Heavy
Maroon 5 featuring PJ Morton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It feels like it's getting a little too heavy
Everything is breaking down on me, ooh, ooh
Can I get somebody to help me?
'Cause everything is breaking down on me, ooh
Must admit that I've been feeling helpless
Like the weight of the world is coming down on me, mmm
So I'm holding on until it's passed away
But right now it feels like
It feels like it's getting a little too heavy
'Cause everything is breaking down on me
Can I get somebody to help me?
'Cause everything is breaking down on me
See I'm usually the strong one (I'm usually the strong one)
You won't often see me cry (often see me cry)
But everything seems to be stacking up a mountain high
And it feels, it feels like
It feels like it's getting a little too heavy (it feels like it's heavy)
(Everything)
Everything is breaking down on me (is just breaking down on me)
(Can I? Can I?)
Can I get somebody to help me?
(Can I get some assistance? Oh, my, my, my, my)
'Cause everything is breaking down on me
The lyrics of Maroon 5's song "Heavy" featuring PJ Morton portray a sense of overwhelming pressure and emotional distress. The singer expresses feeling burdened by the weight of their problems and everything around them falling apart. They long for someone to come to their aid and provide support during this difficult time.
In the first verse, the singer acknowledges their feelings of helplessness and compares it to the weight of the world bearing down on them. This metaphor emphasizes the intensity of their emotional state. However, they also recognize that this feeling won't last forever and they are determined to hold on until it passes.
The chorus reiterates the sensation of things becoming too heavy and things breaking down. It is a cry for help, as the singer asks if someone can come to their rescue. The repeated use of the phrase "everything is breaking down on me" emphasizes the extent of their troubles and the overwhelming nature of the situation.
The second verse reveals that the singer is typically seen as the strong one, rarely showing vulnerability or shedding tears. However, in this particular moment, they feel like the challenges in their life are piling up to an insurmountable height. This heightens their emotional distress, and they describe the feeling of their burdens becoming overwhelming.
The song concludes with the chorus once again, emphasizing the singer's plea for assistance. The repetition of the phrases "it feels like it's getting a little too heavy" and "everything is breaking down on me" confirms the recurring theme of being overwhelmed and seeking help.
Overall, "Heavy" explores the emotional weight one can experience when faced with adversity and the longing for support and relief. The lyrics depict vulnerability and the need for someone to share the burden and provide comfort during challenging times.

It's getting heavy, heavy on me
It's getting heavy, heavy on me
So can you help me, yeah
'Cause it's getting heavy on me
Don't wanna struggle no more
It lasted longer than I thought
I'm one that's always for the drive
But it's just taking to much time
I'm one that's always for the drive
But it's just taking to much time
So can you help me with the loan
'Cause I'm breaking right down to the floor
It's getting heavy, heavy on me
It's getting heavy, heavy on me
So can you help me, yeah
'Cause it's getting heavy on me
I thought I had it figured out
Thought I'd knew what life was about
But it's starting to mess with my mind
I can't tell my left from my right
Somebody calling me my guy
Don't work it have to run and hide
'Cause I'm too strong
It's getting heavy, heavy on me
It's getting heavy, heavy on me
So can you help me, yeah
'Cause it's getting heavy on me
