Shagabond & Noah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm planted on my own two feet then you just had to mosey by
Enchanted and my joints go week cuz you are something more than fine

Give me some room, I think I spotted me an angel, I got a prayer I gotta tell her
Swear she got me like a balloon about to pop out on the dance floor
It so ain't fair, I'm feathers floating in the breeze

Oh

Look in your eyes and everything goes still
Oh
Feeling so light with helium I'm filled
Oh no

Melted like the ice
Radiating heat out from your eyes
Buy a couple tix to outer space
We won't have to dip back down for days
We'll be rolling smooth thru zero G's
Feeling how you move on top of me
Meeting of the minds mold into one
Seeing how we rise on past the sun

No landing cuz the clouds hang low were losing visibility
The damage that my brain cells go thru healing into ecstasy

Give me some room, I think I spotted me an angel, I got a prayer I gotta tell her
Swear she got me like a balloon about to pop out on the dance floor
It so ain't fair, I'm feathers floating in the breeze

Oh
Look in your eyes and everything goes still
Oh

Feeling so light with helium I'm filled
Oh no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shagabond & Noah's song "Helium" describe the feeling of being enchanted by someone who seems to have a magical effect on the singer. As the singer is "planted" on their own feet, they are suddenly taken aback by the presence of this person, who makes their "joints go weak" and who they compare to an angel. The singer feels a sense of weightlessness and buoyancy, like a balloon about to "pop out on the dance floor," and is struck by the other person's eyes, which make "everything go still." The feeling is so strong that the singer compares themselves to "feathers floating in the breeze."

The second half of the song continues this theme of weightlessness and being transported to a different plane of existence. The singer imagines going to outer space with this person, where they won't have to "dip back down for days," and can float "smooth thru zero G's." The imagery is both playful and sensual, with the singer imagining themselves moving in sync with the other person and "meeting of the minds mold[ing] into one." The overall effect of the song is to capture the feeling of being completely swept away by the presence of another person and experiencing a profound sense of joy and buoyancy.
