Helios
Keith Kenniff - Helios Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smash break a window
Running for your door
Words there to bite you
No blood to draw
I’m not a ghost anymore
I’m not a ghost anymore
I’m not a ghost anymore
I’m not a ghost anymore
I’m not the only one
Who’s afraid of the sun
(I’m not the only one)
(Who’s afraid of the sun)
I’m not the only one
Who’s afraid of the sun
I’m not the only one
Who’s afraid of the sun
Teach me a lesson
I cannot feel this
Our fears the outside
They don’t believe us
I’m not a ghost anymore
I’m not a ghost anymore
I’m not a ghost anymore
I’m not a ghost anymore
I’m not the only one
Who’s afraid of the sun
(I’m not the only one)
(Who’s afraid of the sun)
I’m not the only one
Who’s afraid of the sun





I’m not the only one
Who’s afraid of the sun

The repetition of the phrase "I'm not a ghost anymore" throughout the song indicates a desire to break free from a state of invisibility or feeling unseen. It speaks to a need for recognition and validation, possibly from others who may not fully understand or acknowledge the singer's struggles. The lines, "I'm not the only one, Who's afraid of the sun" can be interpreted metaphorically, referring to the fear of exposing oneself or stepping into the light, both literally and figuratively. It suggests a shared experience of apprehension or vulnerability among individuals, emphasizing that the singer is not alone in their anxieties.


The lines, "Our fears the outside, They don't believe us," highlight a discrepancy between the singer's internal struggles and the external perception of others. It suggests a disconnect between their inner emotions and the nonchalant or dismissive attitude of those around them. The plea to be taught a lesson they cannot feel speaks to a desire for empathy and understanding, as if the singer is searching for a way to bridge the gap between their own emotional experiences and the perceptions of others.
