So, he leaves her, but has no intention to get into a serious relationship with Helena. Helena feels sympathy for the other girl because she now realizes this guy is just a jerk, and he admits that he's a jerk. "Guys like me never sleep alone at night." "I never really liked hearts anyway," meaning he never really likes getting into serious relationships. He says each of them will be just fine by themselves in time.
Cute video, but I see it differently. When he says, "while I was playing for fun, you were playing for keeps," meaning he thought Helena is cute and sexy and everything that goes with it-- but he was never serious about having a relationship with her. However, she was completely in love with him, and thought he felt the same way. Through all this, he has fallen out of love with his true girlfriend, and thinks maybe flinging with Helena will give him a reason to leave her. (contin'd...)
The story is actually he falls in love with Helena while they were having a fling but he falls for her and she gets over him (aka by playing for fun he wasn't trying to woo her and by playing for keeps she makes him fall for him), so he gets with another girl but she comes back and wants him so he leaves his girl but then she decides she doesn't want him anymore so he gives up on her and forgets the other girl because he never cared about her.. So now he's heartbroken but he's telling her not to
Wow. That was weird, I was looking at "Helena" by My Chemical Romance and I see this in the other videos box, and I think to myself "Oh, hey. Maybe it's a cute little cartoon lyrics video" And then I heard the song and I think its cute. I like it, but MCR has the best song.
@simlover147 Same for me... lol. I saw the Helena (MCR one) cover pic and Gerard was on the ground but for some reason he was on a wall and I'm like "huh? Since when was this part of the video?" And so the whole vid I stared at Gerard. Oops. That was irrelevant. :) And I agree. They did make the best song.
I love the way you did it! I've made a video myself for this song, and I stll love yours! This is suposed to be a sad song, but you made it somehow cute....
awesome vid for this song! i can tell you put alot of time into it. only thing i personally would have done differently is not put all the lyrics up. maybe some of the lyrics would be ok for the slides that wouldn't be understandable w/o them in the frame but seeing the lyrics up there took away from the feeling in the song a bit in my opinion. that, or flashing words as their spoken would be good too. actually i think my main peeve w/ the lyrics is that some of them came on b4 they were sung
Hi, I just wanted to say this video was awesome! The song is great too =) I was just searching up Helena. I didn't want MCR's version because I don't really like it and it's the only thing I really find, so when I found this I almost fell off my chair...=P
It's pretty weird. I had this friend named Helena (She was a foreign exchange student from Denmark) And I had a guy friend that got into the same situation as the guy in the song with her. My friend wasn't to smart, Because Helena was pretty amazing :)
could somebody explain to me what this song is about...i listened to the lyrics and tried to figure it out, i have a theory about what it is about but i dont know if i am right...anybody?
n_n This is really cute! It sounds like a lot of people found this video while looking for the My Chemical Romance song. Haha, My Chem is my favourite band, and I happen to be one of the few who happened upon this song accidentally. It's really, really cute, though! I wanted to cry a little...:3 Good video too, by the way! Liked ^_-
Oh my gosh duuude I looove Chris Thile's voice!! I wish Nickelcreek hadn't broke up... my favorite band has got to be a toss up between them and Cadillac Sky.
Very nicely done, I especially love how you flash through slides quickly in the end. You got the meaning of the lyrics right, nice! One of my favorite Nickel Creek songs. I know exactly how that guy feels.
Nickel Creek is one of my favorite bands, and "Helena" is one of my favorites of theirs! Very cute video; I love the creativity during the instrumental parts. Thanks for this!
welll its playing rite????? then it is a real song..........wat kind of question is that????? A song is a metrical composition intended or adapted for singing, especially one in rhymed stanzas; a lyric; a ballad ...therfore this is a song!!!! welll if u ment if this band is mainstream or not...they r not
whoa this song makes so much more sense now! awesome vid, sweet song! i love towards the end when the music gets really big and you flash the different scenes so fast... it works perfectly
I'm pretty sure most coming here thought it would be MCR, but when it wasn't, I didn't care. I have never heard this song, it's beautiful. I love the lyrics, it's a wonderful song. So, thank you for unintentionally tricking me into listening to it, :)
This is the best lyric video I have seen on YouTube ever. Thanks for taking the extra time to make it elaborate!
