Sell Your Soul
► Hollywood Undead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm holding on so tightly now,
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?
It was a bad dream?
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hollywood Undead's song Sell Your Soul are about a struggle with internal demons and external pressures. The first verse describes the singer's feeling of suffocation as they deal with people relentlessly watching and judging them. They wonder how they ended up in such a situation, as if they are drowning without any control. The chorus expresses a sense of hopelessness and frustration, as if they are screaming into space with no one listening. The second verse continues the theme of suffocation, but also includes a sense of self-hatred and confusion. They feel sick of themselves and what they have become, but they can't seem to break free of the cycle. The final verse portrays a more violent and destructive scene, as the singer compares their state of being to a lynch mob. They feel like they are being forced to pay for something they didn't do and are being drained by others' needs. The lyrics overall convey a sense of being trapped, trying to scream but feeling powerless to change their situation.

No time for goodbye he said
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
Their bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
'Cause they'II find you, Burn you
Then he said

If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life

This is my last time she said
As she faded away
It's hard to imagine
But one day you'II end up like me
Then she said

If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive( If you want to get out alive)
Run for your life (life)
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Run for your life

If I stay it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go I can only hope
That I make it to the Other side
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Run for

If you want to get out alive ( if you want to get out alive)
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive ( if you want to get out alive)
Run for

If I stay, it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go I can only hope
That I make it to the other side
If I stay, it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go, and if I go

Burning on the inside
Burning on the inside
Burning on the inside

What I loved about this show is that I was never able to tell if they would actually kill off some of the characters, It's definitely one of my favorites now.

Beautiful amv. Not the usual style I've come to be acustomed with, this is a bit les transitional and more cinematic, but it suits the case.

@kristianhalbavy5254

This song is perfect to this anime

@wyattguilliams9472

I remember when I first started watching the anime I liked how it mixed the happy, sad, and f***ed up moments in the first three episodes

Then I accidentally skipped ahead a few episodes where Akame's sister made her reveal and I immediately liked that girl who could disguise herself as anyone and genuinely wanted to see more of her but then came the end of the episode with her head on a pike and I thought "well ... Shit ... I don't like this anime anymore if it's just going to introduce interesting characters make you love them and then force you to watch them die"

@hatelove9837

But thats fun to watch
