Hellraiser
Ozzy Osbourne/Zakk Wylde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain't had enough
I keep saying that it's getting too much
But I know I'm a liar
Feeling all right in the noise and the light
But that's what lights my fire
Hellraiser, rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser, and I'll make it come true
Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you
Walking out on another stage
Another town, another place
Sometimes I don't feel right
Nerves wound up too damn tight
People keep telling me it's bad for my health
But kicking back don't make it
Out of control, I play the ultimate role
But that's what lights my fire
I'm living on an endless road
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain't had enough
Feeling all right in the noise and the light
But that's what lights my fire

The song begins on a note of him being on an endless road, traveling around the world for his love of rock and roll. The life of a rockstar is far from easy, and Ozzy Osbourne reflects that in his lyrics when he says that sometimes it feels so tough, but despite that, he still cannot get enough of it. He lies to himself that it is getting too much, but that, in fact, is just a mirage because he knows that being in the noise and the light, surrounded by his music, is what truly lights his fire.

However, he admits that sometimes, he doesn't feel right, and his nerves are wound up too tight. Nonetheless, despite the warnings he gets from people that his lifestyle is bad for his health, he cannot let go of his passion because playing the ultimate role is what truly lights his fire.

@raymondcroteau
@@thebluepig7532 Yeah, but, is it really Rock'n'Roll or Heavy Metal to go to Heaven when going to Hell and taking over a part of it is an option? Or just driving the Highway to Hell back and forth on a Boss Motorcycle or a Epic Musclecar?
