Helium (feat. X Ambassadors)

A song is like an alarm bell, only instead of ringing, it's a drip of emotions to the beat. Here, love is not butterflies, but withdrawal. Not wine under a blanket, but cold sweat and a phone that is silent again.

Everything sounds on the edge: between ‘I really need it’ and ‘I need treatment.’ When feelings get mixed up with symptoms, and messages are repeated over and over, it's as if in ‘one more’ someone will finally respond like a human being. But no.

It's like a rap song about addiction, only instead of a substance, it's a person. There is lightness, but it has a taste of panic. And while some listen and nod to the rhythm, others recognise it as a diagnosis.
