Need a Little Help
Powder Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hurray, another one of those days
when I can't get myself together.
By the way, how the fuck can you say
That things can only get better
I've been screaming from the inside
Pushing through sideways
Insecurity craze
a not-so-super hero in the corner of the sky

Up, up, and away. . .

Everybody tellin me that I'm ok
aint nobody ever been inside
disassociation from society
I've contemplated an ugly suicide

I need a little help
I need a little help, here
I need a little help
I need a little. . .

Yeah, another one of those days
But I guess it's my turn to deny it
Hey, hey, who's the psycho today
They say I'm alright
But I don't buy it

I've been playing with myself again
It's drivin me around the bend a breakdown (breakdown)
ah fuck around
daddy's little precious got a little touchy feely
never I liked it, never liked it

being filled with fear and guilt created discipline
prepubescent years are over rated
constantly avoiding any honesty
it all amounts to everything I hated

I need a little help
I need a little help, here
I need a little help
I need a little. . .

Hurray, another one of those days
when I can't get myself together
a not-so-super hero
And a not-so-super hero. . .
And I like it, like it. . .

Talk to me in your condescending voice
The only reason my life has meaning

I need a little help
I need a little help, here

I need a little help
I need a little. . .
