Your Guardian Angel Lyrics

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you...

    It's about true unconditional love. Plain and simple. He's saying that he would die for her, and that no matter what he'll never leave her "Use me as you will, pull my strings just for a thrill" and either she won't be with him now, or he's sick and doesn't have much time, or she has a drug/drinking problem and he wants to help her, but she turns violent whenever he confronts her, but he'll always be there for her "And I know I'll be ok, though my skies are turning grey".

    Yeah, I think this song is more about loving someone so much, that if it came down to a situation where you would have to die to save them, you would save them.

    You know when you meet someone...someone special, someone who despite all logic and reason you would happily give your entire world just to see smile. Even if they don't feel the same way about you, until the day you die, you'll be there to pick them up when they're down, to add color to their life, to give them everything they may ever want or need. Such people are rare, but truly amazing and you would give up everything just to see them be happy because at the end of the day seeing them smile is worth more than everything sacrificed.

    The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus dedicated this song to the 8 teenagers who were killed by an E4 tornado in Enterprise, Alabama on March 1, 2007. A boy named Michael Bowen tried to save his girlfriend Katie Strunk, he jumped on his girlfriend and tried to save her on raging tornado. He was killed by the tornado together with his girlfriend and they were found holding each other tight. He did it because he loved her and wanted for her to live but unfortunately, they both died. "I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever. I'II be there for you through it all, even if saving you sends me to heaven." Thus, he's her guardian angel. The song was even the school's prom theme that year.
    Enterprise High School was destroyed by this tornado.

    I think it's a song about someone who is close to dying or is dead and they are their friends guardian angel

    I used to think this was about a couple. That was my situation then... That was before I listened to this song as a mother. I think it's a parent talking to their child. Plain and simple.

    This is something that could be put author friends is what I thought of when I first heard it.my friends mean the world to me and will always be there when I need them most.no one is right or wrong in this interpretation of the song it is different for everyone depending on what is going on in their live at that moment.so as for me it's my friends though they probably wouldn't believe me I would give my life for them if it came down to it I love them more than they could realize when I am able to make one of them smile when life is giving them hell I cry I have crude for my friends that hide behind fake smiles.NOT EVERYTHING IS A LOVE SONG!!!!

    My boyfriend just sent this song to me. I know he's going through hardships right now but he refuses to tell me. This song, to me, is a description of a guy's undying love for his girlfriend. He'll always be there for her through whatever even though she may be confused. She's on the verge of walking away because she doesn't understand whats going on with the guy. He's pleading for her to stay because that is his true love.

    The incredible gift that musicians give us is their ability to write songs that not only interpret life through their eyes and stories but they give us the opportunity to take their words, emotions and vulnerability and make it connect with each and everyone who listens to it and connect to it in different ways. Lyrics are not written to be wrong or right, they are written to express deep emotional soul impacting expression. The writer, the reader and the listener or whoever will take each song and interpret it in his or her own unique and individuslistic way. No answer given here is wrong or right as I can see. That's what makes music so amazingly powerful to us. Granted we do have some musicians that dont put any thought or care into what they put out there and we have some outstanding musicians and lyricists that will blow your mind and truly get into your brain, and this is one song that has power lyrics and powerful meanings to many. Ronnie wrote this song about something dear to his heart. When I first heard this song at their first concert, to me instantly it was my father trying to make amends beyond the grave after he killed himself. I have the song tattooed as a tribute and constant reminder that even though my father saving me sent him to heaven I finally forgave him and now I am free. If I didn't interpret this song that way 25 years later I probably would not be here today.

    Um I think this song is about from a guy to the girl he loves. RJA is Christian, so I think the "Even if saving you sends me to heaven" is to be taken literally. As you would be willing to lay down your own life for them, and then to be in the presence of God.

    i don't know what was meant in this song by the writer....but for me its about"protecting our mother nature" really it suits well....when i see your smile tears roll down my face i can't replace(we can't replace her with technologies)....and now that I'm strong I have figured out (to protect it)
    how this world turns cold (means destroying her ) and it breaks through my soul ,and I know i'll find deep inside me, I can be the one.(to protect you)
    I will never let you fall (stop deforestation)
    I'll stand up with you forever
    I'll be there for you through it all,
    even if saving you sends me to heaven. It's ok. it's ok. it's ok.
    Seasons are changing and waves are crashing
    and stars are falling all for us (all things happen to maintain the ecological balance) days grow longer (for photosynthesis) and nights grow shorter
    I can show you I'll be the one. ................this way i get it and i love this song

    This is just about a guy who loves a girl who doesn't love him back, but still he'll do anything for her. "When I see your face, tears run don't my face I can't replace" - The girl is with someone else and he's hurt cause he can't be the one to make her happy. "And now that I'm stronger I've figured out how this world turns cold and breaks through my soul, and I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one"- Seeing her with another guy breaks him, but still he lives on hoping someday she'll like him back.

    " Use me as you will
    pull my strings just for a thrill"

    in my opinion.. means basically this guy loves this women ( or male. i dont judge) and is literally telling this person to do whatever they want with him he isnt going anywhere he isnt backing down. he loves this person with every fiber of his being and this is devotion to them. and by saying " i will never let you fall ill stand up with you forever" is in my opinion showing his everlasting support for this person. saying basically that no matter the path they choose he will be there to support them even if it means death. just my opinion

    My interpretation is that he has fallen in love with his best friend who is suicidal, and this song is him professing his love to her and trying to convince her to stay and not kill herself. Because she means more to him and he will be there for her through anything because he truly loves her. idk if anyone else interpreted it that way, but I truly think it's him trying to convince the girl he loves that she's not alone and that he will make everything okay because she is the most important thing to him. He has been with her through everything so far and has fallen in love with her. He doesn't want to lose her

    Basicallly this is about a guy telling his girlfriend or wife that he would do anything for her and that he will always protect her even if it kills him.

    This song is somewhat BS (So sad but I like it) for me, it turns a cold hearted person in his submissive form.

    My interpretation of this song as follows:

    1. He or She will be a Hero to that person whom he considered as special and important. Well, not just your typical hero, Knight in shining armor idea, but a Hero who's there for you when you least expect it, a hero who's willing to adapt or enter your circle just to be there for you and a hero that you could always rely own. "If you hire a sell sword you better watch your back, hire me and I'll watch it for you" -Kazandu Blademaster

    2. This song means that when all else fails, you have no regrets or whatsoever to be with the person you loved the most. Despite that he/she dumped you at the end, you're always be there for him/her no matter what. To lay down your very existence in order to see him/her safe. "Live for nothing and Die for something" -Forgot the movie where this is ^__^

    3. Finding a true love in the verge of Darkness. There's a saying that "Every person has it's own Angel to be with at the end." well, in this song, the person wrote it was inspired by that Angel of his. He wanted to create a Legacy that could immortalize the Love for his Angel.
    Just like Dante did when he immortalizes his True Love Beatrice.

    4. Lastly, this song could be associated by Bret Hart's quote "The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be". Because I also see in this song that the man (I could show you I'll be the one...) literally making a statement that he is the one for the person he loves the most. "Someday, someone will best me. But it won't be today, and it won't be you."

    i definitely agree that this song does not have to be a romantic relationship, its just telling someone how much they mean to you, and letting them know you would do anything for them.
