Mannequins
Harkla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dark alleys, were death and the fortune of all restless souls dwells slowly
See terror, in every mind of your own ones, who demands you
Into the afterlife we drain of sorrow and despair,
a secret beneath the surface of your own creation.

Can you let go of the death that trembles in your head?
But you will never ever be alone!
Embrace the light, thats serves you in the darkest life!

Beat him down, slay the lore, fear of the weakest agony
Beat him down, slay the lore, fear of the strong purgatory

Heroes of the day will save us all from the infection
upon our dawning light falling from grace, crawling from hell
Our wooden bones marching strong into the fiery pit
Dead eyes, hollowed heads twisting inside your deepest fear

MANNEQUINS!
MANNEQUINS!

You are the prey, show us the way, together we're bound to fail

I am the unholy, I am all your fears
I am the only one, I am your god

See the death come, see the life leave
See the death come, see the life leave
Skin burns red, you are dead
Bring the fucking pain!
MANNEQUINS!
MANNEQUINS!




I am the unholy, I am all your fears
I am the only one, I am your god

Overall Meaning

Harkla's song "Mannequins" paints a dark and haunting picture of death and despair that lies just beneath the surface of our everyday lives. The first verse sets the stage with vivid imagery of dark alleys where restless souls dwell slowly, and the terror that lies in every mind. It speaks to the fear of what awaits us in the afterlife and the secret that lies beneath the surface of our own creation. The chorus challenges us to let go of the death that trembles in our head and embrace the light that serves us in the darkest moments of our lives.


The second verse brings forth the theme of heroes who save us from the infection that threatens to engulf us all. But the path to salvation is not an easy one, as even the strongest crumble under the fear of purgatory. The song culminates with the repeated chorus of "MANNEQUINS" which suggests the idea of being trapped in a lifeless and mechanical existence, a hollow shell devoid of emotions.


The lyrics of "Mannequins" provide us with a glimpse into the human psyche and the challenges we face in the battle against our inner demons. It raises the question of whether we are truly in control of our lives or if we are just puppets controlled by something greater. The song's poetic and cryptic lyrics leave the listener with plenty to ponder as they delve deep into the dark and eerie world that Harkla has created.

Good band, however they decided to incorporate clean vocals and keyboards, which I don't think fits with metal, but at least it's their style, they do what they think sounds good and I respect that.
