Helpless
Avery Raquel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stars rise, sun falls
We fear, we stall
And everything stops

You’re by, my side
Your smile curves wide
And everything stops
I can’t hide

The willingness to keep you around
It’s bringing me down
Cause you're in my heart and on my mind
And love I find
Thinking isn’t good for the soul
That technique is old
I know

Oooo, hit me with those brown eyes
No matter how hard I try
Oooo, what if I told you that I’m helpless
Maybe even restless
Would you love me still?
Cuz I, I will
I will

Lay here with me
Patterns we breathe
And Everything stops
I can see

The rope pulled tight
Both filled with fright
And everything stops
You're in my sights

My fascination with your smile
I’m in denial
Cause you're in my heart and on my mind
And love I find
Dreaming could be good for the soul
Or so I’ve been told
I know

Oooo, hit me with those brown eyes
No matter how hard I try
Oooo what if I told you that I’m helpless
Maybe even restless
Would you love me still?
Cuz I, I will
I will, I will

Oooo, hit me with those brown eyes
No matter how hard I try
Oooo, told you that I’m helpless
Maybe even restless
Would you love me still?




Cuz I, I will
I will, I will

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Avery Raquel's "Helpless" paint a picture of the duality of the world with "stars rise, sun falls" as we fear and stall, and "everything stops." The lyrics then shift the focus to the presence of a partner, "you're by my side, your smile curves wide" and how everything stops - this is presented as a positive thing in contrast with the earlier fearful statements. However, as the song progresses, the singer begins to express a sense of helplessness when it comes to the feelings they have for their partner, "you're in my heart and on my mind, and love I find." The singer recognizes that thinking isn't good for the soul, but they are drawn to their partner regardless. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "hit me with those brown eyes," which seems to represent the point at which the singer realizes the full extent of their helplessness. The song concludes with a sense of acceptance, as the singer asks if their partner would still love them despite their helplessness.


"Helpless" is a song that explores the dichotomy between wanting control and giving into emotions. The lyrics suggest a struggle to grapple with the intense feelings of love that the singer has for their partner, culminating in the recognition that they are "helpless." The song’s powerful emotional punch is driven by Avery Raquel's soulful voice, which captures the depth and complexity of the lyrics. The songwriting is top-notch, with lyrics that are both poetic and profound. Ultimately, "Helpless" is a beautiful song that speaks to the heart and reminds us that sometimes, there's nothing we can do but give in to the passion that we feel.
