"If he gets what he wants, he still might not be satisfied." This line just adds to all the conflict that's going on in his head during his depression.

Or the line could be referring to the conflict in his head after he lost her to excuse himself from what happened and to try to get over her. Something happened and he tried to cope with it by convincing himself that he merely wanted her, not that he NEEDED her. "Said I want her, just don't need her." This line could be referring to a part of how it ended with the girl. He used to "have her." Now he can only say he "had her."

The second verse tells of the conflict that's going on in his head All he wants is someone, the girl, to come to him to share his life with (. questioning/fighting with himself (talking to the ears of no one). The first verse introduces his depression which includes being angry, lonely, sad. The chorus refers to suicide the dark angel tempts him to commit suicide (the dark angel comes to darken his night) to relieve him of all of his suffering/depression about the girl (she wiped away the years he cried).īut he's conflicted about whether suicide is the right thing or not or whether to go forward with it or not (which way does this angel stride?). *the dark angel is not this girlĪ dark angel or fallen angel in Abrahamic religions (which is appropriate for Rastafarians) is an angel that had been cast away from heaven and tempts people to sin. I think a more accurate interpretation would be that this song is about going through depression about a girl he's lost.
