The phrase 'fallen angel'

A fallen angel is one who has come down. The word names a being who used to be something else.

The weight of the phrase sits on 'used to'. If you had always been below, there would be no fall. Having been high is the condition that makes the term work.

So the title holds two moments at once: before the fall and after it. It speaks about now while carrying then.

The next song a month later

'Less than a Lover' came on July 24 and this one on August 28. A little over a month.

That is a short interval. The usual pattern is to release a song, work it for a stretch, then move to the next.

Placed close together, the two read as one line of thought. 'Less than a Lover' means falling short of a lover; 'FALLEN ANGEL' means having fallen. Both name a state below where one started.

A title set in capitals

The title is 'FALLEN ANGEL', in full capitals.

Capitals raise the volume. They are a way of marking stress in letters. The same words in lower case go quiet.

There is a small contradiction in a song about a fallen thing shouting its title, since falling usually makes a thing smaller. That contradiction may be the song's posture.

Discovery notes

Start with this song alone. Whether it grieves the fall or enjoys it is the first thing to check.

Then play 'Less than a Lover' after it, and see whether two songs a month apart are telling one story.

Last, look at the capitals. The word for having fallen is being said loudly.

Just give it a listen, trust me.
