Helah
Mauno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're lonely
The old room
Through your own (pan??)
The old friends
That you knew well
And pan?
Helah, come back
Lose the will to do what you used to know
Helah, come back
Lose the will to what you used to live for
For what you used to know
Blank druh
When you're lonely
Hearing the songs you heard (Huuuh)
One's druh, unsure
???
Helah, come back
Lose the will to do what you used to know
Helah, come back
Lose the will to what you used to live for
For what you used to know
The lyrics of Mauno's song Helah depict a feeling of nostalgia and longing for the past. The first stanza talks about a person being alone in their old room and thinking about old friends whom they knew well. However, the lyrics contain a phrase "Through your own (pan??)" which is a bit unclear in terms of its meaning. It could be interpreted as "through your own pain," meaning that the person is reminiscing about good memories but also feeling a hint of sadness or pain associated with those memories.
The chorus of the song reflects a plea to Helah to "come back." This could be interpreted in different ways. It could be a literal call for someone named Helah to return, or it could be a metaphor for wanting the feeling of the past to return. The lyrics suggest losing the will to do what a person used to know and to live for. This could mean that the person has lost their sense of purpose or direction, and they long for the clarity they had in the past.
In the second stanza, the lyrics describe the feeling of being lost when hearing songs that one used to know. The phrase "One's druh, unsure" could be translated to "one's drug, uncertain." This could convey the idea that music used to provide a sense of comfort or escape, but now even that is uncertain or confusing.
Overall, the lyrics of Helah are open to interpretation and could mean different things to different people. Still, they capture a sense of melancholy and longing for something that once was.
