Back On The Ground
Helloween Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can race over the mountains
Sail over the spheres
We can ride under the oceans
But we can't fight our fear

Something's wrong with the world today
Do you know what it is?

We believe to govern nature
Find ways to lengthen our life
And we go through digital stages
Still the children cry

Something's wrong with the world today
Do you know what it is?
The planet could be a better place
If we spot the miss

But I guess I would see a start
I will sing it loud
Won't you put your feet back on the ground?

We explore the existence of aliens
Try to conquer the space
We refine nuclear science
Still to die in the haze

Something's wrong with the world today
Do you know what it is?
The planet could be a better place
If we spot the miss

But I guess I would see a start
I will sing it loud
Won't you put your feet back on the ground?

Something's wrong with the world today
Do you know what it is?
The planet could be a better place
If we spot the miss

But I guess I would see a start
Take without doubt
Won't you put your feet back on the ground?
(Won't you put your feet back on the ground?)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Helloween's song "Back On the Ground" tell a story of the disconnect between humanity and the world we live in. We have accomplished great feats such as racing over mountains, sailing over spheres, and riding under oceans, but we have failed to fight our fear. Something is wrong with the world today, and the song urges the listener to try to understand what it is. Despite our efforts to innovate and govern nature, lengthen our life, and go through digital stages, we are still faced with children who cry.


The song suggests that we could make the planet a better place if we paid more attention to what is missing, and if we put our feet back on the ground. We explore the existence of aliens and try to conquer space, we refine our nuclear science, but still, we die in the haze. The lyrics ask us to take a step back and see the world as it is, to see the start of making it a better place, and to put our feet back on the ground.


In summary, "Back On the Ground" is a commentary on the state of humanity and the world we live in. It urges us to pay attention to what is missing, to put our feet back on the ground, and to work towards making the planet a better place. The song highlights the irony in how we as humans have accomplished great things, but we have failed to fight our fear and address what is missing.

@manuelgarciamunoz8072

Menudo temazo.

Helloween, (y particularmente este disco), me acompañaron, para bien y para mal, en una etapa bastante oscura, de mi vida.

Por suerte, ya quedó atrás, pero éste álbum me ayudó en el camino, me hizo sentir mucho menos sólo, menos....incomprendido.

Gracias Helloween.

@user-hh3yq3uz1d

Misma situación,este disco me ayudo mucho en una etapa difícil de la prepa. Saludos!!
