Help
Papa Roach Lyrics

I think I need help
The singer acknowledges that they need assistance with their emotional state.

I'm drowning in myself
The singer feels overwhelmed by their own thoughts and emotions.

Did someone turn the lights out?
The singer feels like they are in a dark place, both literally and metaphorically.

Or is it just another dark cloud in my head?
The artist wonders if their negative feelings and thoughts are solely coming from within.

'Cause I'm cut deep, my heart won't beat
The artist feels hurt and emotionally damaged, to the extent of feeling like they are dying inside.

Deep down low it's killing me
The pain and suffering the singer is enduring is deeply affecting them emotionally.

If I wanna scratch out yesterday
The singer wants to leave behind past emotional pain and trauma.

I've got so much I need to say
The artist needs to express their emotions and thoughts to someone.

They're preying on my weakness
The artist feels like external forces are exacerbating their emotional issues.

Believe it
The artist is trying to convince themselves and others that their problems are real.

I'm thinking to myself "no not again"
The singer has gone through this kind of emotional pain before and is dreading experiencing it again.

And I won't keep listening
The artist is determined not to be influenced by negative forces any longer.

When temptation's creeping in
The singer is referring to things that exacerbate their emotional problems, such as drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, and other vices.

I've got so much I need to say
The singer still needs to communicate their emotional turmoil to someone in order to feel better.

'Cause I've put myself through hell
The singer takes responsibility for some of their emotional pain but is still in need of help.

I think I need help
The artist reiterates the fact that they need assistance with their emotional state.

It's sinking in, I can't pretend
The artist is realizing the severity of their emotional pain and can no longer hide from it.

That I ain't been through hell
The singer acknowledges that they have gone through severe emotional pain in the past.

(I'm drowning in myself)
The singer repeats the fact that they feel overwhelmed by their own emotions and thoughts.
