Hellraiser
Doro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With hearts of stone
Cursin' the stars in the sky
The painted face
Has lost its place
Beneath the wheel
No pain can heal
The spirit must learn how to fly
Across the clouds
Strong and proud
So rise up - forget about the stories you tell
Rise up - and let me hear your renegade heart yell
Oh, oh, oh, oh Rock on Hellraiser
Oh, oh, oh, oh Raze it Hellraiser
Stand or fall
Don't we all
Searchin' for ways to survive
We're sweatin' blood
To keep alive
And if you feel
What I feel
Then we will learn how to fight
For what is real
And what is right
So rise up - forget about the stories you tell
Rise up - and let me hear your renegade heart yell
Oh, oh, oh, oh Rock on Hellraiser
Oh, oh, oh, oh Raze it Hellraiser
So rise up - forget about the stories you tell
Rise up - and let me hear your renegade heart yell
Oh, oh, oh, oh Rock on Hellraiser
Oh, oh, oh, oh Raze it Hellraiser
Oh, oh, oh, oh Rock on Hellraiser
Oh, oh, oh, oh Raze it Hellraiser
Oh, oh, oh, oh Rock on Hellraiser
Oh, oh, oh, oh Raze it Hellraiser
Oh, oh, oh, oh Rock on Hellraiser
Oh, oh, oh, oh Raze it Hellraiser...
The lyrics to Doro's song "Hellraiser" describe a group of people who are figuratively "cursing the stars in the sky," frustrated by their lives and circumstances. They are described as having "hearts of stone" and being "beneath the wheel," indicating that they are struggling and trapped. The lyrics then encourage the listener to rise up and forget the stories they tell about themselves, to let their "renegade heart" yell and fight for what is real and right. The chorus repeats the phrase "Rock on Hellraiser" and "Raze it Hellraiser," which can be interpreted as a call to action to rise up and overcome their struggles.
The song is empowering and encourages the listener to find strength within themselves to fight against whatever struggles they may be facing. The lyrics suggest that everyone is going through their own battles, and that it is important to stand up for what is right.
Line by Line Meaning
Flesh and bones
Referring to our bodies
With hearts of stone
Despite our bodies, our hearts are hardened
Cursin' the stars in the sky
Angry at the universe
The painted face
Putting on a fake image
Has lost its place
But that image no longer fits
Beneath the wheel
Being crushed by something
No pain can heal
The pain is too intense
The spirit must learn how to fly
One's spirit must overcome the pain
Across the clouds
Ascending to a better place
Strong and proud
Feeling confident in one's ability to overcome
So rise up - forget about the stories you tell
Get up and take control, without being weighed down by past narratives
Rise up - and let me hear your renegade heart yell
Take control and bring out your true, rebellious spirit
Stand or fall
We can either succeed or fail
Don't we all
Everyone faces this choice
Searchin' for ways to survive
Trying to find a way to get through difficult times
We're sweatin' blood
Putting in a lot of effort
To keep alive
In order to stay afloat
And if you feel
If you relate to this struggle
What I feel
The same overwhelming emotion
Then we will learn how to fight
We can learn to overcome it together
For what is real
For our true desires and passions
And what is right
For what is morally just
Oh, oh, oh, oh Rock on Hellraiser
Celebrate your rebellious nature
Oh, oh, oh, oh Raze it Hellraiser
Destroy any obstacle in your way
