Help Me
Nia Wyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a black cloud roaming behind my shoulders
And it ain't showing cos I don't tell you
It's there when I wake up
And when I lay my head
When I go to work each day
Haunted by my own dead

And once I reach the front of that long queue
Would you believe me if I said to you?
No no, no no

Help me god
Help me lord
I didn't want it to come to this
But forgiving is just too hard
Help me god
Help me lord
I didn't want it to come to this
But forgiving is just too hard

Do I get redemption from
The pills you prescribe?
Once I've been forgiven do I
Show or do I hide
So hard to get a job when they say I'm violent
Drunk or unstable
Can't predict or rely on

She's a time bomb just waiting to blast
Don't wanna have to live with that
No no, no no

Help me god
Help me lord
I didn't want it to come to this
But forgiving is just too hard
Help me god
Help me lord
I didn't want it to come to this
But forgiving is just too hard

I ask only once where do I confess
When you know there's nowhere to go
You ask why I don't say
Why I keep my mouth shut
Cos everybody thinks they know
What it's like to have no control of your mind
Im tired of all the jokes, all the looks they're giving me
It's hard enough to listen to what's in my head
Let alone society
So please refrain from telling me that you know
Exactly how I feel
Exactly how I feel

Help me god
Help me lord
I didn't want it to come to this
But forgiving is just too hard
Help me god
Help me lord
I didn't want it to come to this
But forgiving is just too hard




forgiving is just too hard
Burying is too hard

Overall Meaning

In Nia Wyn's song "Help Me," the lyrics depict a person struggling with their mental health and the burdens they carry. The opening lines, "Got a black cloud roaming behind my shoulders/ And it ain't showing cos I don't tell you," suggest that the individual is dealing with internal struggles that are not readily apparent to others. The black cloud represents their mental anguish and how it follows them throughout their day. They wake up with it, carry it to work, and it haunts them constantly.


The lyrics also touch on the difficulty of seeking redemption and forgiveness. The lines, "Do I get redemption from/ The pills you prescribe?/ Once I've been forgiven do I/ Show or do I hide," convey the singer's uncertainty about finding true redemption through medication or therapy. They question whether being forgiven for their past actions would truly change anything about them, or if they would continue to hide their true selves.


The song further highlights the challenges of living with a mental illness, including the stigma and discrimination that comes with it. The lines, "Can't predict or rely on/ She's a time bomb just waiting to blast/ Don't wanna have to live with that," describe the fear of being perceived as violent, drunk, or unstable, and the impact it has on the individual's ability to find employment and lead a normal life. The lyrics emphasize the frustration of being judged by society and begging to be understood.


Line by Line Meaning

Got a black cloud roaming behind my shoulders
I carry a heavy burden of negativity and darkness in my life


And it ain't showing cos I don't tell you
I hide my pain and struggles from others


It's there when I wake up
The burden is present every morning when I wake up


And when I lay my head
It haunts me even as I try to sleep


When I go to work each day
The burden follows me to my workplace


Haunted by my own dead
I am constantly tormented by my past mistakes and regrets


And once I reach the front of that long queue
When I finally get a chance or opportunity


Would you believe me if I said to you?
Do you trust me enough to believe what I say?


Help me god
I am desperately seeking divine assistance


Help me lord
I am pleading for help from a higher power


I didn't want it to come to this
I never intended for my situation to deteriorate to this extent


But forgiving is just too hard
I struggle to let go of past wrongdoings and forgive myself


Do I get redemption from
Can I find redemption through


The pills you prescribe?
Taking prescribed medication


Once I've been forgiven do I
After receiving forgiveness, do I


Show or do I hide
Do I openly express my changed self or continue to hide my true feelings


So hard to get a job when they say I'm violent
It is difficult for me to find employment due to the perception of being violent


Drunk or unstable
Seen as intoxicated or mentally unstable


Can't predict or rely on
I cannot anticipate or depend on


She's a time bomb just waiting to blast
I feel like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment


Don't wanna have to live with that
I don't want to carry this burden for the rest of my life


I ask only once where do I confess
I seek a place or person to confide in and seek forgiveness


When you know there's nowhere to go
When I feel trapped and have no options


You ask why I don't say
You wonder why I keep my struggles to myself


Why I keep my mouth shut
Why I choose not to speak up or share my pain


Cos everybody thinks they know
Because everyone believes they understand


What it's like to have no control of your mind
To experience a lack of control over one's thoughts and emotions


Im tired of all the jokes, all the looks they're giving me
I am exhausted by the mocking and judgmental glances I receive


It's hard enough to listen to what's in my head
I struggle to cope with the thoughts and voices in my own mind


Let alone society
And dealing with societal expectations and judgments is even more challenging


So please refrain from telling me that you know
Please avoid claiming that you understand


Exactly how I feel
My emotions and experiences are unique to me


Help me god
I am pleading for divine assistance


Help me lord
I am seeking help and support from a higher power


forgiving is just too hard
I find it extremely challenging to forgive myself


Burying is too hard
I cannot simply bury or ignore my pain and struggles

LETRAS / LYRICS

Don't ya get upset it was not your fault
No, common sense is not in your arsenal
You were an arsehole laughing in my face
Like my dreams were a fable
(Gotta be unstable now)
Instead, I'm just talking to the faires
They're stuck in small-town, little house on the prairie
Drinking in spoons I get to pass time (pass time)
One clock wonder than the nine to five
(One clock wonder than the nine to five)
I'm not here to sit up on a high horse
But I wanna school you on college, course
Maybe I'm unstable, but I'm out here, waves making themselves
Not lifting a finger, didn't need no help
I didn't need no help
I didn't need no help
Now, I got something to say
Who asked you? (who asked you?)
You should just retire
'Cause who asked you? (who asked you?)
Did someone here say something?
'Cause who asked you? (Who asked you?)
I got nothing left to say, but, who asked you?
Who asked you? Nah, nah, no
I got a question
Oh, does the white balloon even bother chasing you anymore?
Oh, oh, yeah
I don't know why, ha
You don't get tired of running in the same old circles
Saying, "Hello, goodbye"
Oh, oh, yeah
No shade intended, but let's get candid
Misery loves company and you demand it
If you hadn't done me dirty that'd be offhanded, yeah
Now, I got something to say
Who asked you? (who asked you?)
You should just retire
'Cause who asked you? (who asked you?)
Did someone here say something?
'Cause who asked you? (Who asked you?)
I got nothing left to say, but, who asked you?
Who asked you? Nah, nah, no
I really, really, really wanna know
(Who asked you?)
'Cause I wanna know (Who asked you?)
Nothing left to say to you
That I really wanna know (Who asked you?)
Why you gotta be so cruel?
Now, I got something to say
Who asked you? (who asked you?)
You should just retire (you should just retire)
'Cause who asked you? (who asked you?)
Did someone here say something? (someone here say something)
'Cause who asked you? (Who asked you?)
I got nothing left to say, but, who asked you?
(I got nothing left to say, say, say)
Who asked you? Nah, nah, no
