The love interest in Gareth Emery’s song, Concrete Angel, is determined to hide herself behind a tall self-made brick wall. It seems it’s hard for her to be herself with the person she’s seeing. I get the impression she’s either been hurt badly by a former lover or for some reason has come to believe she has little to offer the world. She has fine-tuned the art of deflection and allows no one to see the essence of who she really is.
The singer, Christina Novelli, says: If you keep building these walls, brick by brick towers so tall, soon I won’t see you at all, until the concrete angel falls.
It’s sad when you feel you have to hide the real you. Oh, I know there are plenty of people who would misuse what they learn about you, but isn’t being vulnerable worth the risk of connecting with someone who really cares?
Be yourself.
Tear down the brick tower. There is someone out there who wants to know who you really are!
