Song Meaning of “Mr Hyde” by Hellspray
This surging rock anthem from Hellspray paints a vivid picture of a man’s battle with his personal demons. The protagonist is wracked with inner turmoil, fighting the monster that lurks beneath the surface – the malevolent Mr. Hyde. The narrator realizes that it is his own destructive behavior that threatens to consume him and he struggles to “escape the wild raging chains of insanity”. As the song progresses, the man encourages himself to “make a stand tonight”, to choose to overcome his internal darkness. The song’s message of redemption and hope speaks to the idea that our darker sides do not need to define us if we have the courage to confront and combat them.
