel face Angel face, angel face Angel face, angel face You just left me in the dark And you left without a trace You just left me outside your heart And you left without a trace Angel face So you just left me in the dark And you left without a trace Angel face, angel face Angel face, angel face Angel face (angel face)
