The Cab: Angel with a Shotgun Meaning
Song Released: 2011
Angel with a Shotgun Lyrics
An angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun..)
Get out your guns, battles begun,
are you a saint, or a sinner?
If loves a fight, than I shall die,
with my heart on a trigger.
They say before...
-
when i here this song all i can think about is castel and dean from supernatural. the words all line up perfectly i think they should play this song on the show
-
-If loves a fight, then I shall die, with my heart on a trigger- This is stating that they will fight for love no matter if they lose.
-I’m a angle with a shotgun- A angle isn’t supposed to kill, this stating that they would do anything for this person, such as go against beliefs and to kill.
-I don’t care if heaven won’t take me back- They don’t care if they will be accepted by society, family, or friends. They will do anything for this person showing their devotion to them, no matter what others think.
-They say before you start a war, you better know what your fighting for- You have to know what you want, before you go for it.
-We’ll, baby, you are all that I adore- They believe that this person is all they need in life, and will give up their life for them.
-If love is what you need, a soldier I will be- They will fight for who they love. -
The song can metaphorically be about the LGBT community from an allies perspective probably. (maybe his girl is bi?)
"If love is what you need, a soldier I will be" The community is about love and acceptance, this shows the singer's willing to fight for love.
"Get out your guns, battles begun
Are you a saint, or a sinner?"
Religious peoeple tend to see the LGBT and their allies as "sinners". He wants to know what side your fighting for. The battle part referring to the long stride until we are all equal in matters of sexuality and gender, and the guns refer to the truth that it's ok to be LGBT and to protect LGBT people.
"I don't care if heaven won't take me back"
Simply put, he will fight for the LGBT community EVEN if it means "going to hell" because he believes in equality.
"Angel with a shotgun"
He'll do anything for the community, he will protect
"I'll throw away my faith babe just to keep you safe"
He use to be religious, but when he realized that his religion is against LGBT people he threw away his faith in order to be an ally. -
I think it means that a soldier would die for their country so it can be free
-
Get out your guns, battles begun- the singer fell in love
Are you a saint, or a sinner?- he wants to know what side you are on
If loves a fight, than I shall die
With my heart on a trigger- he will fight for love
They say before you start a war
You better know what you're fighting for- you have to know its love before you stat fighting for it
Well baby, you are all that I adore- she is the only person he loves
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be- he is ready to fight to keep her
I'm an angel with a shotgun- he is her "Angel" and will defend her
Fighting til' the wars won- he is fighting for her
I don't care if heaven won't take me back- he is willing to go through hell for her
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe- he wants her to be safe at all costs and will throw away everything for her
Don't you know you're everything I have?- he loves her and only her
And I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight- he wants to have fun in the relationship not just be fighting all the time
Sometimes to win, you've got to sin- even though he is a good person he will do bad things for her
Don't mean I'm not a believer- he is still a good person
And major Tom, will sing along
Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer- only a few people understand how he feels everyone else makes fun of him
They say before you start a war
You better know what you're fighting for
Well baby, you are all that I adore
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be
I'm an angel with a shotgun
Fighting til' the wars won
I don't care if heaven won't take me back
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe
Don't you know you're everything I have?
And I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight
Oh, oh whoa whoa oh whoa
I'm an angel with a shotgun
Fighting til' the wars won
I don't care if heaven won't take me back
I'm an angel with a shotgun
Fighting til' the wars won
I don't care if heaven won't take me back
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe
Don't you know you're everything I have?
(I'm an angel with a shotgun)
And I, want to live, not just survive, tonight
(Live, not just survive)
And I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight- he is fighting for her but is going to have fun
They say before you start a war
You better know what you're fighting for
Well baby, you are all that I adore
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be -
This song implies that the angel will do anything to keep her loved one safe.
-
This song talks about willing to do anything to protect your loved one. So when the song says "Angel With a Shotgun" That means you are willing to do something bad, even if that includes dying for someone you love.
Thats what this song means to me. -
The song merely states that the "Angel with a shotgun" is willing to do anything deemed possible to make his love happy.
-
I believe that this song is about a guy who is willing to give up what he believes in to protect the one he loves. I believe their using the line "Angel with a shotgun" as a metaphor meaning to protect, even if it means they have to give up something.
-
This song would go good for my project for english. I needed something to make a cd and some songs to go along with it so I picked this one. The book was called Of Mice and Men. Sad story.
-
I honestly think it's about a gay guy, who is Christian, but since it's against the religion, he is willing to give up is belief in God, because this is what he thinks is right.
Because he grew up as an christian, he's an angel, but now he is fighting against it, so he's an angel with a shotgun -
"before you start a war, youd better know what youre fighting for" before you start any conflict or hurt someone you love by words or action, you need to know whats at sake. whats the point of your action and what you are trying to prove. what are you fighting for when you hurt you loved ones.//// or before you go into war, you need to have a goal in mind, which is the girl her adores.
"i dont care i heaven wont take me back, ill throw away my faith babe just to keep you safe" he is willing to sin to keep his loved ones safe
"Angel with a shotgun" a good faithful saint who willing become a sinner for the sake of protecting his loved ones.
"im gonna hide my wings tonight" tonight, hes no longer an angel hes starting the fight for her love tonight
This song means so much to me. :> -
I think its about angel who is protecting wat she loves. And she doesnt care if she will go to hell for it beacause wat she loves is all that matters in her eyes.
-
I think that the sing is about a person that falls in love with someone that is forbidden to talk or do anything with that 1st person.
-
I think the song is talking about DESTIEL! I think thats how ya spell it XD
But really I believe the song is about a guy willing to do anything, even lose his chance of going to heaven, just to protect his love.
