Pillar - Angel In Disguise Lyrics






Friday morning when she walked out the door
She couldn't take anymore and so she tried to ignore

Her daddy he wanted to settle the score
From all the little meetings they had had before

All the secrets started taking their toll
Making daddy more bold, but it was bruising her soul

He didn't know that she had already told
Her mother already knows and now the drama unfolds
As she says

My, you're my angel in disguise
You look at me with gentle eyes
My, you're my angel in disguise
You saved my from that one last cry

It's Friday evening and he's at it again
Another hour and then all the pressure begins

The phone keeps ringing so he finally gives in
To hear the voice of his wife asking where have you been

He tells her I'll be home as soon as I can
So tuck the kids into bed 'cause time has slipped through my hands

A pause and then she says she loves him again
Then it finally sets in that she's always been

It's Friday morning and she walked through the door
All of those thoughts from before she no longer ignored

She's finally home she set her bags on the floor
But her mother wasn't there to hold her hand anymore

She heard her daddy he was calling her name
She went back to his room but he wasn't the same

He said I'm sorry for the tears that you've cried
Will you ever forgive me she said I've already tried, as he said

  1. p.... h....

    Angel in disguise...makes me think of all hurt girls who are victims of bullying or rape victims...To understand symptoms of depression or phycotic issues are due to trauma as a child in such cases...Thank god for my lord and savior.

    p.... h....

    Same as well as domestic violence

  2. S.... f....

    my sister will be seperated from me for 3 more years. shes in texas. i cant take anymore

  3. S.... f....

    making a song called old birds, about letting go of the past

  4. T.... L....

    It's making me angry that I can't figure out the meaning of this song. I'm not sure if it's about abuse or rape. Either way, good song.

    T.... L....

    CognizantCheddar either way, this song made me pray. part of the reason i want to become a family lawyer. literally crying right now

    T.... L....

    I always heard the song as a father who cheats on his wife. The daughter knows about it. Keeps it a secret, the wife finds out, then leaves the husband.

    I never thought it could be about any thing else.

    T.... L....

    its about abuse of mother and daughter

    T.... L....

    I can see how the first and ladt verse could be connected but that middle verse confuses me on where hes at and what hes doing if it connected

    T.... L....

    "You're my angel in disguise" "you save me from that one last cry.
    I'm never right but for me it's about forgiveness.
    Someone who's been through all the song speaks on and yet still forgives? Could we do that? It's a beautiful song for me.
    Initially the daughter is the angel that keeps the mother going. She saves her from one last cry.
    The mother is the angel in disguise for the daughter aswell. She looks at her with gentle eyes.

    When she grows up, she goes to see the father. She goes to finally fix the past. She can't force herself to truly forgive him but that's the point.. she is trying even though she is still hurt by all the thoughts from before.

    As for the father.. Sometimes people need to see the beaten and broken down faces of those they love before they can change.

    I'm never right as I said, but this is a very beautiful song about love, forgiveness, redemption and overcoming hate. Not just for others, but for yourself too. Again, a very beautiful song.

  5. O.... M....

    perfect for relax

  6. M.... C....

    The funny thing is Rob wrote this song about my family.

  7. S.... A....

    the point of forgiving is not forgeting the past, but to overcome the past, is when you remember and it no longer hurts

    S.... A....

    Eh? Forgiveness is not contingent on remembrance that no longer hurts. Pain generally fades with time, regardless of whether or not we forgive.

    Could be I'm misunderstanding your point.

    S.... A....

    no, she does not have to forgive that. that man was a monster

  8. N.... P....

    M.... ....

    MsEscapefromReality

    Hang in there man. I had an angel.. but as all angels, they can't stay too long. I hope life has gotten better.. I hope mine does too.👍

  21. L.... ....

    @an00106 BUT the daughter was already grown up at the end

  22. z.... 1....

    @Hiincorparation yes it is. i messed it up due to faulty website's lyrical database.

  23. n.... ....

    um isnt it a pause and then at 2:31?

  24. J.... ....

    7 people don't have hearts

  25. I.... H....

    I listened to this song on repeat for hours one night and just cried. I was like 12.

  26. z.... ....

    @khauul33
    It is often easier to forgive than to forget, Im sure you could forgive him but, at the same time im sure that you will never forget it

  27. k.... ....

    I can relate to this song alot. The father was to protect her but, did not. My father was like the song and he did ask for forgiveness but, I could not. With everything he put me through it makes it really hard to forgive him. I tried but, in the end I can't bring myself to do it.

  28. J.... S....

    this song gives me chills...everytime i listen to it i just break down and let everything out,,, i love it its amazing <3

  29. l.... ....

    Everyone has a different opinion on what this song means, to me its saying a young girl is suffering the pain of her father never being there and her mom is always there but working at home. One day the girl gets home from school and her mother is not there to possibly just say welcome home because she left and her father calls the young daughters name. The dad asked for forgiveness ans she gave is to him making the girl the angel in disguise from the pain she goes through

  30. J.... K....

    @zachellis0
    Well some where around 2:30 he sings that he finaly picks up the phone..
    and hears the voice of his wife ..

    ....so i think she just left him.

  31. A.... ....

    i didn't think of it of sexual abuse before when i listened to it. But it was more than clear it was with some difficult conflicts in the family. How it started it seemed like the daughter was rather fed up with it and ran away from home. And when she came back her mom left. That is how i saw it (it kinda relates to what happened in my own family)

    A.... ....

    annedemonangel i will pray for you. no person should have to endure this💔

  32. 7.... ....

    I think that the song is about adultery and abuse/rape. I don't think it's about one or the other, I think it's about both.

  33. p.... ....

    @zachellis0 I always figured this song was about a cheating husband. Who has "meetings" with his daughter, trying to keep the affair a secret. The daughter tells the mom, making the daughter the angel in disguise for telling mom. Of course the father thinks only the daughter knows. Seems like the mom tries to give the dad a second chance when she calls her husband. Which end up driving mom away. Dad is upset and tries to apologize to his daughter in vein.

  34. n.... ....

    the meaning of the song can go both ways but i'm pretty sure it's about adultury

  35. K.... ....

    reminds me of my past :/

  36. e.... ....

    your my angel in disguise not my angel

  37. B.... A....

    love this song but its sad

  38. m.... t....

    this song reminds me of my ex-GF. she always had her dad in the way of me and her. she didnt want him to be and neither did her mom but he wouldnt listen to either of them. he blocked her off from all internet and phones, and when i finally got her number again she was with another guy. i mean really... the song really fits.

  48. j.... ....

    I read about it online in an interview with Pillar and theyt said she died. The daughter was coming home to take care of him.

  49. O.... K....
