The song is about Charles Manson and the family. Charles Manson convinced his followers that he was some sort of messianic figure and that if they did what he told they would survive the coming holocaust, which he called helter skelter after a Beatles song. Among his followers was Susan Atkins aka Sadie Mae. Sometimes they would sign "Helter Skelter" with their victims' blood.
