Sell Your Soul
►Hollywood Undead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My insides scream so loud
They keep watching,
Watching me drowned,
How did it come to this
How did it come to this?
How did I know it was you?
Asphyxiated and watch me bleed
The life support was cut,
The knot was too tight,
They push and pull me but
They know they'll never win
Throw it all away throw it all away
I keep on screaming but
There's really nothing left to say
So get away, just get away
I keep on fighting but
I can't keep going on this way
I can't keep going,
Can't keep going on like this,
They make me sick,
And I get so sick of it,
Cause they won't let me,
They won't let me breath,
Why can't they let me be?
Why can't they let me be?
Why don't I know what I am?
I force this hate into my heart
Cause it's my only friend,
My lips are sewn shut,
I watch my self bleed,
They push and pull me
And it's killing me within
Throw it all away throw it all away
I keep on screaming but
There's really nothing left to say
So get away, just get away
I keep on fighting but
I can't keep going on this way
I can't keep going,
Can't keep going on this way
I can't keep going,
Can't keep going on this way
My heart beat stumbles and
My back bone crumbles
I feel is it real as
The lynch mob doubles?
They want blood and they'll kill for it,
Drain me and they'll kneel for it
Burn me at the stake met
The devil made the deal for it.
Guillotine dreams, yeah,
They're guillotine gleams,
The blood of they're enemies
Watching while they sense me.
Sentencing ceased, sentence
Diseased and watch them bask
In the glory of their holy disease
Throw it all away throw it all away
I keep on screaming but
There's really nothing left to say
So get away, just get away
I keep on fighting but
I can't keep going on this way
I keep on running,
I keep on running
I keep on running
But I can't keep
Going on this way
I keep on running
I keep on running
But I can't keep
Going on this way
The lyrics of Hollywood Undead's "Sell Your Soul" depict a struggle with inner demons and external pressures driving the singer towards madness and desperation. The song opens with the singer holding on "tight" to their sanity, but feeling their "insides scream so loud," perhaps hinting at a mental illness or overwhelming emotional pain. They feel constantly "watched" and "drowned" by their surroundings, wondering how they ended up in this terrible place. The chorus expresses the singer's desperation, screaming out for something to change, but feeling powerless to do anything.
The second verse adds another layer to the singer's turmoil, as they struggle to understand their own identity and motivations. They "force this hate" into their heart because it's the only thing that feels real, and their sense of self is so distorted that they don't know what they are. They feel trapped and suffocated, with their "lips sewn shut" and an unrelenting pressure pushing them towards their breaking point. The bridge offers a brief moment of respite, with the singer questioning whether what they're feeling is even real, but quickly devolves into a frenzied burst of violent imagery and a final plea for release.
Overall, "Sell Your Soul" offers a bleak but tantalizing glimpse into the psyche of someone on the brink of collapse, consumed by their own pain and the unyielding forces around them.

lyrics:
I am a nation, I am a million faces
Formed together, made for elevation
I am a soldier, I won't surrender
Faith is like a fire that never burns to embers
(Who's gonna stand up, who's gonna fight?)
The voice of the unheard
(Who's gonna break these chains and lies?)
Love is the answer
I gotta speak it, believe it, that's how I feel inside
I, I, can't, can't sit here quiet
You can take my heart, you can take my breath
When you pry it from my cold, dead chest
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
Hey can you hear me? Hey, are you listening?
Sleeping in the shadows, could be making history
Walk through the fire, walk on the water
Used to be a slave, but now you are a conqueror
They can take my heart, they can take my breath
When they pry it from my cold, dead chest
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
Up, up, up, up, up
We're rising up, up, up, up, up
The voice of the unheard
Rising up, up, up, up, up
We're rising up, up, up, up, up
Love is the answer
Rising up, up, up, up, up
We're rising up, up, up, up, up
Love is the answer
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us
This is how we rise up
Heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train
This is how we rise up
Heart is beating faster, feels like thunder
Magic, static, call me a fanatic
It's our world, they can never have it
This is how we rise up
It's our resistance, you can't resist us

We are not put on this earth to be remembered.
We are here to prepare for Eternity!
The truth is Heaven or hell after physical death.
(...)
3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
5 He will receive blessing from the Lord
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
(...)
A Psalm of David. (24)
Seek the Truth while you are on this dimension!!!
