| It's actually a cover. The original song was used more or less as soundtrack to the homonymous movie. | |

| I'm not sure if it is "blinding lights" either, since he's pretty much mumbling | |

| Bloc Party – So Here We Are Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I think this song may be about his relationship to his Roman Catholic parents (or just one of them). As most people here now, Kele is homosexual, which does not accord with the General Catholic thought. I am not yet sure about "I caught a glimpse but it's been forgotten" and "So here we are again", but I have some ideas which I will post later maybe. "I made a vow, to carry you home" as well as "If you fall sick, if you passed out" may express Kele's love to his father (I think he means him) even though they have many differences in their views how life (or something else) should be. "I really tried to do what you wanted / It all went wrong again" might mean that Kele tried to please his father by trying not to be as he is and oppressing his real feelings. Of course, he fails in doing this. I think that the end of this song is either super-ironic or I didn't get the song at all: "I figured it out / I can see again" "I figured it out" is an alteration for "I understand it now". He understood that being gay is "wrong" (according to the Catholic church). "I can see again" is another alteration for the same thing, but it has a reference to the bible (that part where Jesus heals that blind guy), so this made me understanding the whole song in the way I just explained. The last two lines are pure irony, because of course he didn't figure out that his homosexuality ("blindness" in the sense of an illness) is not wrong. The Kele which his father wanted would have done it. |

| It may not be the actual meaning tho. He could have said that just for fun. Why are there lines like "I really tried to do what you wanted / It all went wrong again" | |

| I mostly agree with boss_2k. I don't know why they took "Helicopter" as name for this song. | |
