| Foster the People – Helena Beat Lyrics | 12 years ago |

This. It's the only thing that makes sense in this song for me. The video is about a young guy trying to quit his habit and, while the process is painful for him, it's even worse for the people aroung (thus, why the guy gets older to get him younger). The references to drugs are plenty, "I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way" is a typical habit of heroin addicts, where they will tie themselves to solid structures so they don't fall down and faint after their doses... It's pretty said that they called this song "Helena Beat". though, from what I can see, he either did it because of a fellow junkie called Helena, or because of some nickname hte drug had for him... Either way, it's a really sad song, if you take it's context into it. |
