(Where'd you go?)
Like where'd you go?
I'm stuck on this road
Where'd you go?
I'm stuck on this road
I can't
Where'd you go?
I'm stuck on this road
I can't
Help when I'm feeling down
I been feeling down
I been feeling down and out
I just want to scream
I can't let it out
I can't let it out
I'm stuck in my head
I can not get out
Looking at the crowd
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me out?
Give me chance
Give me one more chance
This is all I got
This is all I got
Drink getting warm
I'ma take my shot
(Applaud)
Give me all you got
Give me everything
I want everything
This is all I see
It's just you an me
Drifting in the sea
Looking at the sky
Where we want to be
That's just where we want to be
(Applaud)
Who are you?
Who am I?
Who are we?
Tell me everything
I don't wanna be
I'm just gone be me
I'm just gone be me
(Tell me everything)
I'm just gone be me
I don't wanna be
I'm just gone be me
I'm just gone be me
Where'd you go?
I'm stuck on this road
Where'd you go?
I'm stuck on this road
I can't
Help when I'm feeling down
Where'd you go?
I'm stuck on this road
I can't
Help when I'm feeling down
I can't
Help when I'm feeling down
Feeling down, I been feeling down
Can you help me out?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me out?
Can you hear me out?
(Can't help when I'm feeling down)
In "Can't Help Myself" by Mr. Andrews, the lyrics depict a person feeling lost and struggling to find their way. The singer is asking someone where they went, and they feel as if they are physically stuck on a road, unable to make progress. They admit to feeling down and out, and the weight of their emotions is too heavy to carry alone. The singer wants to scream and let it all out, but they feel trapped in their own head. They are surrounded by people, but they wonder if anyone is really listening to them. They want a chance to prove themselves, to be heard and understood. The second part of the lyrics shifts to the singer asking the listeners who they are and who they want to be. Despite feeling lost, they state that they will always be themselves and no one else. The lyrics end with the singer again feeling stuck and asking for help.
Overall, the song taps into feelings of isolation and desperation. The idea of being stuck on a road can be seen as a metaphor for feeling trapped in one's own life, unable to move forward. The singer's repeated plea of "Where'd you go?" can be seen as a cry for help, and they are searching for something that will make them feel like they belong.
