Social Distortion - Angel's Wings

You say you’re down on your luck

Hey baby It’s a long, long way up

Hold back now, hold back your fears

You say you’re really down and out

And you feel like there’s no way out now

Let go now let go of your tears some more

How many times have you asked yourself?

Is this the hand of fate now that I’ve been dealt?

You’re so disillusioned this can’t be real

And you can’t stand now the way you feel

I don’t care about what they say

I won’t live or die that way

Tired of figuring out things on my own

Angel’s wings won’t you carry me home?

Chorus:

And when you’re down on your luck

Hey baby It’s a long, long way up

Hold back now, hold back your fears

And when you’re really down and out

And you feel like there’s no way out now

Let go now, let go of your tears some more

Repeat Chorus

I triumphed in the face of adversity

And I became the man I never thought I’d be

And now my biggest challenge, a thing called love

I guess I’m not as tough as I thought I was

I don’t care about what they say

I wanna marry you some day

Gonna wake up, it’s a brand new day

Angel’s wings gonna carry you away

Angel’s wings gonna carry me away

Angel’s wings gonna carry us away

Gonna carry us away...

Analysis

The central point of the advert is a young, pale and naked woman, who is packaged like a piece of meat. The way she holds her arms and the way she looks remind you of her being trapped behind that package, she wants to escape from. The colours used in the advert are very uncomforting, as the background is held in black, the package in white and the woman has a pretty unhealthy and pale colour of skin. The slogan "If you pay a prostitute, you're financing human trading" is written - in comparison to the image - relatively small, which means that you will only really notice it if the advert has won your attention. This attention is achieved by two ways. The men will propably look at the advert, because it shows a naked woman, which is actually quite embarrassing. But as soon as the slogan is read, even men will or at least should think about it. Women's attraction is - of course - also won by the image of the woman, but mainly because she is packaged. They will surely think: "Oh, I wouldn't want that!"

Characterization - Create your own character

Nr.2 looks like an outsider. He appears rather fat, seems to be not the tallest guy, has got a babyface and an oldfashioned 80s haircut which fits his clothes quite well. He looks right through you, doesn't laugh at all and looks at the floor 90% of the day. The only mood he spreads is depression and the feeling of not belonging to the rest. One could think that he is a very calm person, talking slow and shy, never looking in one's eyes. Masses of people frighten him and self confident good looking men make fun of him, as the only friends he has are his world of warcraft compadres in the internet. He would like to be nr.6 but thinks that changing himself is useless, 'cause it wouldn't change anything at all. The work he does is creating Homepages for Online-Games. The money he gains for that is used for new games right away, as he lives at home where he doesn't have to pay. Although he is a very friendly and nice person, people don't accept him due to his lifestyle of hiding himself in the internet.
