Help Me
Nick Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish I could define all the thoughts that cross my mind,
this angel begged for me to choose.
I don't even know which ones to lose
when I've fallen down so far
I think I'll never see your light, oh bouncin' off of me shinin' down here from you eyes.
(chorus)
Help me make the right decisions between right and wrong, weak or strong, day and night, where I belong.
Help me make the right decisions, know which way to turn, Lessons to learn and just what my purpose is here.
(Verse 2)
Its like I got the signals crossed with messages I can't decode.
Half asleep, never wide awake ya' know.
Complete overload and I got so much information here and nothing I can really grasp. I should know the truth but I'm too afraid so I have to ask.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Oh want to know you and more than anything,
I need you in every dream you're there for me. You love me for who I am. No Angel, just an ordinary man.
(Verse 3)
Help me figure out why I'm stuck in the middel trying to understand why I can't. Why's it such a riddle. Got my eyes crossed. Thinking so hard but I know I'm missing the mark. Can you help me sort out all the information? I'm just wrecking my brain, paying attention but I'm still lost and at all cost I...I...I gotta know...gotta know!
(Chorus) Add-lib
(Verse 3)
In Nick Carter's song "Help Me," the first verse talks about the singer's inability to define or understand the thoughts that cross his mind as he is faced with the decision-making process. He expresses uncertainty about which decision to make, and it feels like he has fallen so far that he can never see the light. He talks about the angel's plea for him to choose which of his thoughts to dismiss.
The chorus of the song is a plea to be helped make the correct decisions between right and wrong, weak or strong, and day or night, with a better understanding of where he belongs in the world. He asks for guidance to help him know which way to turn, identify lessons to learn, and understand what his purpose in life is.
The third verse reflects the singer's frustration at being stuck in the middle and his struggle to decode the messages sent to him. Everything appears to be too much to decipher, and he finds himself thinking too hard but still not making any headway. He asks for the help of someone who can assist him in sorting out the information overload he is experiencing.
