I can see how this part may be interpreted in a romantic relationship or friendship context, but i truly believe these lyrics are about loss. ' i guess i want you more than i thought i did now that i know that part of you's at home with him i guess i want you more than i thought i did now that i know that part of you's not part of this.' The first chorus has some very heart wrenching lines. i will say that this bit seems to lean towards hints of homosexuality, with 'i'm falling now and it feels so wrong, you talk like a man and taste like the sun.' I'm going to skip over the pre-chorus because it's not quite my place to assess dave's interpersonal relationships and whether joe is tied to it or not. i find it hard to believe its a coincidence. but if you listen very closely to the track, immediately following those lyrics is a muffled motorcycle type/automobile noise in the background. It seems like a bit of a stretch at this point. joe has also been referred to as the 'miracle man' and i recall seeing a piece of artwork created by one of joe's friends that depicted him with wings following the accident. '909' is apparently referred to as an 'angel number.' it means something along the lines that a massive change is taking place, but there's a reason for it.

To start, the giveaway (in my opinion) is at the very beginning of the track.

now this is still all simply interpretation of the track from my perspective lyrics are obviously a subjective matter that may hold their own meaning from person to person. I figured i'd type a little jingle out since i haven't really seen anyone point some stuff out yet concerning the lyrics to helium.
