    “Fallen Angel” is written by TIX himself and is a synthpop ballad about unrequited love. It uses biblical imagery to convey the idea of a crush that one can never have because they believe they can’t match up. “How could she ever love someone like me? She’s out of reach”. He describes himself as the “fallen angel” and “there’s no way I’ll ever reach up to Heaven to you”.

    TIX uses more of the biblical metaphors to reference the anguish of the situation. “I’m fighting all of my demons tryna tear me apart and I’m still not sure what you ever saw in me”. He sees his crush as the true angel and he can never be with her. “Cause I know Heaven’s your home, that’s where angels belong”.

    He also believes that if he tried to be her partner, he’d just be holding her back in life. “And it won’t be fair if I keep you down here”. The lyricism is one of the strongest points of the song. The beautifully crafted metaphors keep the whole thing together, and with TIX’s strong voice and charisma, it’s easy to see why “Fallen Angel” won with the highest-ever gold final tally — around 380,000. That was nearly 100,000 more than KEiiNO.
