Hammerfall - I Want Out Lyrics






From our lives' beginning on
We are pushed in little forms
No one asks us how we like to be
In school they teach you what to think
But everyone says different things
But they're all convinced that
They're the ones to see

[Bridge:]
So they keep talking and they never stop
And at a certain point you give it up
So the only thing that's left to think is this

[Chorus:]
I want out - to live my life alone
I want out - leave me be
I want out - to do things on my own
I want out - to live my life and to be free

People tell me A and B
They tell me how I have to see
Things that I have seen already clear
So they push me then from side to side
They're pushing me from black to white
They're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear

[Bridge:]
But don't push me to the maximum
Shut your mouth and take it home
'cause I decide the way things gonna be

[Chorus:]
I want out - to live my life alone
I want out - leave me be
I want out - to do things on my own
I want out - to live my life and to be free

There's a million ways to see the things in life
A million ways to be the fool
In the end of it, none of us is right
Sometimes we need to be alone

[Solo: Kai / Both]

No no no, leave me alone

[Chorus:]
I want out - to live my life alone
I want out - leave me be
I want out - to do things on my own
I want out - to live my life and to be free

Hammerfall I Want Out Comments
  1. G.... S....

    I hate to burst people's bubble but Kai started along with piet seilk helloween and was the original vocalist along with piet seilk of that band after piet left and reformed the band with weiki replacing piet after that Kai took over all lead vocals, until micheal kiske joined in December 1986, for the keepers albums, and for those who think kiske sang originally classic songs like ride the sky and how many tears they are wrong as well Kai sang them on the walls of Jericho album.

  2. I.... M....

    E aquele TS do Twisted Sister ali

  3. W.... K....

    Very good cover! But I like both of them ( Hammerfall-- Helloween)

  4. k.... k....

    Very good

  5. R.... H....

  6. c.... ....

    press 9 for newgrounds phoenix wrong nostalgia <3

  7. M.... T....

    This personifies my life right now. I just want nothing to do with life as it is right now.

  8. 6.... ....

    I Want Out by Helloween is the most influential song you never heard I think. I mean every New Wave of Power Metal band holds this song as a standard, and they’ve all played it live and some have recorded it. And it’s never been on the radio lol! Metallica before they were famous, King Diamond, Slayer, etc all got played on the radio atleast once on some station at 10 o’clock at night. Even Helloween did (the Halloween edit got some play) but not this song yet it lives.

  9. B.... M....

    It’s the same song everyone Kai Hansen write the hammerfall version of I want out and the Helloween version to

    B.... M....

    Correct Kai wrote it and sang all the original vocals on the helloween version as well before kiske's lead vocals were overdubbed on the original, and on this version it sounds like kai's lead vocals from 1988 reused but a half step down as it was recorded at his studio.

  10. P.... G....

    У киске все равно лучше

  11. J.... W....

    Awesome!

  12. X.... M....

    1.25x = Far far better

  13. A.... M....

    A good, but not really exciting cover of a classic masterpice of heavy metal.

  14. O.... L....

    Wow.. Two of my most favorite vocal, Joacim Cans and Kai Hansen in one song!

  15. P.... ....

    Love it... Good cover.

  16. L.... V....

    I do respect hammerfall, but original version much better

  17. �.... �....

    ну и кал.

  18. A.... D....

    It's a cover, but at the same time, they had Kai Hansen who wrote this song in the studio with them, he plays the guitar and sing half the song... It's like a 2.0 of the song. Gamma Ray and Hansen rulz.

  19. E.... L....

    The mission of a band to record a cover like this is not to do a better version than the original. It is to honor the original band and to please the fans giving their performance of classic tune. Unfortunately, people turns everything into a competition. This is an amazing performance for those who admire Hammerfall and Kai Hansen. It is all that matters for me.

  20. T.... ....

    Jag skulle vara den första Svenska killen och göra den har, jag är vänn med Kai för fan

  21. T.... X....

    Hammerfall has no voice to sing this song...

  22. J.... H....

    Parece Kai Hansen

  23. C.... M....

    Fantastic

  24. S.... ....

    オリジナルの方がええなあ~。。。

  25. S.... A....

    S.... A....

    Syuhada Abdu and U.D.O

  26. E.... W....

    I like how they chose a song that Kai didn't sing on the original record. It's something new.

  27. A.... Q....

    This cover is better than the one of Sonata Arctica.

  28. R.... M....

    15 true metal men dont like this cover.. i am like... Very good cover

  29. E.... P....

  31. C.... T....

    FUNNY COVER!!!!

  32. z.... j....

  35. K.... ....

    Hammerfall did a great job, best cover of this one.

  45. C.... F....

    Mucho mejor que Deris, GRANDE KAI

  46. P.... A....

    Me gusta más la de helloween

  47. B.... t....

    When I was in highschool and we had to run 5 miles I always put this song on, it pushed me to the limit. Now 7 years later I've finally broken free and I finally feel the way a human should feel. Free of all limitations, free of everything, I'm free to do what I want when I want how I want but of course I'm only gonna do it,if I feel like it, but if I feel like something's worth doing then I'll keep pushing but on a steady level. I like this way of living.

    B.... t....

    I'm 19, just finished high school, and I'm kinda trapped right now. I want to be free too. But the pressure is too strong. I don't know what I want to do with my life. Actually, I just wanna be free and live my life alone. The way I see it, the way I need it. Not how someone else tells me to live it. I want to be free of stupid human standards, stupid human guidelines, laws, all of human bullshit. I want them to leave me alone, so that I can be free.

    B.... t....

    @Lonely Warrior don't worry, you'll get there, just be patient, it will come to you when you least expect it.

    B.... t....

    Just get out of the closet man..

    B.... t....

    Blah threeonefivesix You can run 5 miles in 4 and a half minutes? Most people can't run 1 mile in that time. s

  48. #.... s....

    It's nice to see covers like this one :D

  49. O.... H....

    \,,/_ HAMMERFALL _\,,/

  50. S.... B....

    It's one of my most favourites from Hammerfall! But to be honest the all of theirs are fsntastic! A Hungarian says thank u Hammerfall for all!

    S.... B....

    Of course I Know but the Hammerfall version is much better than the original :)

    S.... B....

    +Szabolcs Ballok I bet to differ D: !

    S.... B....

    +Szabolcs Ballok that's way true

    S.... B....

    Considering Kai Hansen sings and plays guitar on this version I'd say Helloween approved of it.

  51. S.... W....

    Kai sings and plays guitar parts on this. There's a video somewhere on here of them in the studio recording it.

  52. B.... W....

    As much as Oscar Dronjak is one of the greatest guitarist of all time, the intro simply doesn't do justice.

  53. v.... a....

    LET THE HAMMER........FALLLLLLLLLLLLLL

    v.... a....

    @vanderley augusto wrong song

    v.... a....

    @Awake! RIGHT RIGHT:HAMMERFALL doing a great homage to HELLOWEEN.Let The HAMMER..........FALLLLLLLLLLL.

  54. J.... O....

    Michael Kiske's absence from this cover is easily compensated by Kai Hansen's energetic overload when he sings.

  55. F.... B....

    They tried but they cannot get even close to Michael Kiske's awesome voice. That's the difference

    Greetings!!

    F.... B....

    Kai sang most of the parts

    F.... B....

    And it's not supposed to sound the exact same as the original. Wouldn't covers be kinda boring if they were the exactly the same as the originals?

  56. F.... B....

    Good cover, but there is no one like the original one.

  57. G.... ....

    I swear I hear the "Listen... now" lyrics part from the song "Halloween" of the Keepers on 3:45!!!!!!!!! I am not crazy, it is there!

  58. S.... ....

    I love Kai's voice!!

    S.... ....

    Kai... I hate kids...

    S.... ....

    Agree Kai back then had a great voice, and Kai was the best voice helloween and gamma ray ever had and only Ralph sheepers could sing this song and many others as well and energetically and powerfully as kai

  59. m.... ....

    just mentioning Sonata Arctica :D 

    m.... ....

    Helloween - I Want Out     is the original song

    m.... ....

    I  know

    m.... ....

    @mc23243 Sonata Arctica butchered this song

  60. ..... p....

    I prefer Kiske, but this version is
     better 

  61. T.... ....

    Let the Hammer Fall from BELGIUM!

  62. F.... ....

    This music is classic of the heavy metal! Perfect version.

  63. T.... K....

    It's hammerfall featuring kai hansen.. Listen carefully at the chorus

    T.... K....

    Tou Koutsu H Mana it really is. He even plays guitar during it.

    T.... K....

    and Udo Dirkschneider during the harmonies.

  64. J.... O....

    Very good cover, It does the original justice but Helloween's was better(for me)

    J.... O....

    You do realize it's the same singer in both bands right?

    J.... O....

    It is not the same singer I don't know where you got that from buddy

    J.... O....

    He probably thinks Kai Hansen who I believe collaborated on this was the singer, LOL.

    J.... O....

    Guys Kai Hanson wrote it and actually did all the original vocals on it before they put micheal kiske's vocals kai's vocals on this version sounds like his vocals from 1988 but a half step down, that he must have reused, as this track, was recorded at his then Hansen studio,which was gamma rays original studio, and out of everyone I have heard sing this track I prefer kai's vocals and Ralph sheepers vocals.

    J.... O....

    @RafB72 no Kai wrote it and sang it originally in 1988 but the lead vocals were overdubbed, with micheal kiske's, for the keepers 2 album, but on this version it sounds like kai's lead vocals from 1988 reused but a half step down from the original version.

  65. S.... R....

    Well done !

  66. K.... T....

    very good cover! but i still prefer Helloween :p

    K.... T....

    Not a cover. But a duet.

  67. Z.... ....

    Who sings original?

    Z.... ....

    Helloween

  68. C.... H....

    Wenn man genau hinhört dann hört man am ende so ne komische stimme "Raus" sagen :)

  69. b.... c....

    Better than original.. I think

    b.... c....

    Same here. u can here the rift better in this version, which is by far my favorite part

  70. R.... ....

    I love all the covers of this song!

  71. Q.... ....
