Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of your dreams
You'll never find out
What it all means
But you've got patience
And still believe
That you'll be there
When she will leave
Someone will lose
Somebody's finding
Somebody smiles
Somebody's crying
Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
You can't fight your dreams, yeah
You can't fight your desire
Hold on to your dreams, yeah
So listen hard now
Man you should know
If you're just waiting
Your doubts will grow
You self-believe
Already small
Get up now
You can have it all
Someone will lose
Somebody's finding
Somebody smiles
Somebody's crying
Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
You can't fight your dreams, yeah
Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
Hold on to your dreams, yeah
Someone will lose
Somebody's finding
Somebody smiles
Somebody's crying
Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
You can't fight your dreams, yeah
The lyrics of Helloween's "Can't Fight Your Desire" speak of a woman who has captured the heart of two men. The first man, who is singing the song, is aware that another man has won the heart of the woman he desires. However, he still believes that he can win her over eventually. The chorus reinforces the idea that desires and dreams cannot be fought and one must hold on to them.
The song explores feelings of desire, jealousy, and hope. The first verse, "He's got the woman out of your dreams, You'll never find out what it all means, But you've got patience and still believe, That you'll be there when she will leave," describes the realization that the woman he desires is with someone else. In the second verse, the singer advises himself (or perhaps someone else) to stop waiting and chasing after his dreams and instead take action to achieve them. The song emphasizes the importance of pursuing one's desires and dreams without fear of failure.
Overall, the song conveys a message of persistence and determination. It suggests that even though someone else may be temporarily ahead in the game of love, someone else will come out as a winner in the end. The song is a reminder to hold on to one's dreams and desires, no matter the obstacles that may be faced.
