Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will never make the mistake and give it back
When I hold the key to open my mind before it's too late
I will never give it back
There's just one way I see
The way I think it's right for me
You say to me I will repent what I do
When I see the light of sun will fade away
And I reveal what I have loved before
It's too late when I can't see the hours I pay
And I reveal what I have loved before
There's just one way I see
The way I think it's right for me
You say to me I will repent what I do
If it's right I'll stop before
[Chorus]
The life I try to give is
All I have inside of me
It's one kind of life for me
This music you hear
The strength we have inside is
So much more than you will know
But if you can't see the life around
You'll always walk alone
Look at the drunk man, look into his eyes
See his strong hands
But tomorrow they will tremble cold as ice
See the drunk man, try to ask him why
He will laugh, and tomorrow he will tell you another lie
There's a fight in his head he cannot win
Getting stronger, makes him mad, burning sin
You... you cannot hide
You... you cannot describe your feelings inside
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Helloween's song You Always Walk Alone is a reflection of the struggle one experiences when trying to pursue their ambition amidst the negative opposition of others. The first verse of the song conveys the belief that once one has found their purpose in life, they should never let go of it. The use of heaven's door as an allegory conveys the importance of holding onto one's beliefs and dreams, standing strong and being unwavering in the face of adversity. This is further illustrated in the chorus where the lead singer emphasizes that the music they create represents what they embody and is their way of life.
The song then takes a somber tone in the second verse by illustrating how the uncertainty of life can make one look back with regret over missed opportunities. This is where the line "The life I try to give is, all I have inside of me" speaks to how much dedication, commitment, and passion the band has to pursue their dreams. The song's bridge also introduces yet another character, a drunk man, who is battling with his own demons, and is emblematic of the pain and upheaval that can come along when one is determined to follow their purpose.
Overall, the song's message is about walking your own path, staying true to your convictions, and not being deterred by others. It's about the beauty of persistence, resilience, and the power of will.

This music you hear
The music you've been listening to, the message it conveys.
The strength we have inside is
The inner strength we all possess.
So much more than you will know
Most people don't even realize how much resilience, courage, and determination they have within.
But if you can't see the life around
If you're too focused on your own problems and obstacles,
You'll always walk alone
You'll feel isolated and unsupported by others.
Look at the drunk man, look into his eyes
Consider the example of someone who's struggling with addiction.
See his strong hands
Despite his problems, he has certain strengths and qualities.
But tomorrow they will tremble cold as ice
However, those strengths won't last or won't be enough to overcome his addiction.
See the drunk man, try to ask him why
Try to understand the underlying reasons why someone might turn to alcohol or drugs.
He will laugh, and tomorrow he will tell you another lie
He might not take your question seriously or avoid telling you the truth about his struggles.
There's a fight in his head he cannot win
The addict has an internal struggle that he knows he'll lose.
Getting stronger, makes him mad, burning sin
His addiction gets stronger over time and causes him to feel anger, shame, and guilt.
You... you cannot hide
No matter how hard you try to hide your struggles or pretend everything is fine,
You... you cannot describe your feelings inside
You know that the pain, fear, and sadness inside of you cannot be easily put into words.
The life I try to give is...
The way I strive to live each day,
All I have inside of me...
Reflects my values, my goals, my strengths, and my flaws
It's one kind of life for me...
And it's the life that brings meaning and purpose to me
The strength we have inside is...
The resilience, courage, and determination we possess is something that can help us overcome adversity
So much more than you will know...
And whether we realize it or not, that strength can make all the difference in our lives
But if you can't see the life around...
Yet if we're so focused on our own struggles and obstacles
You'll always walk alone...
We may feel isolated and unsupported, but we need to remember that help and support is always available if we're willing to take that first step.
