Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Painting all things black and step on your feet
Flabby stomach, styled hair, trousers full of air
Their morality is real ours isn't there
They don't know, no they can't see
Our hearts close to the sun
Different in our hearts filled with
They just call us savage
That's what I like to be
Let them call us savage
Cause that's what we like to be
See the people wonder we run in our direction
Let the narrow-minded sleep we better do some action
Across the universe you smell the smell of lies
I'm trying to be the winner not the sacrifice
They don't know, no they can't see
Our hearts close to the sun
Different in our hearts filled with
That faith we carry on
They just call us savage
That's what I like to be
Let them call us savage
Cause that's what we like to be
See them run they know no fun
And look what they have done
In this world full of rules
We look just like fools
I know what they think when I see them lookin' at me
(Savage)
We come close every day to the time table life
So mart they start their backwards fight
I know what they think when I see them lookin' at me
(Savage)
One day they will drop the bomb
Cause it's necessary to show the power
One day they will give a shit on what you say
They don't know, no they can't see
Our hearts close to the sun
Different in our hearts filled with
That faith we carry on
They just call us savage
That's what I like to be
Let them call us savage
Cause that's what we like to be
The lyrics of Helloween's song "Savage" convey a strong sense of individuality and rebellion against societal norms. The first verse describes how the singer is judged and attacked for their appearance and morality by people who are narrow-minded and lacking in understanding. The chorus then boldly declares the band's affinity for being called "savage," a term that has traditionally been used as an insult, but in this case seems to represent an embrace of nonconformity and independence.
The second verse continues the theme of rebelling against societal expectations, suggesting that those who conform to societal rules and expectations are "narrow-minded" and "sacrificing" their true selves. The bridge of the song adds to this feeling of rebellion and defiance, with the singer brushing off the judgments of others and insisting that they will not be influenced by the narrow-mindedness of those around them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Savage" inspire a sense of empowerment and individual freedom. By rejecting societal norms and insisting on the importance of following one's own heart, the song serves as an anthem for those who refuse to be constrained by the expectations of others.

(Savage)
Our identity as 'savage' does not bother us
We come close every day to the time table life
We live in a structured society, but try to break away from it
So mart they start their backwards fight
Their narrow-mindedness causes them to oppose progressive change
One day they will drop the bomb
Their aggression and lack of understanding could lead to catastrophic consequences
Cause it's necessary to show the power
They may resort to violence in order to maintain control
One day they will give a shit on what you say
Eventually, their opinions will not matter to us
