Discover the story of the song > Break Angels – Afi

The song is about a person (the protagonist) who sees themselves as the father figure of a group of great boys. They warn these boys not to get caught in their sights. The protagonist reflects on their own father, who they see as blind and unable to see anything. The protagonist also mentions how their father is fighting within them. They talk about pretty lies that they have been told over time and how these lies break angels. The chorus repeats the idea of feeling the light and being awake on a holy night, with the protagonist being the way and their romantic partner being the light. The bridge talks about wanting to hear these pretty lies perfectly recited. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the connection between the protagonist and their partner as the light and the way.
