Help Me
Lena and the Deep Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
The lyrics to Lena and the Deep Soul's song Help Me express a deep desire for comfort and companionship through a difficult time. The first verse paints a sensual picture of intimacy, with the singer asking their partner to undo their hair and let it fall over their skin. In the second verse, the singer pleads for their partner to stay with them through the night, not asking for anything material, just their time. The chorus is where the singer relinquishes control, stating that they don't care about who's right or wrong, and they don't even try to understand why they need someone at this moment, they just do. They wish to temporarily forget about tomorrow's troubles and seek solace in the present.
The final verse ties everything together with a sense of loneliness, where the singer expresses sadness at the thought of being alone. Through this vulnerable admission, it is clear that the message of the song is about needing human connection and the solace it can provide. The chorus repeats, further emphasizing the theme of asking for help and vulnerability.
