Hélium
DAMASCO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cry out but nothing comes now
I'm giving my all and I know peace will come
I never wanted to need someone
Yeah, I wanted to play tough, thought I could do all this on my own
But even Superwoman sometimes needed Superman's soul
Help me out of this hell
Your love lifts me up like helium
You're all I need
And if you let go, I'll float towards the sun
I'm stronger 'cause you fill me up
But when the fear comes and I drift towards the ground
I am lucky that you're around
Yeah, I wanted to play tough, thought I could do all this on my own
But even Superwoman sometimes needed Superman's soul
Help me out of this hell
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up when I'm down, down, down, when I've hit the ground
You're all I need
'Cause your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up like helium
The lyrics to DAMASCO's song "Helium" speak to the vulnerability in needing someone to lift us up when we're feeling low. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer acknowledging their struggles and desire for help. The use of the word "falling" creates a sense of loss of control and desperation. While the singer may feel like they're calling out to no one, they continue to give their all in the hopes that peace will come. The line "I never wanted to need someone" hints at the fear of vulnerability in relationships, but is then followed by the admission that sometimes we all need someone to help us.
The chorus provides the main emotional punch of the song, with the repeated "Your love lifts me up like helium" serving as a powerful image of floating away from our troubles with the help of a partner. The line "And if you let go, I'll float towards the sun" has a bittersweet edge, suggesting that even the comfort and safety provided by a relationship is not guaranteed to last.
The lyrics of "Helium" capture the emotional push-and-pull of relationships, with the fear of vulnerability balanced against the desire for connection and help. The song's refrain of "Your love lifts me up" serves as a powerful reminder of the power of love to transform our lives, even in the midst of struggle.
