Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's the only one you have
You want to take away the pain
Go out walking in the rain
You watch the flowers go to bed
Ask the man inside your head
Your spirit never has to grieve
All you've got to do's believe
All you've got to do is feel
Your body's going to start to heal
The fingertips of holy fire,
Everlasting sweet desire
It never mattered
What the doctor said
The healer man will sail away
It's immortality for two,
Oh the miracles
They will come to you
From faith healer,the faith healer
Can I put my hands on you?
Can I put my hands on you?
Faith, and hope, and charity,
The simple relativity
He can make you understand
All you've got to take his hand
Remember somebody said
Ask the man inside your head
The fingertips of holy fire,
Everlasting sweet desire
The faith healer, the faith healer!
Can I put my hands on you?
Can I put my hands on you?
Let me put my hands on you?
Let me put my hands on you?
Can I put my hands on you?
Can I put my hands on you?
The faith healer, the faith healer...
The lyrics to Helloween's "Faith Healer" song are open to interpretation, but the overall message appears to be about belief and the power of faith in healing. The song suggests that if someone's body is feeling bad, they can find relief by taking a walk in the rain, communing with nature and asking the "man inside your head," who could be interpreted as a spiritual guide or part of one's conscience, for help. The lyrics depict the "Faith Healer" as a figure who has the power to heal through the touch of his hands and the power of faith.
The song seems to suggest that healing can occur through the power of belief and that one need not always depend on conventional medicine or the advice of doctors. The lyrics suggest that a person can be his or her own healer by enshrining faith in his or her life. The song calls upon listeners to have faith, hope and charity and to take the hand of the "Faith Healer," who has the power to heal and give "immortality for two."
