Remembering
Hellraiser Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

it seems I saw it all before
so many centuries ago
the ancient terrors creep behind me

what a f**k is that - I cry
horror possessed my mind
but I know it was for real
this is not a dream

I can see
burning sky
no mercy

I can recall how I was killed
on scaffold high my blood was spilt
the hangman raised a deadly sword

what a f**k is that - I cry
someone slashed my mind
but I know it was for real
this is not a dream

inquisition -
holy mission
mass extinction
terrors come alive
out of old times

burn in my mind

I can see
burning sky
no mercy

inquisition -
mass extinction
out of old times
inquisi1ion -

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hellraiser's song "Remembering" tell the story of a person who feels like they have experienced the horrifying events of the past. The song describes how the ancient terrors of the inquisition have caught up with the singer's mind, and they are haunted by the memories of being executed on the scaffold, as well as the inquisition's mission for mass extinction. The singer is scared and overwhelmed by the burning sky and the lack of mercy he sees around him.

The lyrics suggest that the singer is undergoing some form of psychological torment, caused by the traumatic memories of the past. The song reflects the horror and brutality of the inquisition, and the deep scars that it has left on the collective psyche of humanity. The use of profanity in the lyrics accentuates the sense of desperation and helplessness that the singer feels in the face of these repressed and traumatic memories.

"Remembering" is a powerful song that delves into the horrors of the inquisition and the lasting effects it had on society. The melody, instrumentation, and vocals complement the dark and foreboding theme of the song, evoking a sense of fear and desperation.

Doug Bradley was at his best in this movie, so subtle so charismatic with always a quiet menace about him, then a new cenobite comes in and dispatches him out of the movie in seconds just as the conversation between him and Kirsty was becoming interesting, i remember the first time seeing it and it was so jarring, then i had to wait for hellraiser 3 to see him again and by that stage they absolutely pissed all over his character turning him into a substandard freddy goon surrounded by goofy looking cenobites, absolutely criminal!!

@roundtheloopandback

Doug bradley did have some good scenes in the church in hellraiser three, but yeah the movie straight up sucked and was a waste of terry farrell

@Yaguara

Yeah Hellraiser 3 was awful. Hickox basically turned Pinhead into his Warlock. Warlock was cool but Pinhead isn't Warlock.

A beautiful redemptive arc for pin head here without all the over elaborate sign posting you get in modern cinema. Subtle but powerful.

I love how at 1:07, you can tell how Pinhead doesn't really believe what he's about to say before Kristy interrupts him.

@ecklectic9977

Yes it looks like he is trying to convince himself. He only has a few lines but manages to convey so much just with a simple look.

It would be interesting to know just what he was going to say there if Kirsty had not interrupted him.

Such an EPIC SCENE. A SEQUEL THAT EQUALS THE ORIGINAL.

@Phoenixesper1

1y↑3

Really 1 and 2 are one movie, remove the end credits from one and the intro credits from 2 and you can watch the whole thing and not realize its two films, I did that back in the 90s when I edited both onto one vhs tape. Aside from the blip of static from where they change hands they are completely seemless.

@scottishsuzuki8132

I’ve never watched any of them. Worth a watch ?

@Phoenixesper1

1y↑5

@Scottish Suzuki 1 and 2 are masterpieces of horror, clive barkers finest work, and should be watched together in one sitting as though it was one long movie.
The rest? err... are put in two categories, Category 1 "irredeemably Awful" and Category 2 "Interesting in parts but mediocre at best ."
Hell raiser 3 and 4 fall into the 2nd category.
HR3 is actually down right hilarious, like bennyhill funny in parts And Doug Bradly( pinhead) absolutely is the best part of that movie. HR3 is also the completion of the first 2 movies story arc, though more loosely connected.
HR4 is actually a massive backstory anothology explaining who created the puzzleboxes, where they came from and how the cenobites came to be. Overall it has some interesting ideas, some good acting by again doug bradley and by the main protagonist the inventor of the boxes. but it also is way to big of a story and suffers from being 2 movies crammed into one.
After the first 4 movies, preety much all of them are down right terrible, awful cash grabs that have little to no connection to barkers original works. Infact one of them they just added in cenobites for no reason other then they could.
In the end the first 3 function as a trilogy and the 4th as the anothology explaining the grander universe. Ignore everythung after 4. Happy watching!

@scottishsuzuki8132

@Phoenixesper1 should really give them a watch. Horror movies were never really my thing. Never seen the Elm streets Or Friday the 13s I clicked on a video about the new Hellraiser and now it’s in my feed everywhere

Barbie Wilde is great as the Female Cenobite. She has that dry, sarcastic, disinterested and aloof quality to her voice and presence which is, perhaps less sinister, but I think an improvement over the original.

@davidandrews2972

26w↑2

Fine acting here. You can actually see that in that moment Pinhead remembers who he once was, and what's been done to him. He wants to help the girls, and he wants to make Leviathan pay. Which he has no chance of doing, but still, he died with his boots on.

@bloodsling

the vocal effect on the female Cenobite is so freakin cool.

"Trick us again child, and your suffering will be legendary, even in Hell." Quotes like this are why Pinhead was so fucking badass!!!

@Grabthar191

2y↑56

Doug Bradly is as much Pin Head as Robert England is Freddy Krueger. It's tough, it not impossible, to replace them. I think Marvel would have the same problem with Robert Downy Jr, and Chris Evans. They have so meshed with the idea and feel of what we expect those characters to now be that replacing them is a exceedingly difficult task. You would have to have an extremely good performance from another actor as well as an exceptional story to get the audience to accept a new actor as The Hell Priest. I do also miss The Nun (Sister Nikoletta in life, The Fallen as a Cenobite) too. She did a stellar performance as Pin Head's Lieutenant, if not an actual co-commander. I did feel bad that the actress suffered so badly with the makeup though. I don't think she gets the recognition she deserves.(Played by Grace Kirby in the first and Barbie Wilde in the second)

@america9971

@dorkandproudofit

Doug Bradley gave his full blessing to Jamie Clayton's portrayal of The Hell Priest, and even reportedly turned down a cameo offer because he didn't want to risk his presence stealing her spotlight in any way. Whatever one's opinion on the new movie, you have to admit that is an absolute class move from a ridiculously nice guy.

@rickstorm4198

2y↑3

Jamie is a he. He did a great job, loved his portrayal as the hell priest.

However, i will never play into delusions that a man can be a woman and vice versa.

I always hear.... Trust the science. Yet, in this instance itis ignored entirely because we might hurt someone's feelings whom is obviously confused.

Dr. Channard was just the thing on the end . That was the Levithan Cenobite . Look at the beginning . The snakes putting the pins in Doug Bradley's head . The reason he was killed is because he was starting to remember who he was . No rebellion . People have always got this wrong . Pinhead was the strongest Cenobite . but he was facing his maker . How do you think it turned him back to a human . He earned my respect here . Once he was human , he could have ran , but he chose to face his own demise with courage . I think that was why the fans liked him . He had strength even without his powers .

If there was something that didn't need to be explained was the cenobites. They were supposed to be eternal, and that's all we needed to know. No back story, no origin story. The mystery was much better.

@nakfoor1846

2y↑76

I never did like the direction they took the cenobites in Hellraiser 2. In my head canon, the cenobites were humanoid yes, but definitely not former humans. As soon as you do that, it ruins the mystery and allure of the cenobites. I also don't like how they were made servants of a different entity. As Pinhead says in Hellraiser 1, they are "explorers of the farthest reaches of experience, demons to some, angels to others." They work far better, at least in my head, as humanoid entities traveling across space and time, master to no one, abducting anyone who trespasses into their realm as a means of preserving their privacy, not gathering souls for another creature.

@taylorpack7705

2y↑39

I didn’t mind that part but I hated that the doctor just comes in and wipes the floor with them. They should have had a big fight between him and pinhead.

@nakfoor1846

2y↑12

@Taylor Pack Also agree with that.. however this movie had a very troubled budget and development so they probably just dropped the ball on that.

@leewinters8245

@Taylor Pack it was originally longer , but was edited down for some reason. You can see some deleted scenes from the battle on the 2000 DVD release . They're in the trailer .

@SnackPackSilkens

I've read that the Cenobites were decided to formally be human as early as Hellraiser 1. It was discussions between Barker and Bradley about the character however the details were not there yet.

@BMAN-eb4jk

@Taylor Pack agreed. It might have also been interesting to see someone save them. Like Kirstie grabbing one of the tentacles before it strikes pinhead.

There were so many complaints about this that the producers had to come up with a rationale; they said that the other Cenobites were weakened because of their spiritual confusion at remembering their origins.
