Help Me Somebody
N.R.B.Q. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Brought down in your heyday
Was this your price to pay
You can't deny these bloodshot eyes
A new beginning to a new delay
Well these mornings are the worst though
Will there be mourning for me
Last night's highs followed by tomorrow's lows
A newfound sense of urgency
Just a bit over dramatic
Oh such a tragedy
Cut loose with nothing to choose
In and out of apathy
Lately where's your heart been
Are you still going for gold
Despite the case well it's all out of phase
Where's that drive
That Gusto
Touch of Bold
And your stake is problematic
Sporadic in despondency
You are the tides that the levee's denied
Grasping for complacency
Just a bit over dramatic
Oh such a tragedy
Cut loose with nothing to choose
In and out of apathy
You can fall into the mold but they wont care about you
Drop dead as their martyr and they wont care about you
I'm done pursuing other faceless men's interest now
I'm just here until I'm not
Just a bit over dramatic
Oh such a tragedy




Cut loose with nothing to choose
In and out of apathy

As the song progresses, the imagery becomes more violent, with references to snakes, death, and warfare. Ultimately, the singer seems to be wrestling with the question of how to reconcile their desire for a cool and harmonious space with the reality of outside forces and the inherent conflict that arises from the collision of different values and identities.


Overall, "Help Me Somebody" is a powerful and multifaceted song that explores themes of identity, creativity, and conflict in a complex and nuanced way. By drawing on a wide range of imagery and metaphorical language, the songwriter is able to capture the tensions and contradictions that lie at the heart of social and cultural interaction.

Help me
I need your assistance


'Cause I, can feel, the fumes.
I am experiencing negative effects due to the current situation


'Cause someone uncool, has made it inside the room,
An undesirable person has infiltrated our group


Our idea's get shared, now the girl won't get spared,
Our plans have been revealed and now the innocent party will suffer consequences


And you're just sitting there, sucking up the air
You are not taking action and just wasting space


OK, you got it, you want to do somethin' 'bout it,
You understand the situation and want to take action


Wait a minute, what's wrong, somethin' broke? (Come on)
There may be an obstacle or challenge that needs to be addressed


Is that a snake I just saw?
There may be a dangerous or deceitful presence


Well they can only live with the grass, and weeds, are tall.
The negative presence cannot thrive in an environment that is pure or good


Well I'll stop at no cost to please my eyes
Actions will be taken to satisfy personal desires


And no I won't kill you but I'll watch you die C'mon! Woo! Yeah! Die bitch die! Ah
The negative presence will suffer consequences, but not necessarily through physical harm


'Cause this ain't good for my health
The situation is harmful to my well-being


So you can have this room and building yourself
I am willing to give up my place in this situation


My oath won't let me conspire
I cannot engage in unethical or illegal actions


While your presence set our sanctuary on fire
The negative presence has caused harm to our safe space


'Cause your intentions are pure
The positive presence has good intentions

The negative presence will face consequences, but not necessarily death


Understand why you're surprised
I am aware of your unexpected reaction


But never mind that please look outside
I am diverting attention to a different topic


Submarines and flying machines and fella's you know
There are various threats and dangers present


And signs that say we should've nuked you a long time ago
There are indicators that express hostility or aggression towards the negative presence


See those war machines out there
There are military or violent forces present


Are packed with your karma do you care
Negative actions or consequences have led to negative karma


Just no karma doesn't stop when you cry
Negative karma still persists even when faced with consequences


And no I won't kill you but I'll watch you die C'mon! Woo! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah
The negative presence will face consequences, but not necessarily death
