Helios
Here's Johnny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's done is done
To carry on is to let go
This hell is home
For those who mourn a death of self
Into nevermore
No memory
Or sense of being who I am
As I scream and shout
For glory or for love I dream
Looking for meaning
Looking for healing
Looking for the pain of those you love
Make it a nightmare
For those that mourn my inexistence
I'm coming home, imaginary throne
I've been waiting all night long
An everlasting starry night
Oh Thanatos don't you come my way
Die, die
Mother mercy take my hand
Die, die
And let them witness my demise
Die, die
I feed of all you sinners's cries
Die, die
And let me fly
Into the sun
I shall return
Eternity's meaningless escapade
Shall send us all to hell
And wash us in the flames
Into the sun I shall return
Eternity's meaningless escapade
Shall send my soul to hell
And wash us in the flames
Burn it down!
The lives I've taken
Have brought a name to who I am
The pain I've caused
The love I've sought
Have dug the grave where I belong
There is no such thing as a death of the ego
So put that bullet between my eyes
Martyrize me
Martyrize me
Martyrize me
Cause there's no such thing as the death of the ego
Despair shall be my currency in this god forsaken world
Into the sun I shall return
Eternity's meaningless escapade
Shall send my soul to hell
And wash us in the flames
Into the sun I shall become
And cleanse this world for my throes
The twilight should take me away
To an endless night for my soul
No hell or heaven for the blessed or the wicked
There is no such thing as the death of the ego
Oh serpent sun
Relinquish your grasp on this world
Eternal eclipse
Gloaming forevermore
Into the sun I shall return
Eternity's meaningless escapade
Shall send my soul to hell
And wash us in the flames
Into the sun I shall become
And cleanse this world of my own
The twilight should take me away
To an endless night for my soul
The lyrics of "Helios" by Here's Johnny delve deeply into themes of existential despair, self-destruction, and the eternal struggle between the self and the concept of existence. The opening lines introduce the notion of 'oblivion' as an alternative to suffering—acknowledging that what has happened cannot be changed, and to continue living means to let go of the past. The phrase "this hell is home" suggests a resignation to a state of perpetual anguish, where the loss of one's identity is mourned. The repetition of "Into nevermore" and the absence of memory hint at a deep-seated desire to escape reality and all its associations. This evokes a sense of emptiness, as the persona grapples with the fragmentation of their sense of self, longing for a kind of transcendence or release from the burdens of existence.
As the narrative progresses, there is an intriguing contrast between the desire for meaning and the recognition that traditional notions of glory and love might be unattainable or unworthy. The lyrics depict a chaotic inner world where the quest for emotional connection and validation often leads to deeper pain. The line "make it a nightmare for those that mourn my inexistence" emphasizes a wish to be acknowledged even in absence, perhaps highlighting a desire for significance beyond one's physical presence. The imagery of an "imaginary throne" and an "everlasting starry night" alludes to a longing for a powerful, yet ephemeral presence, as if the persona seeks to assume a position in a cosmic order that they feel disconnected from. The repetition of death-related themes, particularly invoking Thanatos (the personification of death), illustrates an ongoing tumultuous relationship with mortality and the implications of identity within that framework.
The chorus encapsulates the struggle with fate and entropy, expressing a vehement desire to “die” not out of despair alone but as a radical assertion of self. The insistent call for martyrdom reflects a confrontation with pain and the acknowledgment that one's existence might perpetuate suffering. This paradoxical longing suggests that the persona finds a twisted sense of power in confronting their own demise, with the declaration of "no such thing as a death of the ego" suggesting an unending battle for identity amidst chaos. The repeated invocation of “despair shall be my currency” further reinforces the idea that suffering is not just a part of life, but a form of existential validation within a seemingly indifferent universe.
The closing verses elaborate on the cyclical nature of experience and the futility of escaping the binds of existence—the eternal return to “the sun” speaks to a desire for rebirth or renewal, yet it is laced with the stark realization that this transformation may only lead to further torment. The imagery of cleansing the world through one’s own pain emphasizes the intricate relationship between self-identity and suffering, suggesting that the act of inflicting pain or longing for oblivion has become inextricably linked to the persona's existence. The recurrent themes of twilight and eternal night serve as a reminder of the seductive quality of despair—the allure of ultimate escape versus the harsh reality of existence. As such, "Helios" becomes a resonant meditation on the catastrophic interplay between life, death, and the search for meaning in a world characterized by suffering.
