Help Me
H.P. Riot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holdin' onto words I ain't said yet
I'm bitter, sorry, I just can't see
You with someone that isn't me
You should know I've been tryna find my peace
I know it's difficult being with me
But I just wanna love you this way
And you just make it so hard for me
But you can't help me
You can't help me
Sorry that I've been yelling in your face
I know you hate when I speak to you this way
I lost my patience, losing control
Turned into someone I don't know
Know I got my shit and you got yours too
And all my problems I tried to put on you
I'm singing 'cause I'm done screaming out
I can't blame you for all my doubts
You can't help me
You can't help me
You can't help me
Can't help me
Can't help me
Can't help me
You can't help me
The lyrics to H.P. Riot's song "Help Me" express a sense of frustration, confusion, and internal struggle within a relationship. The singer is apologizing for being mentally preoccupied and not expressing their true feelings, causing bitterness and a lack of clarity. They acknowledge that it is challenging to be with them, but despite that, they just want to love the other person in their own way. However, they feel that the other person makes it difficult for them to do so.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that the other person cannot help the singer. This could mean that the issues they are facing are deeply personal and internal, and cannot be resolved solely by the support and assistance of another person. The singer recognizes that they have been acting out and losing control of their emotions, causing conflict within the relationship. They also highlight the presence of their own problems and insecurities that they have been projecting onto the other person. The repeated phrase "You can't help me" further reinforces the idea that the resolution lies within the singer themselves, rather than relying solely on external support.
