Old-fashioned, piano-slapping rock & roll with a drunk-ass punk-rock spirit – like Jerry Lee Lewis if he'd had his first religious experience at a Replacements show. You can practically smell the Yuengling coming off this skunky, slippery ode to lowbrow kicks from Philly to the South Side of Chicago.
Help Me
Low Cut Connie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be a good man
Baby, help me
To be kind
'Cause I'm movin'
In the wrong direction
I got bad things on my mind
Like a scarecrow
With all my insides fallin' out
Like a wolfman
Like an alien
Like the people you don't have to think about
And they told me
To be joyful
But I'm freaked out by the sound
Walkin' sideways
Up the staircase
I fall right back to the ground
Lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up to the sun
One time
Lift me up
Lift me up
Let me be the chosen one
Before I come undone
When the Lord
The Lord gets bored
He comes knockin' at my door
And he says, "Buddy
You're a bad man
Ya got to work for your reward"
And I took it
Like a slingshot
And it shook me to the core
In the middle of a nightmare
Cryin' mercy
Lyin' face-down on the floor
Lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up to the sun
One time
Lift me up
Lift me up
Let me be the chosen one
Before I come undone
I said one time
Help me (help me)
Help me
The song Help Me by Low Cut Connie is a cry for help from the singer who seems to be in a dark place. The singer is asking their lover to help them be a good man and be kind because they feel like they are moving in the wrong direction with bad things on their mind. The imagery used in the lyrics creates a sense of disconnection from oneself and society. The singer feels like they are hanging like a scarecrow with all their insides falling out, like a wolfman or an alien, like the people we don't have to think about. In other words, they feel like they're on the fringes of society and not fully accepted.
The lyrics show a struggle with mental health and acceptance, as the singer feels freaked out by the sound of being joyful, walking sideways up the staircase and falling back to the ground. They want someone to lift them up and be their savior, "Let me be the chosen one before I come undone." The Lord comes knocking at the door, telling the singer they're a bad man and have to work for their reward, which shakes them to the core, leaving them crying mercy, lying face-down on the floor.
Overall, Help Me is a powerful song with poignant lyrics that touch on universal themes of struggle and the need for help. It shows the power of seeking help and the importance of mental health awareness and support.

Pleading for guidance to display kindness
'Cause I'm movin'
In the wrong direction
I got bad things on my mind
Acknowledging that thoughts and actions are veering towards negativity
And I m hangin'
Like a scarecrow
With all my insides fallin' out
Feeling exposed and vulnerable
Like a wolfman
Like an alien
Like the people you don't have to think about
Identifying with society's outcasts and misunderstood individuals
And they told me
To be joyful
But I'm freaked out by the sound
Struggling to find happiness amidst the chaos
Walkin' sideways
Up the staircase
I fall right back to the ground
Experiencing setbacks and difficulties in progress
Lift me up

Lift me up to the sun
One time
Requesting assistance to rise above the negativity and reach a better place

Desiring to be rescued before things get worse
When the Lord
The Lord gets bored
He comes knockin' at my door
Feeling like life is overwhelming and God is testing them
And he says, "Buddy
You're a bad man
Ya got to work for your reward"
Believing that they have failed to be good and must strive for redemption
And I took it
Like a slingshot
And it shook me to the core
Reacting strongly to the realization of their negative actions
In the middle of a nightmare
Cryin' mercy
Lyin' face-down on the floor
Feeling overwhelmed and helpless
I said one time
Help me (help me)
Help me
A plea for help and support
