Helter Skelter
Popdudes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again.

Do, don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Helter skelter, helter skelter
Helter skelter.

Will you, won't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Look out
Helter skelter, helter skelter
Helter skelter.
Look out 'cause here she comes.

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again.

Well do you, don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Look out
Helter skelter, helter skelter
Helter skelter.

Look out helter skelter
She's coming down fast.
Yes she is.
Yes she is

(I've got blisters on my fingers)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Popdudes's song "Helter Skelter" are famously similar to The Beatles' song of the same name. The lyrics describe the experience of sliding down a slide and feeling the rush of the ride. The phrase "helter skelter" is used throughout the song as a kind of exclamation or expression of excitement.

The chorus of the song asks the listener whether they want to be loved, and suggests that although the singer is coming down fast and is above the listener in some way, the listener may not be able to keep up with the singer.

The line "You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer" might suggest that the listener is more focused on romance than on enjoying the ride of life. The repetition of the phrase "Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer" in both the chorus and the verses seems to express a sense of urgency or even desperation on the part of the singer.

Overall, the lyrics to "Helter Skelter" can be interpreted as an expression of the thrill of living life to the fullest, and a challenge to the listener to keep up with the pace.
