“Dark Angel” is a soundtrack for the book “The Criminal Diaries” from the “Stronger Together” series, which I’m actively working on right now. Previously, I told you about seven soundtracks that were written especially for the lead characters. If you missed them, the songs are titled "I'm Not A Freak", "Not Ready To Grow Up", "Little Warrior", "The Girl With Broken Wings", "Selfish Prince", "Hero Inside The Beauty", and "Lion's Heart". And now, I’m publishing the song about the last character. By the way, I’m releasing it on the birthday of this girl.
So, let me say a couple of words about the character herself. Helene is the lead character of “The Criminal Diaries.” She first appears for the first time in “The Sins Of The Past” at a very young age, in the memories of Raquelle, the lead character of that book. Helene is mentioned once again in “The Broken Hearts Story,” and she shows up as a secondary character in “The Secrets Hidden In The Scars”. Starting with “The Lost And Forgotten Memories,” she becomes one of the lead characters. Well, co-lead characters, if you want. Helene is a kind, sweet, and beautiful girl, the shortest one among all the lead characters. At the beginning of the story, she rarely smiles and seems literally obsessed with taking care of her friend Peter, whom she is secretly in love with...
[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse]
She’s young, beautiful and smart
Humble, gentle, with a golden heart
Everyone sees she’s as loyal as a dog
Ready to help no matter what the cost
People have never caught her smile
Crying and suffering are her lifestyle
[Pre-Chorus]
She may really seem pure perfection
She may look like she needs protection
But you should not call this girl holy
You won’t be happy with her story
[Chorus]
The dark angel
With skeletons in her closet
With secrets hidden by her charm
Nobody knows she used to be toxic
Her reputation is about to be harmed
She swears she’s changed the course
And she will never open that door
[Post-Chorus]
The dark angel is afraid of revelation
She doesn’t want to make a confession
[Verse 2]
She’s young, beautiful and smart
Mean, insolent, with rot in her heart
Anyone could ask her to frame the loser
And terrify someone like a real monster
Someone is keeping her worst secrets
They can release all of her demons
[Pre-Chorus]
She may really seem pure perfection
She may look like she needs protection
But you should not call this girl holy
You won’t be happy with her story
[Chorus]
The dark angel
With skeletons in her closet
With secrets hidden by her charm
Nobody knows she used to be toxic
Her reputation is about to be harmed
She swears she’s changed the course
And she will never open that door
[Post-Chorus]
The dark angel is afraid of revelation
She doesn’t want to make a confession
[Bridge]
She has become much wiser
She is older, better and kinder
She has been healed by love
She is determined to prove
[Breakdown]
She is not…
[Chorus]
The dark angel (dark angel)
With skeletons in her closet
With secrets hidden by her charm
Nobody knows she used to be toxic
Her reputation is about to be harmed
She swears she’s changed the course
And she will never open that door
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh (dark angel)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (dark angel)
[Outro]
She’s not a dark angel
She’s not a dark angel
Notes:
...That's why Helene runs into gentle teasing and slight confusion from people who don’t understand her desire to care for someone who doesn’t obviously want it. She did not used to be so kind and fluffy. She committed many actions that she still regrets a lot. And the other lead characters only know a part of them, without suspecting that Helene is hiding much more and is too afraid to confess it out of fear of being judged, insisting that it’s all in the past, she has changed, she is different now, and she realized her mistakes. But as we know, the moment of having to reveal all the truth will come early or late, even if she risks ruining her relationship with her beloved man, who is terribly afraid of being betrayed again after it already happened to him a long time ago.
By the way, in the earliest versions of the series, this character did not even exist, and her appearance was never planned. And the reason why I decided to add her was my desire not to leave Peter, the lead character of “The Criminal Diaries,” without a partner. Originally, he was supposed to be the only one who did not have a relationship by the end of the story. But at some moment, I felt sorry for the guy and decided to make him happy by creating him a girlfriend. By the way, does the name of Helene Marshall not remind you of anything?
