Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back to the wall
Don't close your eyes
And wait for your fall
If you believe that you know in this time
You've got anything to win
If you believe that you know
In this time there's nothing to get for you
You cannot really do what you want
You're a child, a prisoner in your mind
You are a victim of this hopeless time
You better believe all you do has a sense
It's not for nothing
You better believe all the troubles you have
Will play you someday
Why don't you help yourself and do the best
Put all the bombs back up their builders' ass
Why don't you stand up to say who you are
To show the people that paradise is not far
Oh, can't you see we got the right
To look into the future without no need to hide
No, we won't accept what you do
We stand up 'cause we're not the people you can abuse
Oh, can't you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can
We are credulous idiots
And won't understand what they plan
We march with the times
It's what they expect and we do
Why don't you open your eyes
To undercover all of these lies
I think you won't accept this
Go oppose with your fist
Fight for your rights
Oh, can't you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can
The lyrics to Helloween's song We Got the Right describe the feelings of powerlessness and frustration that many people feel in their lives. In the first verse, the singer implores the listener not to give up or succumb to their problems, but to fight on in whatever way they can. The second verse describes how the world may seem hopeless and cruel, but that we should still believe in the things that we do and the troubles we face.
The chorus is a rallying cry to those who feel misunderstood or threatened by society. The singer declares that they have the right to look into the future without fear and to stand up for themselves against those who would abuse or manipulate them. The bridge of the song encourages the listener to be aware of the lies and manipulation that are all around us and to take action against them.
Overall, the song can be seen as a call to arms for anyone who has felt marginalized or oppressed in their lives. The lyrics are empowering and remind us that we have the strength and the right to demand better for ourselves.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't turn your head
Don't ignore reality and pretend it doesn't exist
Back to the wall
Don't put yourself in a corner, feeling trapped and helpless
Don't close your eyes
Don't shut out the world and its problems
And wait for your fall
Don't just sit idly by and let bad things happen to you
If you believe that you know in this time
If you think you have all the answers right now
You've got anything to win
You think you can accomplish anything and face no obstacles
If you believe that you know
If you're convinced you have the correct solution
Then I say, "You'll lose all again"
You will face failure and disappointment once more
In this time there's nothing to get for you
There's no reward to be had at the moment
You cannot really do what you want
You're limited in your actions and options
You're a child, a prisoner in your mind
You're naive and trapped by your own fears and doubts
You are a victim of this hopeless time
You're suffering and oppressed by current circumstances
You better believe all you do has a sense
You have to believe that everything you do matters and has purpose
It's not for nothing
Your efforts and actions have value and meaning
You better believe all the troubles you have
You have to believe that the challenges you face aren't for nothing
Will play you someday
You will benefit from your struggles and learn from your mistakes
Why don't you help yourself and do the best
Why not do your part and give your all
Put all the bombs back up their builders' ass
Stop the destructive actions of those in power
Why don't you stand up to say who you are
Why not assert yourself and make your voice heard
To show the people that paradise is not far
To prove that a better world is within reach
Oh, can't you see we got the right
We have the freedom and entitlement to do what's right
To look into the future without no need to hide
We can face the future with courage and confidence
No, we won't accept what you do
We refuse to tolerate harmful or unjust actions
We stand up 'cause we're not the people you can abuse
We stand up for ourselves and refuse to be mistreated
To say we are here to see the light
We are here to seek truth and goodness
No, we don't wanna lose all again
We don't want to experience failure and suffering again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
Let's work together to make the world better for all
We are credulous idiots
We are foolish and easily fooled
And won't understand what they plan
We don't comprehend the harmful intentions of those in power
We march with the times
We blindly follow the trends and popular opinions
It's what they expect and we do
Those in power depend on us being easily swayed
Why don't you open your eyes
Why not look at the world objectively and critically
To uncover all of these lies
To reveal the deceitful acts of those in charge
I think you won't accept this
You may not be willing to believe this is happening
Go oppose with your fist
Stand up and take action against oppression and cruelty
Fight for your rights
Defend your freedom and autonomy
