Helium Lyrics

9:09
You gonna call it or am I?
One more time
This puppy love is out of line
One more slide
And then we're back to real life

Ooh and I'm falling now but it's so wrong
You talk like a man and taste like the sun

Ooh and you lift your eyes up from the dust
I knew just then I knew it was done

I guess I want you more than I thought I did
Now that I know that part of you's at home with him
I guess I want you more than I thought I did
Now that I know that part of you's not part of this

Soft blue sky
Helium balloons float up away
Broad daylight
But we're sunflowers in the rain

My momma said their used to be white pyramids
They float above the sand they're slowly sinking in
Are our foundations destined to keep crumbling
Just 'cause we started this with zero innocence?

I just can't build on something that begins like this
It's a blood diamond, flawless but for that one thing

You just want backstreets, you don't want me
You're just gonna play it back the wrong way
You just want backstreets, you don't want me
You're just gonna play it back the wrong way

(Hello? David)
(Hello?)
(Are you talking to me?)

What is the Meaning of Helium?

Exploring the complexities of love and desire, this poignant composition delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited affection. The lyrics portray a protagonist yearning for someone who is already committed to another, symbolized through phrases like "part of you's at home with him." This struggle is further emphasized by the imagery of helium balloons floating away - an allegory for fleeting love and missed opportunities. The reference to 'white pyramids' sinking in sand could signify deteriorating foundations of their relationship. The term 'blood diamond' is a metaphor for something beautiful yet tainted, reflecting the protagonist's predicament🎈💔. Ultimately, the song highlights the painful reality that despite deep feelings, sometimes love isn't enough to sustain a relationship if it doesn't serve both parties equally.
