When the Sinner
Helloween Lyrics

Now it's time, to shake it all up to be free
It's time for a change, to break free from old habits and routines.

Now it's time, to make us some room to let us be
It's time to give ourselves space and freedom to be who we truly are.

Oh, it feels so bad
Feeling lost and directionless is a difficult experience.

Yes it feels so bad
Feeling disconnected from what is right can be painful.

When everything good looks so bad
Even things that should be enjoyable or uplifting can lose their appeal when in a negative headspace.

When everything right goes so wrong
When everything seems to fall apart despite trying to do what is considered right or good, it can be disheartening.

I am up, to break it all down what's in my way
I am ready to tackle whatever obstacles stand in the way of my goals and aspirations.

I won't stop, until I am where I'm going to stay
I have an unwavering determination to reach my desired destination, regardless of setbacks or challenges.

No one holds me back
I am free to make my own choices and move forward.

No, no one holds me back
I refuse to let anyone else control or limit my potential.

Don't want to be what I'm not
I refuse to conform to someone else's expectations or standards for my life.

But it's gotta be myself who breaks my neck
No one else is responsible for my successes or failures in life, ultimately it is up to me to make my own destiny.

I here and you look there, I know it's got to be somewhere
We are all searching for something that feels just out of reach, but we know it exists.

We look around and search around and walk around and hear around
We try every method of searching for what we desire, hoping to stumble upon it in some way.

We keep on looking 'til we know what for
Even when we are unsure of what we are looking for, we continue to search.

If you don't know it, I don't know it, we don't know it, who will know it?
If the people who are searching for answers do not have those answers themselves, who else can we rely on to provide them?

All of us don't know what we should know, maybe one day we'll know
Despite the uncertainty and confusion surrounding our quest for answers, we hold on to hope that one day we will find what we seek.

But anyway we've got to make a stop
Regardless of whether or not we have found what we seek, we must take a break to rest and recharge.

Over my head, look over my head you won't see no halo
I am not a perfect person and have made mistakes in the past. I do not come across as some sort of saint.

It's driving me mad, I must hold it back inside
The knowledge and guilt of my past actions and failures is overwhelming, but I must keep it all under control.

When the sinner searches sin, it's all of us
Everyone has moments of failure or regret, so no one person should ever feel alone or isolated in that regard.

When we finally search inside, it's under us
When we finally confront our own inner struggles and past mistakes, it can be a difficult and uncomfortable experience to face.

We keep on looking anyway
Despite the pain of looking inward and confronting our mistakes, we know it is an important journey to embark on.

If we don't find it who must pay?
If we never confront our mistakes or try to address them, the weight of them will continue to be carried and perpetuated in our lives.

All I've ever done I've done to you!
All of our actions and choices ultimately have an impact on those around us, whether positive or negative.

In my mind, the battle goes on 'til I give up
The inner struggle between what is right and wrong continues within me, and will do so until I lose the willpower to fight for what is right.

Will we find, the key of life we once have dropped?
We have all experienced moments where we have lost a sense of purpose or direction in life, but we continue to search for that once-attainable key.

Do you really care?
Others' perspectives and concern for our well-being can be a source of comfort when we are feeling lost and uncertain.

Tell me you really care!
In the midst of a difficult journey, hearing that others care about us can keep us motivated and driven.

You may find Mr. Blame
It is easy to lay the blame for our struggles and setbacks on others, but ultimately we must face and address our own shortcomings.

But the guilt of life burns everywhere
Feeling guilty over our past mistakes and failures can become all-encompassing and make our walk through life more challenging.

Give me light to see my inside, give me light to see my sin
We must confront our past mistakes and failures to continue growing and moving forward in life.

I'd never do what I regret, I've never done anything bad
While we may try our best to live a life free of mistakes and regrets, we must acknowledge that we are human and will falter at times.

You must be joking when you point at me!
When others accuse us of wrongdoing or mistakes we did not make, it can be frustrating and even laughable.

Hey! Don't you blame me! Don't you touch me!
When others attempt to blame us for their problems or hold us responsible for things we did not do, it can become exasperating and even infuriating.

Won't you ever leave me be?
When we are constantly hounded by accusations or unjust blame, it can be difficult to maintain a sense of peace and tranquility.

I want to live! Don't want to think! Why should I give what I can drink?
Sometimes we want to escape our problems and numb our minds, but this can only result in further complications and struggles down the road.

Man! Life is short so I take what I need!
While it can be tempting to prioritize immediate wants over long-term needs, this can ultimately lead to greater struggles and complexities in life.

Pain!
The emotional and mental torment we may face during our journey through life can be intense and all-consuming.

I feel inside it's such a
These feelings of pain and hardship can be all-encompassing and feel inescapable.

Shame!
Past mistakes and failures can be a source of immense guilt and shame on a deep level.

No one fights fair, but who' to
Life is not a fair and just playing field, and it can be difficult to know who to blame for the injustices we may face.

Blame!
We may try to shift the blame of our mistakes or failures onto others, but ultimately it is up to us to take responsibility and address our own shortcomings.

Might be the game of life but it ain't' over
Despite the challenges and struggles, life continues to play out and offer opportunities for growth and change.

Now!
The present moment is all we have, and it is up to us to live it to the fullest.

I walk my way firm any
I am determined to stay the course and not be swayed by detractors and naysayers.

How!
I have the inner fortitude and strength to forge ahead and overcome any obstacle.

My conscience speaks and there are
Even amidst the challenges and struggles, our inner conscience can guide us in the right direction.

Doubts!
Uncertainty and self-doubt can still linger within us, despite our best efforts to stay focused and committed.

But nothing's sure in lifeand it ain't over
Life is full of uncertainty and we never know what lies around the corner, but it is up to us to stay hopeful and continue living each day to the fullest.

I look here...
Despite all of the challenges and struggles, it is important to stay grounded and focus on the present moment.

Over my head...
The negativity and weight of our past may feel all-consuming and overwhelming, but we must not let it define us.

When the sinner...
We all experience moments of sin or moral transgressions, but the important thing is how we learn and grow from those experiences.
