Song Meaning of “Hell” by The Supervillains
“Hell” by The Supervillains ponders the state of our inner turmoil and how it can be a source of struggle and strife. It looks at the concept of Hell and the various ways we all deal with the weight of our inner conflict. It’s a cry-out for relief and peace from the inner turmoil that clouds our minds and our lives.
The song starts off with a sensory description of “Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies,” painting a mental image of what a view of Hell might look like, and how our inner conflict can easily coincide with such feelings. He references “the darkness that we can all find in the corners of our minds,” further describing how we can all be taken in by the cycle of worry and doubt. The chorus laments, “We don’t want to go to hell, So just keep running and don’t look back,” emphasizing how we can lose track of who we are if we let our inner turmoil control us.
The song reflects on the idea that peace of mind and soul is within reach, but can easily be evaded, as he sings: “Maybe there’s a way out, If we just believe in something truly strong.” It’s a call for hope and recognition that mindsets can be changed if we put in the effort and belief in a higher power that restores our sense of inner peace.
