The Helio Sequence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You go away at night
Keep in mind the last time
But don't ignore the first
Raise your eyes just go again
There will be a next time
So you go go go if you wanna go
Day day day will rise again
You know know know it will come again
It will come again
Keep in the mind the last time
But don't ignore the worst
Raise your eyes just go again
There will be a next time
So you go go go if you wanna go
You stay stay stay well you never know
Day day day will rise again
You know know know it will come again
It will come again
In a perfect world
There would be no divide
In a perfect world
We could both open up
And see the other side
And see the other side
So you go where you wanna be
They say it will set you free
You know it's never so
You go, you're on your way
On your way
On your way
On your way
The Helio Sequence's song "October" is an introspective track that speaks of the inevitability of change and the importance of keeping the past in mind while moving forward. The lyrics urge the listener to reflect on their past experiences and to learn from them, without ignoring the less favorable moments. The lines "keep in mind the last time, but don't ignore the worst" suggest that even though we might not like to revisit unpleasant memories, it's essential to acknowledge and address them, in order to grow and improve. The song seems to offer a message of hope and encourages optimism, even in the face of uncertainty. The phrase "there will be a next time" serves as a reminder that things will get better, that life is cyclical, and that every ending is the beginning of something new.
The chorus of the song is straightforward but potent. The repetition of the phrase "so you go go go if you wanna go, you stay stay stay well you never know" suggests a sense of motion and restlessness, while acknowledging the unpredictability of life. The lines "day day day will rise again, you know know know it will come again, it will come again" speaks of the inevitability of change, of the cyclical nature of life, and the hope that accompanies the idea of new beginnings. The song's second verse offers a glimmer of utopian idealism, as it speaks of a world without division, where people can see and understand each other's perspectives. The song's ending offers a sense of closure, as the listener is encouraged to "go where they want to be" and pursue personal freedom in their own way.

I'm very happy with how they progressed from young effectuals, I hope to hear something simular to So Stop! and Looked good (but you looked away) on this new album. Those songs are incredible for slow songs.
