Rise and Fall
Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And be sure it's been his last hit, he's never been seen at all
Some dictator felt progressive and lay down in the sun
But his people were aggressive, well they killed him with a gun
Sometimes you're wrong by some things you have done
You see fate is too strong, nothing's won
No use for a fight if you're not acting right
It's the rise and fall, the prize for all
That's ain't nice at all, luck is like a ball
You can't recall or care at all
So better use your brain
A little dragon could spit fire but never so for something bad
He didn't know the knight's desire to throw a lance into his head
Romeo loved his Juliet but their parents told them stop
And then it all turned out peculiar he couldn't get it up
And it's all in vain when you're living with pain
Reap not goods you have grown by your own
Feelings your like, disappear over night
You sip up every grin free to win
It's the rise and fall, the prize for all
That's ain't nice at all, luck is like a ball
You can't recall or care at all
You nearly go insane
A spaceman files the rocket, well that takes him to the stars
Thinks his wife is in his pocket but she's strolling 'round in bars
The king of Los Angeles bought himself a teddy bear
And the queen became shameless, she did it with a chair
Sometimes you're wrong by some things you have done
You see fate is too strong, nothing's won
No use for a fight if you're not acting right
You'll be cut down to size like a live
It's the rise and fall, the prize for all
That's ain't nice at all, luck is like a ball
You can't recall or care at all
It's the rise and fall, the prize for all
Ain't nice at all, luck is like a ball
You can't recall or care at all
You better use your brain
So better use your brain
Rise, fall
The lyrics of Helloween's "Rise and Fall" depict the highs and lows of people's lives, regardless of their social status or the purpose they serve. The reference to a singer who once sang about meaningless topics and then disappeared from the spotlight illustrates how fickle fame can be, and how easily someone's career can fall apart. Also, the depiction of the dictator who felt progressive but was killed by his own people is a reminder of how power can compromise people's judgment and ultimately lead them to downfall.
Furthermore, the song's lyrics hint at the idea that sometimes things do not go our way and that we might have to face the consequences of our actions or life circumstances. The verse "No use for a fight if you're not acting right/ You'll be cut down to size like a live" shows how life can be unforgiving and it's necessary to be conscious of our choices and actions. The chorus which repeats "It's the rise and fall, the prize for all" shows that life is unpredictable and offers both rewards and failures.
The final verse depicts how the spaceman, who successfully launches a rocket, is unaware of his wife's whereabouts and the king and queen of Los Angeles' unconventional behavior. This, again, stresses the idea of unexpected events occurring, despite someone's capability and success.

By some things you have done
You see fate is too strong
Nothing's won

When you're living with pain
Reap not goods you have grown

Feelings you like
Disappear overnight
You sip up every grin
Free to win
It's the rise and fall
The prize for all
That ain't nice at all
Luck is like a ball
You can't recall or care at all
You nearly go insane
A spaceman flies the rocket
That takes him to the stars
Thinks his wife is in his pocket
But she's strolling around in bars
The king of Los Angeles
Bought himself a teddy bear
And the queen became shameless
She did it with a chair
