Lost in America
Helloween Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are stranded in Belize
Ten hours we must wait
They started with a flight show
So the airport opens late
Nobody really told us
Nobody seems to know
Now we're sitting here all drinking
We hope to catch the show

Finally they make the call
We toddle to the boarding
In the plane we're drunk and loud
When the captain gives a shout

We are high
We are far
But we wonder where we are
We are lost
Lost in America
There's a cloud
There's a star
We should plunder the sky bar
We are lost
Lost in America

Now the captain says the gauges
Don't really seem to be
In the best trustworthy status
As far as he could see
Some ridiculous disturbance
Or a simple full breakdown
Makes it hopeless to impossible
To measure where we're bound for

Finally they make the call
We toddle to the boarding
In the plane we're drunk and loud
When the captain gives a shout

We are high
We are far
But we wonder where we are
We are lost
Lost in America
There's a cloud
There's a star
We should plunder the sky bar
We are lost
Lost in America

We are high
We are far
But we wonder where we are
We are lost
Lost in America
There's a cloud
There's a star
We should plunder the sky bar
We are lost
Lost in America

We are high
We are far
But we wonder where we are




We are lost
Lost in America

Overall Meaning

The song "Lost in America" by Helloween tells the story of a group of people who are stranded in Belize due to a flight delay. They are waiting for ten hours and nobody seems to know what is happening. Eventually, they are called to board the plane but things take a turn for the worse when the captain announces that the gauges do not seem trustworthy, and they cannot tell where they are heading. This leads to the passengers feeling lost and uncertain about their destination.


This song can be interpreted in different ways. One interpretation is that it talks about the feeling of being lost in life and not knowing where you are headed. Another interpretation is that it is a critique of the American culture, suggesting that it is easy to get lost in it due to all its distractions and uncertainties.


Overall, "Lost in America" is a great song that combines powerful vocals, melodic guitar riffs, and a catchy chorus that will stick in your head for days. It is a testament to Helloween's musical ability and creativity, and it is a great addition to their impressive discography.
