He then notices that they seem to be mirroring his movements, as if his body controls them. He suddenly charges towards the people that followed him, which causes them to run away.

General Comment I believe this song depicts the perilous effects of lust; how the persona is completely dangerously enraptured by a certain 'angel' with devious intentions. Eyes are normally indicative of a person's intentions, therefore, the line 'Her eyes, She's on the dark side' indicates her malciious intent.

I suppose 'Neutralize, Every man in sight' really means how every man is easily taken into her seduction. Destructive lust is the main theme here; the music doesn't say otherwise. General Comment If you watch the video which is excellent, the video is about fear and about facing and confronting fear. Fear does not exist it only comes from within. General Comment I've never really thought this song spoke anything about a girl or a desired woman or something like that.

I like to take this one literally. It speaks about Angels. Angels do exist. I've know lot of stories about that. I think the whole tension of the song is to show the unbelivable thing, that exists a being thats meant only to love and protect. It's scary but LightAndSound on August 16, Link. General Comment I think it's about a man who finds a woman so incredibly perfect that he thinks she has to be an angel, and she's so perfect for him that he goes as far as to think that she is HIS angel--he's obsessed with her.

Song Meaning I see it as a man from a more sheltered life who meets this girl who is beautiful and perfect to him but also from the "wrong side. Ultimately I think it's a love song. Her eyes. Every man in sight. To love you, love you, love you … You are my angel. To love you, love you, love you …. The promo video for Angel has Daddy G been chased by an angry mob and was filmed at an old car park in Paddington, London in June , even though it ultimately was never released to promote the single at the time.

For this reason the video would remain unseen for over three years where it would finally see the light of day on the Eleven Promos DVD release. An edited version of Angel is used for the video reducing the length of the video to nearly a minute shorter than the album version. This edit does not appear on any other release besides the video. Angel would be his last video he would direct for Massive Attack.

But looking back on it, its still a good piece of work.
