i love this board
definitely about lindsey. i never questioned that.
Street angels aren't like any one you know
They do what they want
and the go where they go
mirrors
You're not like other people
you do what you want to
HOWEVER
i think the Dickensian references pertain to Mama.
and she's just talking about herself in the 3rd person
but she's talking like she's lindsey singing it
if Lindsey is the Street Angel...Stevie is the Dickens persona
this is my favorite stevie song in the whole stevie universe
i cant explain it
it's so sad, and dark.
and the fact that she wants to kill herself to end the so their relationship wouldn't be weird.
but then there's imagery of rainbows and children. which is a "happy" constrast to the morbid tone of the song. there's no more rainbows. there's no children. even though that's where he thought he'd sent her off to. but coz there's no "street angel" in her life...she doesnt want that life aaaaaaaaaaw man it's so sad and SOOOOOOOO good.
i dont know why people dont love this song
ive never thought about what it means til this thread
it's brilliant
ETA: alternatively this whole song could be about stevie. she is a gemini. hence the 2 "personas" in the song *so confused*
