Please Help Me
A.M. Architect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was this your price to pay
You can't deny these bloodshot eyes
A new beginning to a new delay
Well these mornings are the worst though
Will there be mourning for me
Last night's highs followed by tomorrow's lows
A newfound sense of urgency
Oh such a tragedy
Cut loose with nothing to choose
In and out of apathy
Lately where's your heart been
Are you still going for gold
Despite the case well it's all out of phase
Where's that drive
That Gusto
Touch of Bold
And your stake is problematic
Sporadic in despondency
You are the tides that the levee's denied
Grasping for complacency
Just a bit over dramatic
Oh such a tragedy
Cut loose with nothing to choose
In and out of apathy
You can fall into the mold but they wont care about you
Drop dead as their martyr and they wont care about you
I'm done pursuing other faceless men's interest now
I'm just here until I'm not
Just a bit over dramatic
Oh such a tragedy
Cut loose with nothing to choose
In and out of apathy
In "Please Help Me," A.M. Architect explores themes of personal struggle, loss of motivation, and the search for meaning. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who was once successful or admired but has now hit rock bottom. The line "Brought down in your heyday, was this your price to pay" suggests that this person's downfall may have been a consequence of their previous success or high expectations placed upon them.
The mention of "bloodshot eyes" and "newfound sense of urgency" hints at a state of exhaustion and burnout. The individual experiences the worst mornings, possibly filled with regret or a lack of purpose. The contrast between "last night's highs followed by tomorrow's lows" suggests a cycle of fleeting moments of happiness followed by disappointment.
The lyrics also express frustration at the lack of direction or drive in the person's life. The lines "Just a bit over dramatic, oh such a tragedy, cut loose with nothing to choose, in and out of apathy" convey a sense of being stuck in a cycle of indifference and indecision. The singer questions where their passion and enthusiasm have gone, and whether they can still strive for success.
The chorus highlights the feeling of being overlooked or disregarded by others. The lines "You can fall into the mold but they won't care about you, drop dead as their martyr and they won't care about you" suggest a sense of insignificance or being taken for granted. The singer expresses a desire to break free from the expectations and interests of others, and to pursue their own goals and desires.
Overall, "Please Help Me" delves into the emotional turmoil and internal conflict faced by someone who feels lost, disconnected, and searching for a sense of purpose. The lyrics capture the struggle of finding a path forward and the yearning for recognition and support.
Line by Line Meaning
Brought down in your heyday
Your downfall happened during your prime
Was this your price to pay
Did you have to sacrifice something for this?
You can't deny these bloodshot eyes
It's impossible to ignore the exhaustion and pain
A new beginning to a new delay
Starting fresh, but encountering another setback
Well these mornings are the worst though
These mornings are particularly difficult
Will there be mourning for me
Will anyone grieve for me?
Last night's highs followed by tomorrow's lows
After experiencing happiness, there's an impending sadness
A newfound sense of urgency
A sudden realization of the need for action
Just a bit over dramatic
Being slightly overly theatrical
Oh such a tragedy
Oh, what a sad situation
Cut loose with nothing to choose
Having no options or decisions to make
In and out of apathy
Frequently alternating between indifference and disinterest
Lately where's your heart been
Where has your passion gone recently?
Are you still going for gold
Are you still striving for success?
Despite the case well it's all out of phase
Although the circumstances may suggest differently, everything feels disconnected
Where's that drive
That Gusto
Touch of Bold
Where has that motivation and enthusiasm gone?
And your stake is problematic
Your position or investment is causing problems
Sporadic in despondency
Experiencing random periods of feeling hopeless
You are the tides that the levee's denied
You represent the natural forces that have been prevented or held back
Grasping for complacency
Seeking a sense of contentment or satisfaction
You can fall into the mold but they wont care about you
You can conform to societal expectations, but they won't show any concern for you
Drop dead as their martyr and they wont care about you
Even if you die as a martyr for their cause, they won't show any care
I'm done pursuing other faceless men's interest now
I've finished chasing the desires of unknown individuals
I'm just here until I'm not
I'm present for now, but that may change soon
Just a bit over dramatic
Being slightly overly theatrical
Oh such a tragedy
Oh, what a sad situation
Cut loose with nothing to choose
Having no options or decisions to make
In and out of apathy
Frequently alternating between indifference and disinterest
