No, you were much much much closer before... and some of the explanations you gave in your earlier post were spot on, but not all. I don't really know how to put this without giving too much away, but the individual lines should be taken quite literally and the whole riddle more generally.
And helmets (although not the one you mention) do have something to do with it.
