Upon the band's formation, they released one extended play (EP) in 2007, titled This Is Your Way Out, and shortly after, the group underwent significant line-up and sound changes, dropping their metalcore influence and leaning towards a more rock sound. The band released their debut studio album, Relativity (2008), which featured vocalist Jonny Craig and rhythm guitarist Jonas Ladekjaer. Their second studio album, Emarosa, was released in June 2010, to critical acclaim, and was Craig's final album with the group.
Following Craig's departure, the band toured briefly with a fill-in vocalist before entering a period of inactivity. Eventually, Craig was formally replaced by Walden. Emarosa then released their third studio album, Versus, on September 9, 2014, which peaked at No. 61 in the Billboard 200. The band signed to Hopeless Records and released their fourth and fifth studio albums, 131 (2016) and Peach Club (2019). A sixth, Sting, is set for release in January 2023.

Helpless
Emarosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
for the man you think you owe
you never had nobody
and I can't let you go
because I know you're mine
I know you're mine
no, no, no
if your body's broken love your heart is helpless, helpless
if your body's broken love your heart is helpless, helpless
you know, I know, oh
in the bed you say you love it
I know you're losing hope
you never had nobody
but you can't be too tough
and I know you're mine
I know you're mine
no, no, no
if your body's broken love your heart is helpless, helpless
I know that you know
if your body's broken love your heart is helpless, helpless
you know, I know
if your body's broken love your heart is helpless, helpless
and I know you know
if your body's broken love your heart is helpless, helpless
you know, I know
and I guess we're gonna make it after all
if your body's broken love your heart is helpless, helpless
I know that you know
if your body's broken love your heart is helpless, helpless
you know, I know
if your body's broken love your heart is helpless, helpless
you know, you know
if your body's broken love your heart is helpless, helpless
you know, I know!
The lyrics to Emarosa's song "Helpless" dive deep into the idea of love and how it can be the only thing that helps you when you feel broken. The lines "Are you saving up your money for the man you think you owe, you never had nobody" suggest that the person the song is addressing may be troubled and feel indebted to someone. However, the singer acknowledges that they cannot let this person go because they know that they belong together. The repetition of "I know you're mine" emphasizes the singer's conviction in their relationship.
The chorus is where the theme of the song becomes clear. "If your body's broken love your heart is helpless" implies that physical healing may not always suffice, but love may be the answer to overcoming emotional pain. This is reiterated in the lines "in the bed you say you love it, I know you're losing hope" which highlight the importance of being there for someone in their times of need. The overall message of the song is that love has the power to heal and that even in times of hardship, the singer and the person they are addressing will make it through together.

This video is so incredibly thoughtful in my opinion. I love how Bradley controls her moves but yet she's trying to resist and fight it at moments but then other ones she's just giving in. Almost like she's helpless.
