Help
Flight Risk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'm slowly breaking down
I can hear a ringing in my ears
Can't seem to drown it out
I'm asking for help
And I'm scared there's no one else
I tend to keep bending and breaking parts of me
Until there's none left for myself
And I keep falling short
Nothing seems to matter anymore
I don't like myself
Yea I hate my mind
Cause over thinking is a torture by its own design
I don't feel so well
And I might've got too high
Cause I don't like my own mind
I'm asking for help
So many faces lost
Words spoke with fingers crossed
There's still a ringing in my ears
Can't seem to drown enough
I'm so scared there's no one else
I tend to keep bending and breaking parts of me
Until there's none left for myself
Yea life keeps rolling on and on and on and on
And nothing seems to matter anymore
I don't like myself
Yea I hate my mind
Cause over thinking is a torture by its own design
I don't feel so well
And I might've got too high
Cause I don't like my own mind
I've made a lot of mistakes
And I ran from my troubles
No turning back cause I'm going in circles
I just can't drown you out
I've made a lot of mistakes
And I ran from my troubles
No turning back cause I'm going in circles
I just can't drown you out
Yea life keeps rolling on
And I keep falling short
And nothing seems to matter anymore
I don't like myself
Yea I hate my mind
Cause over thinking is a torture by its own design
I don't feel so well
And I might've got too high
Cause I don't like my own mind

The opening lines depict a gradual breakdown, both physically and mentally, as the singer can hear a persistent ringing in their ears that they cannot escape. They express a deep longing for help, but there is a fear that no one else will understand or be able to provide the support they desperately need.
The lyrics also highlight the singer's tendency to self-destruct and lose pieces of themselves in the process. They feel trapped in a cycle of bending and breaking, to the point where they feel there is nothing left for themselves. Life continues to move forward, but the singer feels like they are constantly falling short, unable to find purpose or significance in anything anymore.
The song explores a deep dissatisfaction with oneself, particularly the singer's dislike and even hatred towards their own mind. Overthinking becomes a form of torture, as it consumes their thoughts and emotions. The singer also admits to not feeling well, possibly suggesting a struggle with mental health or substance abuse. They acknowledge that they might have reached a point of being too high, both literally and metaphorically, and they no longer enjoy or connect with their own mind.
Amidst the inner turmoil, the singer reflects on the mistakes they have made and the way they have tried to escape their troubles. However, there is a sense of hopelessness in being unable to turn back or break free from the cyclical patterns they find themselves in. The ringing in their ears remains, symbolic of the unresolved emotional pain that cannot be drowned out.
Overall, "Help" portrays the singer's desperate cry for assistance and their battle with self-identity, dissatisfaction, and the weight of their own thoughts and experiences.
