about
Fallen Angel is an everyday human being, it is each one of us. It gets sick, has dozens of questions a minute, it loves pizza, has trouble falling asleep and dreams of a better future.
At one time, we were all one light, an indescribable energy, but we had to fall into this dense, heavy and often unfair reality for our individual, unique experiences. To expand, to learn lessons, to find joy in the darkest moments of life, which is not easy, but once we do - it teaches us not to take life so seriously, to enjoy the little things and appreciate every moment.
At least we have mornings to start all over again, to start fresh and anew, aren’t we? 🤪
I wrote this song during the tough and challenging period of my life last year, which was actually one of my greatest blessings. #FallenAngel is about resilience, rising up after a fall. It is about a second chance and hope.. Please enjoy! Love, Zi. 🧡
lyrics
Where do I go from here?
There must be some kind of error
Must be the wrong era
I feel so lost and insignificant
In a place where we sharpen our angles and stab each other
When we need a little more kindness
Why don’t you say that to my face instead of gossiping behind my back?
In the days of ignorance and injustice
My feet keep dancing the same way the Earth rotates around its axis
God, I wish the clouds would burst open and wash this pain off me!
Would you mislead a fallen angel
Trying to find its way back home?
God, let me feel the greatest tension!
Struck me with your fury!
Here I am, this is your call!
Now cast your thunderbolts at me!
Hey, what are you waiting for?
Please, let me feel alive once again
How did I end up here?
Your rage doesn't scare me, Father
I quit wearing heavy armor
Oh, I’ve fallen down, only to rise again
I found the light in my darkest hour
And you can’t take it away from me!
I’m right here, I’m in no hurry
Go ahead and throw me into the midst of the violent, ruthless, stormy winds
I can almost feel the sun on my bruised skin
What challenge do I have to overcome in order to break this vicious cycle?
I want to break free!
God, I want to know what love is!
Would you mislead a fallen angel
Trying to find its way back home?
God, let me feel the greatest tension!
Struck me with your fury!
Here I am, this is your call!
Now cast your thunderbolts at me!
Hey you! What you waiting for?
Please, let me feel alive once again
Angels, we had to fall to rise up against the odds!
Fear not, I know we can face it all together, standing as one.
The storm has passed
There is no need to worry now
So be it, let it go, darling
You're wrapped in light
You're safe and loved, here, in my arms..
