The title of this song likely refers to a line from “Duino Elegies” by Rainer Maria Rilke. The poem represents Rilke’s contemplation of the immaterial world, heavenly creatures and the unknown.
Rilke contrasts these concepts with the human condition, which he sees as poor and limited to what humans experience in their material existence.
Considering the beauty of angels, Rilke concludes that humans would be terrified if they came into contact with such beings whose beauty is beyond imagination.
Abel uses this interpretation of heavenly beings to describe the overall themes of the album and a fictional movie titled “After Life.” It also contains an spoken interlude by the director Josh Safdie who worked with The Weeknd on “Uncut Gems” alongside movie star Adam Sandler and Oneothrix Point Never, the producer of this album.
Lyrics of Every Angle Is Terrifying
Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels' order?
Even if they pressed me against their heart, I'd be consumed
For beauty is the terror we endure, while we stand and wonder, we're annihilated
Every angel is terrifying
Intense, graphic, sexy, euphoric, provocative, edgy, thought-provoking
Technically and visually stunning
A compelling work of sciencе fiction
A suspenseful exposé
