Helpless
Axty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taken
Just waiting for the life to end
Finding love in the blood that you bleed
Turning pain into light that can make you see
These eyes, forever taken
This life, forever lost in the deep
I am lost
Taken
Just waiting for the life to end
I can't hate, love, cry, I have sunk so deep
Fading, disappearing into open sea
No cross, no crown
No pain, no glory, no palm
I am lost
Taken
Just waiting for the life to end
Time goes by and I can't stand
I'm stuck and helpless
Choken
Broken
This
Is
The End
I am lost
Taken
Just waiting for the life
I am lost
Taken
Just waiting for the life to end
Time goes by and I can't stand
I'm stuck and helpless
Helpless

"Finding love in the blood that you bleed, turning pain into light that can make you see" suggests that by embracing their pain, they can find a way to see clearly again.
The chorus repeats the sentiment of being lost and powerless, "time goes by and I can't stand, I'm stuck and helpless," which only adds to the sense of despair. The bridge of the song, "choken, broken, this is the end" further strengthens the sense of hopelessness, conveying that there is no way out of this situation.
Overall, the theme of Helpless is one of despair and hopelessness. The singer is feeling overwhelmed and trapped, with only pain and suffering to find any sense of meaning. The song conveys a sense of raw emotion that is relatable to anyone who has ever felt lost and hopeless.
