Helpless
Gwyllion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See me wandering, in the darkest deep of shadows
The world above so bright, my dearest enemy
Where once lived happiness, where sorrow couldn't bear
But I am drowning here, too far to even care

See me wandering, alone and cold and bare
My deepest memories, no grief, no sadness there
It's dark and cold in here, in this forgotten lair
Loneliness prevails, how could I ever dare

I can't pray for mercy, 'cause there's no soul to hear
So I stay here, helpless, in my remains of sense
There's no place for regret, 'cause only I am here
So I remain helpless, behind this solid fence

Hear me muttering, of long forgotten times
My head is bursting, with long and brutal chimes
Still can see the past, a road enclosed by limes
But haunting through my head, are black, distorted rhymes

Hear me muttering, about my dreadful debt
I can't remember why, so long my soul has slept
Immortal, my regret, endless have I wept
No tears will wash away, the secret I have kept

I can't pray for mercy, 'cause there's no soul to hear
So I stay here, helpless, in my remains of sense
There's no place for regret, 'cause only I am here
So I remain helpless, behind this solid fence

Can't you see why I am weeping,
Can't you see that I repent?
No one knows the pain that I feel,
No one knows just what I meant

Years will come and years will pass but
I can't leave this unlocked cell
Leaves will grow and leaves will fall but
Endless is this living hell

There's no soul that lives in darkness,
No soul knows eternal pain but
My soul will forever perish,
Evermore 'till I'm insane

I can't pray for mercy, 'cause there's no soul to hear
So I stay here, helpless, in my remains of sense




There's no place for regret, 'cause only I am here
So I remain helpless, behind this solid fence

There's nobody here to judge me, nobody to feel sorry for me, nobody to share my regrets with


So I remain helpless, behind this solid fence
I'm forever isolated, imprisoned behind the solid fence of my own mind


Hear me muttering, of long forgotten times
I'm so lost that all I have left are long forgotten memories that I can't seem to shake


My head is bursting, with long and brutal chimes
My thoughts are so overwhelming and chaotic that they feel like long and brutal chimes ringing in my head


Still can see the past, a road enclosed by limes
Despite the chaos in my mind, I can still see clear memories from my past, memories that seem to be enclosed by a bright green line of limes


But haunting through my head, are black, distorted rhymes
Along with those clear memories are haunting, black, and distorted rhymes that seem to overwhelm me and take over my mind


I can't remember why, so long my soul has slept
My mind is so lost that I can't even remember why I ended up here in the first place


Immortal, my regret, endless have I wept
My regret is so strong that it feels like it will live on forever, and I can't seem to stop crying because of it


No tears will wash away, the secret I have kept

Can't you see why I am weeping,
I wish someone could understand why I'm crying so much


Can't you see that I repent?
I wish someone could see that I'm truly sorry for whatever happened to end up in my current state


No one knows the pain that I feel,
I'm so alone that nobody can truly understand the level of pain I'm in


No one knows just what I meant
I can't even find the words to express what I truly meant by whatever happened to cause this pain


Years will come and years will pass but
I'm stuck here, unable to change my circumstances, as year after year passes me by


I can't leave this unlocked cell
I'm trapped behind these bars, unable to set myself free


Leaves will grow and leaves will fall but
Even as the seasons change, I know that I'll still be stuck here in this never-ending cycle of misery


Endless is this living hell
This living hell feels like it will go on and on forever


There's no soul that lives in darkness,
I'm so far gone that I feel like my soul has left me, and the darkness that surrounds me is all that's left


No soul knows eternal pain but
I'm in so much pain that I doubt anyone else could ever truly understand how much I'm suffering


My soul will forever perish,
I feel like my soul is dying every day, and I don't know how much longer I can keep going


Evermore 'till I'm insane
I'm so lost and alone that I feel like all that's left for me is to go insane
