Skulk
Harmful Lyrics

The lyrics of "Skulk" by Harmful express an idea that adding black paint to something may be the result of external pain, and this could be intended to create a constant point or a moral standard. The singer goes on to say that a false statement with a few grains of truth in it can also be used for the same purposes. In both cases, the goal seems to be to provoke a reaction, to cause others to feel or to become aware of something, or to pronounce a moral standard that could be useful to the singer or to someone else.

The chorus of the song seems to challenge someone to take action, to dare to do something and to prove his or her skills. It is not clear whether this challenge is directed at the listener or at someone else, but it suggests that the singer is looking for someone who is not afraid to take a risk and to show his or her abilities. The title "Skulk" may be related to this idea, since it implies a kind of sneaking or hiding behavior, and the chorus seems to contrast this with a more active and confident attitude.
