Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Burning my head
So many memories
No tear so shed
Burns like a fire
Who stole my aims?
My comrade fighters
Been sent astray
How could I know
What others had in mind for me?
How would they know
What measures I take?
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert sing your feelings out
Your song remains unheard
Sole survivor
We shared like brothers
A light in the black
Totally blended
Bold and erect
But we've grown intriguers
Till it's too late
Time has brought fire
Fear, greed and hate
Now I'm cryin'
Shattered on the ground
All I find
Has died anyway
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert sing your feelings out
Your song remains unheard
Sole survivor
Got a voice without a sound
Mean mistreaters
Took away your ground
Sole survivor
[SOLO]
Sole survivor...
The lyrics to "Soul Survivor" by Helloween talks about the feeling of being left alone after a traumatic experience. The singer of the song is suffering from a fever that is burning his head, and he has many memories that he can't seem to shake off. He feels betrayed by his comrades who have gone astray, leaving him as the sole survivor of a violent altercation. He wonders how he could have known what others had in mind for him and how they could not have understood the measures he had to take to survive. The singer is now crying and shattered on the ground, surrounded by death, betrayal, fear, greed, and hate.
The song speaks to the emotions that come with being the only one left after a terrible event, and the feeling of being unheard and alone. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has dealt with so much pain and trauma that they have lost touch with reality. The singer is a "sole survivor" who is screaming out his feelings to an unknown audience, but his song remains unheard. The song is a reflection on the power and strength that comes from being the only one left standing, but also the immense sadness and pain that comes with it.

Previously, I felt deeply connected with these comrades as if we were like family, strong and unyielding.

Till it's too late
Time has brought fire
Fear, greed and hate
However, over time, we have become suspicious or devious towards each other, and now it's too late to fix it. This may be due to external forces like anger or greed.
Now I'm cryin'
Shattered on the ground
All I find
Has died anyway
Despite my attempt to hold back tears and appear strong, I am now crying and feel completely broken. It seems like everything we worked for has failed and is now gone.
Sole survivor

Mean mistreaters
Took away your ground

Again, I feel alone and voiceless in my suffering. I feel like others have mistreated me and taken away my sense of safety or belonging.
