Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Momma let me out on a Saturday night
She said Now go out and get her, go and hold her tight
I said Momma you don't understand everytime I touch her
Hand it starts a-burning in the fires of Hell
If I hold it too long, you never can tell
What would happen to me, I wouldn't want you to see
Star gazer
Trail Blazer
Natural born raver yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
She's like a live bombshell, like a flash out of hell
When she shakes it up, Oooo! Everyone fell
It's a feeling that's neat and she took me completely
By suprise with her ultrasonic eyes
Flashing like hysterical danger signs that said
Beware where you tread or you'll go out of your head!
Look out! She's a Hellraiser
Star gazer
Trail Blazer
Natural born raver yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Look Out!
Hellraiser

Momma you don't understand everytime I touch her
Hand it starts a-burning in the fires of Hell

The lyrics to "Hellraiser" by The Sweet Feat. Brian Connolly depict a narrator seeking his mother's permission to go out on a Saturday night and pursue a romantic interest. However, there is a twist in this story. The singer explains to his mother that whenever he touches the girl's hand, it unleashes a burning sensation akin to the fires of Hell. He fears the consequences of holding her hand for too long, as it may result in something undesired or potentially dangerous. This expresses the intense and overwhelming nature of the relationship.
The chorus serves as a warning to others about the girl in question. She is depicted as a Hellraiser, someone who disrupts the norm and challenges conventions. She is a star gazer, someone who dreams big and aims for the highest goals. A trailblazer, someone who paves the way and leads others to new experiences. A natural-born raver, someone who embodies the spirit of celebration and enjoyment. These descriptors emphasize her captivating and powerful presence, commanding attention from everyone around her.
The second verse continues to describe the girl's impact on the singer. She is compared to a live bombshell, evoking a highly explosive and thrilling energy. When she shakes things up, everyone around her is captivated by her charisma. Her presence is electrifying and unexpected, taking the singer completely by surprise. Her ultrasonic eyes are described as flashing like hysterical danger signs, signaling the potential risks of getting involved with her. The lyrics caution the listener to be aware of the consequences and the possibility of losing their sanity.
The repetition of "Hellraiser" in the chorus further emphasizes the girl's disruptive and intense nature. It serves as a chant-like warning to be cautious around her. The last part of the lyrics includes a prolonged vocalization of "Ooooooo! Look out!" This could be interpreted as a final, heightened warning about the girl's mysterious and dangerous allure. Overall, "Hellraiser" explores the intoxicating and potentially destructive consequences of pursuing a fiery and passionate romance.
