Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know where else I have been
Where will I go? - I can't tell
Who would save us if we fell
Can you feel what I see?
In blind faith would you believe?
Don't share my point of view
But it may mean a lot to you
Tell me will we remember
How it used to be?
Will it be the same
In a time in the future?
Will there be a different way
Can one ever say?
Anthem for a distant world
We'll all be alike
Be there 'til eternity
One will see
When salvation comes our way
All my life I was sure
Kept my thoughts clean, real and pure
Just as I will always know
Were down here to learn and grow
I am my own entity
And the world is there for free
Keeps me alive 'til that day
When my soul will find the way
In another dimension
You may find paradise
We'll be safe and warm
I've been told there will be everyone
I held so close and near
There will be no fear
Anthem for a distant world
We'll be all alike
Be there 'til eternity
One will see
When salvation comes our way
Anthem for a distant world
We'll be all alike
Be there 'til eternity
One will see
When salvation comes
When salvation comes
When salvation comes our way
The lyrics of Helloween's "Salvation" speak of the human experience of being lost and searching for meaning in a world that can often feel cold and harsh. The singer is unsure of where they came from and where they will go, implying a sense of existential confusion and uncertainty. They also question who would save them if they were to fall, suggesting a deeper doubt about the presence of any truly benevolent forces in the world.
The second verse speaks to the idea of remembering the past and wondering if it will remain the same in the future. The uncertainty about the future is further emphasized by the question of whether there will be a different way, and whether anyone can say for sure. The idea of an "anthem for a distant world" suggests a longing for something more, something better, and a hope for a future where all are alike and there is no fear.
The final verse speaks to the human desire for individuality and the need to find one's own path in life. The idea that the world is there for free implies a sense of possibility and opportunity, but it is also clear that the singer is still waiting for that moment of salvation when their soul will find its way.
Overall, the lyrics of "Salvation" express a sense of longing, uncertainty, and hope for something better, but also an acknowledgement of the harsh realities and struggles of life.
