Helena was is his dead grandma but her real name's elena.The albums dedicated to her and someone else. I think the albums concept is he want's to bring her back to life so much so,he'd kill a thousand men for this as a deal with the devil.
here's my interpretaion.....
"Oh baby here comes the sound!
I took a train outta New Orleans and they shot me full of ephedrine."-This set's the scene.Maybe she was overdosed on ephedrine?
"This is how we like to do it in the murder scene.
Can we settle up the score?"-Hence my overdoes theory.the doctor gave her too much and she died.Gerrars asking the devil this.he wants some kind of deal to bring her back .
"If you were here,
I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
(You're beautiful.) "-He get's the fact that everyone dies but he obviously wishes she didn't have to.He's saying this to her.
"Well I'm a total wreck and almost every day.
Like the firing squad or the mess you made.
Well don't I look pretty walking down the street.
In the best damn dress I own?"-He's so stressed out by this.The mess is the deal-all the men he's killing.He's angry at her for all of what he's going through so he's taking the piss out of her in a moment of rage.
"If you were here,
I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You’re so far away.
So c’mon show me how.
‘Cause I mean this more than words can ever say."-he's sorry for getting angry and he's just trying to explain how he feels.
"We are, made from the sharpest things you’d say.
We are young and we don't care.
Your dreams and your hopeless hair.
-the sharp things are his broken pieces.It hurt him when she said stuff about how awful the younger generation are when she got angry with him for something.perhaps she disaproved of his long hair?
"We never wanted it to be this way.
For all our lives.
Do you care at all?"-this is where i'm unsure.they might have had a row and he never got to appologise 'cos she died or this is him taking the piss again out of frustration.Does she get what he's going through?is it worth the effort?
The only thing i don't get is why gerrard said it's about teenage pregnancy andkids being the future.He might have wanted us all to think about the meaning or he felt vunerable with his emotions on show to millions.
