Lyrics & Translation

Dive into the raw energy of "Helter Skelter," a groundbreaking track by The Beatles that is often cited as a significant influence on the early development of heavy metal. Paul McCartney sought to create the loudest and dirtiest sound possible, resulting in a song characterized by its raucous vocals, loud drums, and distorted guitars. This song offers a fascinating insight into The Beatles' experimental side, pushing the boundaries of rock and roll and showing their versatility beyond their more melodic works. It also presents an opportunity to discuss the power of musical interpretation, as its original meaning was famously twisted by Charles Manson.

[English]

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on, tell me the answer
Well, you may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer
Now, helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Yeah
Ooh

Oh, will you, won't you want me to make you?
I'm coming down fast, but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer
Look out

I'm coming down fast, but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me your answer
You may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer
