The Tune
Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes you hate the day
You feel there may be something
That intends to screw with fate
Take a look at what surround you
Each time you watch the news
Your mind gets set by someone's will
Love and desire, dry ice or fire
Don't you just want to flee their magic spell
No mercy for the nations two people are at war
Beliefs divide the dream they share of peace and harmony
Their eyes look up to heaven, address our god in prayers
Their souls exposed, they may decease by emperor's decree
Look, how they're crying
There's no denying
Now change the channel you're remote control
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear and you agree
We're all here for a reason
So we can't just hang around
There's so much left to see and learn
Make way for common ground
And those who head the wrong way
Will rate as minor class
As castaways they'll render fools
When the horsemen come to rule
Strike the last hour in their glass towers
Infinite lust has made the curtain fall
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear but you agree
You agree
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear but you agree
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who long to hear
And those freaks sense they're superior
We're hypnotised, you see
They wave and we agree
Helloween's song "The Tune" speaks of the constant noise and chaos that surrounds us, and how we are often caught in its trap. It starts off by stating that sometimes we feel that there is something that intends to screw with fate, and we are not sure what to do when we hate the day or when there is no tomorrow. The lyrics highlight the fact that we are often influenced by the news or someone's will to set our minds, and we become a template of something we can't choose. It speaks of the war and division that exists in the world, and how people pray for peace and harmony, yet are often exposed to the emperor's decree. The song speaks of how we are all here for a reason and how we should make way for common ground instead of heading in the wrong direction, resulting in being castaways rendered fools when the horsemen come to rule.

They wave and we agree
Those who want to listen to this tune, and those who believe they are superior freaks, are hypnotized in a trance. They dictate, and everyone follows suit.
