Hellraiser
Doro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Flesh and bones

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...

Overall Meaning

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
