about

Helen was inspired by a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe called, “To Helen.” The Dye’s “Helen” is an ode to the beauty of women and femininity. Helen’s beauty is compared to a wandering sea and a star expanding in the fading fire of night. It’s a deeply romantic song about love and the power of human connection. “Helen, don't tell me that I’m going to die before I paint your eye”, is a metaphor for changing one’s existence through falling deeply in love with another person. This relationship changes the way romantic lovers perceive life and shapes their vision of the world. They learn to appreciate life and it’s futility through the intensity of their connection. The actual moment of their spiritual or sexual union, the narrator and Helen, becomes an explosion in the skies of night. The tone of the track is somber, yet filled with the glow of atmospheric guitars and synths that resemble the waves of the ocean. It is one of the most cinematographic pieces of this album.
