Song Meaning of “Engel” by Doro
Engel is a hauntingly beautiful ballad by German heavy metal singer and songwriter, Doro. At its heart, it’s about a woman who has lost her soul mate and is struggling to come to terms with their death. The song poignantly talks of the difficulty in letting go of a departed loved one and the loneliness that comes with the end of a dream.
The verses of the song describe the pain and sorrow of the narrator as she walks through life without her beloved “Engel”, a German term for “angel” or “soulmate”. The beautiful imagery of the lyrics paints a vivid picture of the lost love and how it has left the narrator completely broken, searching for answers in the darkness of the night.
The chorus echoes with the narrator’s hope of reuniting with her gone “Engel” one day in a heavenly paradise. She yearns for the day when the darkness will be replaced with the light of her lost love.
Engel is a tribute to all those who have lost their beloved and is a reminder that even though love may come with pain and loss, it always lives on through our memories and in our hearts.
