The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Hellequin" by the artist "Therion"

The lyrics of the song "Hellequin" by Therion are a message from the perspective of Harlequin, a character traditionally associated with theater, masks, and duality. In the song, Harlequin takes on a sinister connotation, becoming the embodiment of chaos, darkness, and wild nature.

The listing of names - Harlequin, Elleken, Trivelin, Arlecchino - emphasizes the multiplicity and changeability of this character. He is both a jester and a devil, a seducer and a guide to the world of shadows.

The "festival of the night" and the "labyrinth" symbolize the entrance into an altered state of consciousness, a world ruled by instincts and hidden desires. The "wild hunt" is a metaphor for the pursuit of one's fears, a plunge into the depths of the subconscious.

Images of Dante, the "devil in hell," and "thirteen" (a reference to the 13 witches in a coven) reinforce the demonic nature of Harlequin. He appears as a messenger from hell, offering a dangerous but tempting journey into the world of darkness.

The masquerade, the bull of Saturday night (an image of a pagan deity), Capricorn (a zodiac sign associated with darkness and cold), the Fairy Queen, and the Elf King - all these images refer to the world of pagan cults, magic, and carnival, where the boundaries between reality and illusion, good and evil are blurred.

The song calls for the removal of the mask, that is, to abandon social conventions and embrace one's dark side, to embark on a journey towards one's fears and desires.

Harlequin

Hellequin

Trivelin

Arlecchino

I'm harlequin

Take off the mask

In the feast of the night

I'm going to appear

Dancing with you in the labyrinth

All through the night

In the wild hunt

And chasing your fear

I am a Devil in Hell

Dante could tell

I am one of thirteen

Harlequin, jester of Hell

Harlequin

Hellequin

Trivelin

Arlecchino

I am the hellequin

My mask is red and black

(I'm) The sneaking devil

The emissary

I bring you to the play

Into the masquerade.

I am the devil.

I am the winter dream.

You are ensnared in the harlequinade

Yes, ride the bull on Saturday night

Wear triangular patches in the comedy.

Hail Capricorn and the Fairy Queen.

Wear the black mask (of) Arlecchino

Join the wild hunt (and) enter Saturn

Hail the Elf-King.

I'm harlequin

Take off the mask

In the feast of the night.

I'm going to appear

Dancing with you in the labyrinth,

All through the night,

In the wild hunt,

And chasing your fear.

Harlequin, jester of Hell.

Malebranche, thirteen we are

Odin's followers.
