Helloween – Keeper Of The Seven Keys Lyrics 20 years ago
Not necessarily about Jesus, though it does definately have influence from the Christian faith of the band's members. Note how the song is in second person, how YOU are the Keeper of the Seven Keys. To me, it seems to be suggesting a way of life. Humans being subject to temptation is preached by Christianity: those seven seas could be seas of temptation, tempting towards the seven cardinal sins or other evils. "Throw the key or you may die" suggests that following an evil path will destroy you. The idea of temptation is shown most strong with Satan who tries to mislead you (You being the hero). By overcoming these temptations, you defeat Satan: that is, the threat to your soul, and possibly the threat that you would otherwise be to the world.

Helloween – Hell Was Made in Heaven Lyrics 20 years ago
This is kinda wierd. The majority of Helloween's members are Christian, so I highly doubt "hell" is the hero, here. Maybe the character is trying to lure a woman into commiting adultery, by trying to convince her that her marriage (If she was married in a church, it could be suggested that the marriage was made in Heaven) is like a Hell.

Helloween – Guardians Lyrics 20 years ago
I love this song. I've never seen THX 1138, but this seems a lot like the book 1984 by George Orwell to me. The Guardians resemble the Thought Police, who would catch anyone who thinks in a manner that does not conform to the ideals of the ruling party and submit them to torture until they willingly conform, to a thorough amount of effectiveness, at least on a conscious level. This of course would be parallel to having a new brain with a conforming mind placed inside of you. The higher order mentioned in the song might be the Ministry of Plenty, who handles distribution of many things, such as chocolate; it gives very little, contrary to the name. "In our centers we can dream of / Anything you never think of" could be a reference to the writings distributed by the Ministry of Truth, particularly the erotica that is written for the poor. This would be something people should never think of, as the Party seems to have disdain towards love or desire. Being checked up on a screen could be a reference to the telescreens in 1984, which were two-way, unable to be turned off, and found everywhere, so that the people could be constantly watched. The "ones without rules" could refer to the Brotherhood mentioned in the book, a force of rebels that cannot be said to definately exist or not exist, though the Party claims that they do. The character claims that they are fools, which would make sense as the people in the book view this rebellion as evil. Likewise, claiming that the Guardians would get them would make sense, as the main character of the book tried to join this order, only to find out that he was lead into a ruse by the Though Police. The end, where "Puppets on a string" is said twice; I think it refers to rebellion, where the character is claiming that people the people are puppets, only to be silenced (by the end of the song). "Of our minds without love without hate" wouldn't fit, however, as there is a definate love for the Party's ideals and a hate for the Party's enemy (Whether or not that enemy is real). Not knowing war or crime is also ackward for comparison, as war is clearly existent in the book's world, though crime is clearly hidden. There's no mention of anyone going to war in the book, but they are constantly up to date with the progress (Moreover, lack thereof) over their TV (Video) screens.
