Gus Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause she, 'cause she helps me with my mind
People think I'm insane
Because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
Can you help me
Argue for my brain, oh yeah
Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but it's too late
Can you help me
Argue for my brain, woah yeah
The song "Paranoid" by Gus Black is about a man who is struggling with his mental health and having a hard time finding happiness and love. The first verse mentions his woman who helps him with his mind. He feels like people think he's crazy because he's frowning all the time. He thinks about things all day, but nothing seems to satisfy him. He is worried that he will lose his mind if he doesn't find something to pacify him.
In the second verse, he talks about how he cannot feel happiness and love is unreal to him. He wishes he could enjoy life but feels like it's too late for him. The chorus asks for help arguing for his brain. The last line asks the listener to enjoy life because the singer cannot.

An excellent acoustic version of the classic Black Sabbath's song...
Kicking with my woman cause she cause she helps me with my mind
People think that I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me?

You will laugh and I will cry
Happiness, I cannot feel

I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but its too late
Can you help me?
Are you for my brain?

I don’t care what time it is.
Life is an adventure of ups, downs, flips, corkscrews, hills, thrills, scares, flares, bears, snare drums, hurt, joy, decoys, liars, buyers, cryers, lust, busy, fail, success, distress, mess, vodka, whiskey, wine, time, lime, dine, grind, find, mind your own business, hope you have a witness, and living limitless.
Walk through fire, fight for your desire, build your own empire.
Haters will always hate, because they don’t love themself.
Lovers learned to love, because they’ve been through hell, found what’s worth it, and know when a person isn’t just a sell.
Humbled.
Goodnight. Are you real?
