In a March 16, 2025 interview with Rock Sound, Dom explained the song “is a journey of self-reclamation – a goodbye to the past and how you may have known or perceived me before, and a ‘hello’ to the future and where I’m going.” Dom continued that “It’s an adventure that is sonically more ambitious...
[Part 1: Hello]
[Verse 1]
Hello, are you out there?
Are you trying? Are you patient?
Are you blind?
Are you with me? Against me?
Don't know me at all
[Refrain]
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello (Go)
[Verse 2]
Hello, are you in there?
Do you still remember, or have you forgotten where you're from?
Are you still scared of dying?
Scared of them finding out that you don't know who you are?
And I don't know what's in my head, but I know what's in my chest
I don't know if I can make it, I don't know if I can change it
But I know it's how I feel, even if it isn't real
I wanna feel alive, tell me, do you wanna feel alive?
Oh, I wanna feel alive
[Refrain]
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello (Oh, I wanna feel alive)
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
(Tell me, do you wanna feel alive?)
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
(Tell me, do you wanna feel alive?)
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
(Tell me, do you wanna feel alive?)
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello (Oh)
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello (Oh, oh)
[Part 2: Heaven]
[Verse 1]
Since I was a little boy, I devised a windmill getaway
They'd kick me in the mud and they told me, "That's the price you pay"
So tell me, are you gonna die with the lies that they force inside your head
Or are you gonna live by the thorns in what you said?
[Pre-Chorus]
Little freak, gonna walk, they don't talk till you've packed up and gone away
Little boy, stupid boy, what you after each and every day?
For it's the fool who's the last to jump off the edge
[Chorus]
(One step) One step into heaven
But first, you'll go to hell and back
(One step) One step into heaven
Are you gonna be the fool who's the last to jump off the edge?
Don't give a damn 'bout what they said
[Verse 2]
And since I was a little boy, I always held a tear upon my face
They'd hit me in the mouth and they told me, "It's time to act your age"
So tell me, are you gonna die in the pain that they all inflict on you
Or are you gonna swim through the storm of what you have to do?
[Pre-Chorus]
Little freak, gonna walk, they don't talk till you've packed up and gone away
Little boy, stupid boy, what you after each and every day?
For it's the fool who's the last to jump off the edge
[Chorus]
(One step) One step into heaven
But first, you'll go to hell and back
(One step) One step into heaven
Are you gonna be the fool who's the last to jump off the edge?
Don't give a damn 'bout what they said
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Little freak, gonna walk, they don't talk till you've packed up and gone away
Little poor, stupid boy, what you after each and every day?
For it's the fool who's the last to jump off the edge
[Chorus]
(One step) One step into heaven
But first, you'll go to hell and back
(One step) One step into heaven
Are you gonna be the fool who's the last to jump off the edge?
Don't give a damn 'bout what they said
[Instrumental]
[Part 3: Hello]
[Bridge]
There's a chance I won't see you tomorrow
So I will spend today saying hello
And all the hopes and dreams I may have borrowed
Just know, my friend, I leave them all to you
[Refrain]
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
[Outro]
That was powerful to hear that synth at the end
Look, hey
The lion looking down at you and I
We're on the back of all the mankind
All the war, the pain, and thus
Youselves, don't forget yourselves
Hey, hey, hey
I'm missing out all the love
I'm so oblivious to love
But, oh
He said it before
Go, go, go, go
That was really fucking good
No synths at the end
I miss you and I wish you'd hear this
Oh

“Hello Heaven, Hello’ is the overture to Idols. This was the last song that came. Originally, the album started with ‘Idols Pt. 1’ and it wasn’t good enough yet. It was a nine out of 10 and I was like, ‘We need a spectacle. We need a prelude.’ It’s the bridge between the past and now: It’s how we ar...
