Breaking Benjamin - Evil Angel Meaning

Evil Angel Lyrics

Hold it together, birds of a feather,
Nothing but lies and crooked wings.
I have the answer, spreading the cancer,
You are the faith inside me.

No, don't
Leave me to die here,
Help me survive here.
Alone, don't remember,...

   I completely agree about the blindness he has for the girl I went through the same thing (being stupid) but I agree with that.

   I agree with the second interpretation. It could be anything addictive or something he is just too blind to see that is hurting him and he can't let go.

   I this song could have two meanings. It could be about drugs. Also, it could mean the singer loves someone, who is constantly betraying him and hurting him, though he trusts her completely. For example, "Why can't I breathe, evil angel?" The easiest one to see, however, is drugs.

   The 'evil angel' he's referring to could be drugs or alcohol or other addictions and false comforts. As it says in the song "nothing but lies and crooked wings," refers to how people get a 'good' or 'happy' feeling from drugs and alcohol, even though the feeling is temporary and has its consequences. Also, "all these imaginary friends,
   hiding betrayal," would be saying how eventually drugs, alcohol and other things would cause harm and 'betrayal' when the adictee ends up in therapy or something like that.
