Hellraiser
Yung Lean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Evil-doer, hellraiser, what you doin'? Gettin' paper
Evil twin, ride with laser, we not ravers
Darth Vader, dark fable, Ziploc bags, we duct tape 'em
I'm not stable, paper chasin', where you're from?
Leandoer, undertaker, what you want? Prada blazer
Hands like tasers, flametorch, I'm on
Make a wish, starglazer (oh)
Great car racin', I feel like Obi-Wan

What you wish? Stargazing, car racing
You know I can't write no love statement
Yeah, we heartbreakers, yeah
Hotboxing, got no stopwatch in the star nation
And we skrrt from the star fragrance, hellraisin'
Suicide doors on the limousine, self-hatred
Live your dreams, don't chase 'em (ayy)
Pull up in black leather, change the weather
I move silent like a black feather, stack getter, play for keeps
Hellraisin', destiny
Tomorrow I'll be me
Tomorrow I'll be free

Evil-doer, hellraiser, what you doin'? Gettin' paper
Evil twin, ride with laser, we not ravers
Darth Vader, dark fable, Ziploc bags, we duct tape 'em
I'm not stable, paper chasin', where you're from?
Leandoer, undertaker, what you want? Prada blazer
Hands like tasers, flametorch, I'm on




Make a wish, starglazer (oh)
Great car racin', I feel like Obi-Wan

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Hellraiser" by Yung Lean describe the chaotic lifestyle of a young man who identifies himself as an "evil-doer" and "hellraiser." He is primarily focused on "getting paper" or making money, even if it means using unethical or illegal means. The song refers to different pop culture icons such as "Darth Vader," "Obi-Wan," and "Ziploc bags" (as a reference to the drug trade) to emphasize the singer's recklessness and disregard for authority.


The lyrics also suggest a sense of duality within the singer's personality, as he refers to himself as an "evil twin." He is not interested in mainstream activities such as raving, but instead prefers to engage in activities that challenge the norm, such as "car racing" and "flame torching." He even brings up the idea of suicide doors on a limousine, suggesting that he is willing to go to extreme lengths for his desires.


Overall, the lyrics of "Hellraiser" paint a picture of a reckless, money-driven young man who is willing to engage in extreme activities to achieve his goals. However, there are hints of insecurity and inner turmoil, adding a layer of complexity to the character he portrays.
