Helium Lyrics
I'm trying but I keep falling down
I cry out but nothing comes now
I'm giving my all and I know peace will come
I never wanted to need someone
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I wanted to play tough
Thought I could do all just on my own
But even Superwoman
Sometimes needed Superman's soul
[Chorus]
Help me out of this hell
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up when I'm down, down, down
When I've hit the ground
You're all I need
[Verse 2]
And if you let go I'll float towards the sun
I'm stronger 'cause you fill me up
But when the fear comes and I drift towards the ground
I am lucky that you're around
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I wanted to play tough
Thought I could do all just on my own
But even Superwoman
Sometimes needed Superman's soul
Help me out of this hell
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up when I'm down, down, down
When I've hit the ground
You're all I need
'Cause your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up like helium
[Bridge]
You lift me up and I am found
You lift me up before I hit the ground
You lift me up when I'm down, down, down
You lift me up before I hit the ground
You lift me up and I am found
You lift me up before I hit the ground
You lift me up when I'm down, down, down
You lift me up before I hit the ground!
[Chorus]
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up when I'm down, down, down
When I've hit the ground
You're all I need
'Cause your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up like helium
About
“Helium” is a song written and performed by Sia for the soundtrack of the movie Fifty Shades Darker
Unlike her past collaboration for the first movie, in which she used her lower range and whispery vocals like on her past works such as “Breathe Me”, Sia’s voice in “Helium” is clear and present over an instrumental with orchestral arrangement and vibrant harmonies.
The lyrics feature Sia’s signature empowerment sound, expressing how the love of a partner can help one overcome tough situations, lifting one up the way helium does with a balloon.
On 25th January 2018, a new remix of “Helium” featuring David Guetta and Afrojack was released to be featured in Sia’s MAC Cosmetics x VIVA GLAM campaign.
