Hellborn
Unwritten Law Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

High as a kite on a flight soarin' through the night
Droppin' new shit from the fuckin' mothership
And I feel like the spine of a jellyfish
Goddamn, it makes me sick

But I'm
Movin' slowly
Movin' slowly
Stoned and rolling
Barely holding on

[Chorus]
And you
Want
Some
Well, yeah, motherfucker, c'mon
I
Need
Some
Well, I'm a sucker

'cause I'm still getting

High as a star as they are shining from afar
So call your hotline
See ya at the finish line
'cause this mind has been warped and bent
And this body has been ised and spent

Movin' slowly
Movin' slowly
Stoned and rolling
Barely holding on

[Chorus]

Na na na na na na
Salvation
Creation
From the motherfuckin' master plantation
Do you feel right?
Does it feel tight?
From the motherfuckin' radio satellite
From the motherfuckin' radio satellite

I'm still getting high
Come on now
I'm still getting high
Oh-oh yeah
I'm still getting high

High as the sun will rise
Into these red singed eyes
Can't stop until I fly
'cause I'm still getting
High as the sun will rise
Into these red singed eyes
Can't stop until I fly
'cause I'm still getting high

Oh Lord yeah
I'm still getting high
Come on now
I'm still getting high
Oh yeah
I'm still getting

Na na na na na na
Salvation
Creation
From the motherfuckin' master plantation
Do you feel right?
Does it feel tight?
From the motherfuckin' radio satellite
From the motherfuckin' radio satellite

I'm still getting high
I'm still getting high




I'm still getting high
I'm still getting high

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Hellborn" by Unwritten Law seem to be describing the experience of being high or under the influence of drugs. The opening lines of the song speak to the feeling of being elevated and detached from reality, with the poet comparing their state to that of a jellyfish, an ethereal creature that can float through the water with ease. However, the tone of the lyrics quickly turn darker, with the singer feeling sick and barely holding on. The chorus of the song expresses the desire for more, the need to continue to reach for the high in order to sustain the temporary escape it provides.


The second verse of the song continues with the theme of being under the influence, with the singer feeling like the mind has been "warped and bent" and the body is "used and spent". The final lines of the song reiterate the desire to continue to chase the high, to keep getting high "as the sun will rise." Overall, the lyrics express the feeling of being trapped in the cycle of addiction and the inability to break free from it.
