Help Me
Carlton Jumel Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I'M AT THE END OF MY ROPE
I'M LOST AT SEA I'VE GIVEN UP HOPE
STIL I CLING TO THAT ONE BELIEF
THAT MAYBE YOUR LOVE CAN RESCUE ME
BRIDGE:
WELL IT LOOKS LIKE
I'M A FOOL IN LOVE
BUT MY HEART CANT RETURN
TO WHAT IT WAS
VERSE 2:
I CAN NO LONGER SEE THE LIGHT
I'LL THROW IN THE TOWEL I DON'T WANNA FIGHT
BUT I'D STILL LIKE TO HAVE JUST ONE MORE ROUND
I MAY BE LOST AT SEA BUT I REFUSE TO GO DOWN AND DROWN
BRIDGE:
BECAUSE THERE'S SOME THINGS IN THIS LIFE
WORTH LIVING FOR
HAVING ONCE HAD YOUR LOVE
I WANT MORE
PRE CHORUS:
IT'S GONNA TAKE A MIRACLE - MY WHOLE WORLD ENDED WITHOUT YOU,
IT'S GONNA TAKE A MIRACLE - MIRACLE.
CHORUS:
HELP ME SAVE ME FROM MYSELF - BECAUSE I DON'T WANT NOBODY ELSE
HELP ME SAVE ME FROM MYSELF - I CAN'T LOVE NOBDY ELSE
VERSE 2:
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'VE CHANGED MY MIND
I'M GOING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THIS THING
I'LL BE FINE
IN A MOMENT OF WEAKNESS
I, I ALMOST THREW IT ALL AWAY
BUT DAMMIT I'M GONNA LIVE TO LOVE ANOTHER DAY
BRIDGE:
SO YOU'D BETTER GET READY, GET READY FOR ME GIRL
I'M COMING IN STRONG TO SHAKE YOUR WORLD
OUTRO VAMP
IT'S GONNA TAKE A MIRACLE - TO KEEP ME AWAY FROM YOU
IT'S GONNA TAKE A MIRACLE - TO STOP MY NEXT MOVE
IT'S GONNA TAKE A MIRACLE - TO FIND ANOTHER BROTHER SO SMOOTH
IT'S GONNA TAKE A MIRACLE - WITHOUT YOU I'VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
I GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
AND I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU
The lyrics of Carlton Jumel Smith's song "Help Me" reflect a deep sense of desperation and longing for love and connection. The singer is at a breaking point, feeling lost and hopeless, but still holding on to the belief that love may be the key to their salvation. The image of being at the end of the rope and lost at sea conveys a sense of being overwhelmed and adrift, seeking a lifeline in the form of love.
The bridge emphasizes the singer's vulnerability and their willingness to be a "fool in love," despite the risk of heartache. The lyrics suggest that even though their heart may have been hurt in the past, they are unable to return to a state of indifference and long for the transformative power of love to bring them back to life.
As the lyrics progress, there is a shift in perspective towards resilience and determination. The singer acknowledges their struggles and the darkness they are facing, but refuses to give up without a fight. They express a desire for one more chance, a final round to prove that they are capable of overcoming the challenges they are confronted with.
The pre-chorus and chorus highlight the singer's plea for help and salvation from their own self-destructive tendencies. The repeated refrain of needing a miracle underscores the magnitude of the difficulties they are facing and their realization that they cannot find fulfillment or love elsewhere. The desperation in these lines conveys a sense of urgency and a plea for intervention.
Ultimately, the song concludes with a sense of renewed strength and determination. The singer declares a decision to push through their struggles and live to love another day. The outro vamp reinforces the sentiment that only a miracle can keep them away from the object of their affection, highlighting the deep connection and need for that person in their life. The lyrics paint a complex portrait of emotional turmoil, resilience, and the enduring power of love to provide hope and redemption in the face of adversity.
