Harlequin
Violet Chachki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got it.
Not everything
is what it smeems.
Diamond faces
masquerade our dreams.
Topsy turvy
mind behind the mask.
if you never ask.
Harlequin is here play
your latex dream.
Harlequin is here to play
I'll make you scream.
Harlequin is here to play.
Harlequin is here to play.
Kaleidoscope
of crisis in our brains.
Play the fool
fluid through our veins.
Throwing looks
like dagger through the air.
I never miss
catch this toxic stare.
Harlequin is here to play
your latex dream.
Harlequin is here to play
I'll make you scream.
Harlequin is here to play.
Harlequin is here to play.
Risque
magnifique.
This game
turns you weak.
Cant tame
my mystique.
Cabaret
of deception.
Harlequin is here to play
Your latex dream.
Harlequin is here to play
I'll make you scream.
Harlequin is here to play.
Harlequin is here to play.
In "Harlequin," Violet Chachki delves into the theme of identity and the idea that not everything in life is what it seems. The lyrics explore the idea of living behind a mask, both literally and figuratively. The Harlequin, a classic figure from theater and literature, is often depicted wearing a diamond-patterned costume and a mask. The song uses this imagery to convey the idea that people often hide behind facades in order to present a certain image to the world.
The lines "Kaleidoscope of crisis in our brains" and "Play the fool fluid through our veins" suggest that society often expects us to suppress our true selves and conform to societal norms. The song suggests that this can be dangerous and that it can cause crisis and turmoil within ourselves. The chorus repeats the phrase "Harlequin is here to play," implying that we should embrace our true selves and not be afraid to reveal who we truly are.
Overall, "Harlequin" is a call to embrace individuality and reject societal norms. It encourages listeners to shed their masks and be true to themselves, no matter how unconventional or "psycho" they may seem.
