Help
Jake Bellows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wait, don't go
I'll keep you on the street
That straight and narrow
With all my friends
There's another kind of love that keeps you
Swingin' in the park
Not from the trees
In the breeze
In the dark

Ain't no god gave me answers that I could tell
I'm pushin through these dancers
I wanna yell
I'm runnin' to the throne I'm screamin but I'm all alone

I miss you
I miss you

Ain't no god gave me answers that I could tell
I'm pushin through these dancers
I wanna yell
I'm runnin' to the throne I'm screamin but I'm all alone

I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you




I miss you
I miss you

Overall Meaning

In Jake Bellows's song Help, the lyrics create a feeling of longing and loneliness. The opening lines "Wait, don't go, I'll keep you on the street" express a desire to maintain a connection with someone. However, the following lines "That straight and narrow, with all my friends" suggest the singer's desire for stability and social connections. The song then shifts to a description of a different kind of love, one that "keeps you Swingin' in the park, Not from the trees, In the breeze, In the dark." This new love seems to represent a version of freedom and excitement that is missing from the singer's life.


The chorus repeats the lines "Ain't no god gave me answers that I could tell, I'm pushin' through these dancers, I wanna yell, I'm runnin' to the throne, I'm screamin' but I'm all alone." The lyrics suggest a feeling of being lost and searching for answers, and a frustration with feeling like no one is listening. The repeated phrase "I miss you" adds to this sense of longing, but it is unclear who or what exactly the singer misses.


Overall, Help conveys a complex mix of emotions - a desire for stability and love, a longing for freedom and excitement, a feeling of being lost and searching, and a sense of loneliness and isolation.

Albeit mildly concerning, there's beauty in relating so much to someone's suffering. It's incredibly comforting to feel less alone. I love this stuff.

I've probably listened to this song about 50 times in the last week, and I am not even close to sick of it.
