Help
Blackbear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately, I've been thinking 'bout checking myself into rehab
Woof
And lately, I've been drinking too much sniffing yak out a dimebag
Woah Oh
I've been taking these pills that this doctor prescribed
But they don't get me high like they used to
And maybe it's time for divine intervention
But fuck it, I'll die how I want to

How I want to, how I want to
Get high if I want to
Fly where I want to, I do
What I want to
Take your girl if I want to
Fuck her how you want to
I do

whatever it is I wish to
Yeah,

Lately, I've been waking up to these sounds of these sirens and gunshots
Woof
And lately, I've been going to sleep with my head fucking pounding,
Ow
I've been taking my time with these women around

Cause I don't fucking doubt
They want babies

And maybe it's time to go check myself in
But fuck it, I'll die going crazy
How I want to
Like we all do
Get high if I want to
Fly where I want to, I do
What I want to

Take your girl if I want to
Fuck her how you want to

I do
Whatever it is I wish to
I, I do
Whatever I want to
Oh yeah

What's up, Bear?
I've been worrying about you lately, man
I was lookin' at some of your pictures
You was lookin' a little crazy, man
Your eyes was hazy, man
And it's cool to have fun
But maybe think for just once
How your girl would feel if she lost her baby, man
You know, we need you 'round for a while
You really make fly music

I used to hide my pain in drugs
I hope that's not what you're doin'
You should maybe try somethin' different
Other than prescriptions
Like findin' religion or designin' a vision
It's your decision
Like we all do
Get high if I want to, fly where I want to

(I'm worried about you Bear)
I do what I want to
Take your girl if I want to
Fuck her how you want to
I do
Whatever it is I wish to
I, I do




Whatever I want to
Oh yeah

Overall Meaning

In Blackbear's song "Help," he openly discusses his struggles with substance abuse and addiction. He ponders the idea of seeking help by checking himself into rehab, but ultimately decides to continue living and dying how he wants to. He acknowledges that the pills prescribed by his doctor are no longer providing the same high they once did and that he's been drinking and snorting drugs to cope. Blackbear also mentions his fear of losing the women he's with, who he thinks want to have babies, and the violence he hears outside in the form of sirens and gunshots.


The chorus of the song is a declaration of his autonomy and independence. He states that he will get high, fly, and do whatever he wants, including taking another person's partner and having sex with them. He acknowledges that his behavior may be destructive but ultimately decides that it's his life and his decision.


The verses also feature a friend expressing concern for Blackbear's well-being and urging him to think about the impact of his actions on others. However, Blackbear seems to reject the advice and insists that he will make his own decisions, whether they are good or bad.


Overall, "Help" is a raw and honest portrayal of the struggles of addiction and the difficulties of coming to terms with one's choices and their consequences.

Lately, I've been thinking 'bout checking myself into rehab, woof
And lately, I've been drinking too much
Sniffing yak out a dimebag

But fuck it, I'll die how I want to

How I want to, how I want to
