Don't Stop Being Crazy
Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the one I would wish for as the friend of my life
If the whole world decided for a colour
Would pixels be any different in you
Brave and smart against the rules
You smile upon the fools
I follow where you go
Don't stop being crazy
Wherever you go
Don't stop being crazy
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie we could not learn to fly
Oh no
Don't stop being crazy
When you walk you walk higher than the others
When you talk you talk merciless the bothering truth
Everybody seems remote-controlled nowadays
Only you have a frequency far beyond their ways
Still and strong you walk alone
Don't wonder where they're gone
I'll follow where you go
I want you to know
Don't stop being crazy
Wherever you go
Don't stop being crazy
It's a lie
It's a lie
It's a lie we could not learn to fly
Oh no
Don't stop being crazy
In "Don't Stop Being Crazy," Helloween lauds the virtues of being unapologetically different and independent. The song is an ode to individuals who dare to think and act differently in a world where conformity is the norm. The lyrics celebrate these non-conformists for their bravery, intelligence, and willingness to be themselves, even if it means going against the grain.
The opening lines, "You're the one I would pick out in a million, You're the one I would wish for as the friend of my life," are a testimony to the uniqueness of the individual being celebrated. The lines that follow, "If the whole world decided for a colour, would pixels be any different in you," suggest that no matter what the world throws at this person, they remain unaltered, like pixels that retain their distinct character regardless of the colour they display.
The chorus, "Don't stop being crazy, wherever you go, It's a lie we could not learn to fly," reiterates the importance of staying true to oneself, of not letting others' opinions or societal norms dictate one's path. The line about "learn to fly" suggests that, by not being crazy, one is grounded, incapable of reaching new heights or achieving dreams.
Overall, "Don't Stop Being Crazy" is a song that exalts individuality and independence, urging people not to succumb to societal pressure but to stay true to themselves, no matter how crazy that might seem.
