Hellraiser
C.L.G.S.E. Lyrics

The lyrics of C.L.G.S.E.'s "Hellraiser" describe a sinister celebration of evil that the singer is eager to participate in. The opening lines express the singer's frustration with the monotony of time, as represented by the ticking of a clock, and their desire to escape it by attending the Hell Raisers' Ball. The ball is described as an "evil celebration" that requires no invitation and definitely not one to be missed; in fact, the singer suggests that the listener's name is already on the death list, implying a sense of inescapable fate or destiny.

The second verse describes the invitation to the ball as a "black metal postcard from the edge of time," and while the listener's name may have been misspelled, they do not seem to mind. The vivid imagery of "all kinds of demons" and dancing naked in the moonlight emphasizes the dark, supernatural atmosphere of the ball. By repeating the invitation to "come down to the hell raisers' ball" and declaring that they are "getting down," the singer creates a sense of urgency and excitement that invites the listener to join them in this macabre celebration.

Overall, the lyrics of "Hellraiser" paint a picture of a nightmarish gathering of dark forces, but the singer's eagerness to participate suggests that they find the idea of embracing evil fascinating, if not alluring. Whether interpreted as a metaphor for the attraction of the taboo, or as a literal ode to demonic revelry, the song presents a striking image that may leave listeners intrigued, disturbed, or both.
