About this song
Broken Angel

What “Broken Angel” means
This song is a straightforward plea from someone who feels heartbroken, abandoned, and emotionally dependent on the person they love. The English chorus repeatedly says they are "so lonely" and begs the loved one to "listen to my heart" and "save me before I fall apart," which gives the song a desperate, vulnerable tone. The Persian lines reinforce the same message: the singer says they love the other person, cannot cope without them, and want them to come back. Overall, it is a simple breakup-or-separation song about longing, devotion, and emotional collapse.
