I Need Mo
S.M.K.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching for something I can't see
I've just got bruised and battered hands
And a brand new void inside of me
Complete with walls, I did create
From all the earth that I've displaced
A mess that I have made
I have not been abandoned
No, I have not been deserted
And I have not been forgotten
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything I need
Explore the cave that is my chest
A torch reveals there's nothing left
Your whispers echo off the wall
And you can hear my distant call
The voice of who I used to be
Screaming out, "Someone, someone please
Please shine a light into the black
Wade through the depths and bring me back"
I have not been abandoned
No, I have not been deserted
And I have not been forgotten
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything I need
I need you, I need you now
When my hope seem to dangle
Somewhere just beyond my reach
You say you've heard my prayers
You've read my words there, on the beach
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
I need you like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
'Cause you're everything, everything
I need you, I need you here
I need you now, I need security somehow
'Cause you're everything, everything, everything
(I need you, I need you now)
The lyrics to S.M.K.A.’s “I Need Mo” show the artist’s vulnerability as they navigate their way through personal struggles. The opening lines describe the feeling of aimlessness and confusion that often accompanies a search for purpose or direction. The sense of frustration is emphasized as the artist contrasts the effort they’ve put into the search with the lack of results they’ve achieved. The imagery of “bruised and battered hands” creates a physical manifestation of their emotional state, adding to the sense of exhaustion and weariness. The idea of creating “walls” from the very earth they’ve overturned also creates a sense of entrapment, highlighting the feeling of being stuck.
Throughout the song, the artist reaches out for help and connection, expressing a need for the presence and security of another person. The lines “I need you, I need you here / I need you now, I need security somehow” are a plea for comfort and reassurance. The repeated refrain of “you’re everything, everything I need” further emphasizes the importance of the other person in their life. This contrasts with the earlier imagery of isolation and entrapment, suggesting that the presence of another person can be a source of comfort and hope.
Ultimately, the song highlights the human need for connection and support in times of struggle. The artist’s vulnerability is a reminder that it’s okay to ask for help and that reaching out for support can be a powerful act of self-care.

I've dug up miles and miles of sand
I have been searching for a long time, but haven't found anything tangible
Searching for something I can't see
I'm looking for something that I can't define or pinpoint
I've just got bruised and battered hands
All my efforts have caused me physical and emotional pain
And a brand new void inside of me
My search has left me with an emptiness that I didn't have before
Complete with walls, I did create
I've built up barriers to protect myself from being hurt further
From all the earth that I've displaced
I've caused destruction along the way
A mess that I have made
I'm aware of the chaos and problems I've caused through my search
From what I've just let pile and pile up
I've let things escalate and become out of control
I have not been abandoned
I know that I have people who care about me
No, I have not been deserted
I am not alone, and people are still there for me
And I have not been forgotten
I haven't been left behind, and people still remember me
I need you, I need you here
I am reaching out for help and support
I need you now, I need security somehow
I am in a vulnerable state and I'm looking for reassurance
I need you like you would not believe
My need for you is urgent and intense
You're the only thing I want
Your presence is the most important thing to me right now
'Cause you're everything, everything I need
You are the solution to the emptiness and pain I'm feeling
Explore the cave that is my chest
Take a closer look at the depth of my emotions
A torch reveals there's nothing left
There's nothing in my heart at the moment
Your whispers echo off the wall
I can hear you trying to reach out to me
And you can hear my distant call
I'm crying out for help, but my voice is barely heard
The voice of who I used to be
The part of myself that I lost as a result of my search
Screaming out, 'Someone, someone please
Begging anyone to help me find my way back
Please shine a light into the black
Provide some sort of guidance or direction
Wade through the depths and bring me back'
Help me navigate through the darkness and come out whole
When my hope seem to dangle
When my hope is fleeting
Somewhere just beyond my reach
Just out of my grasp
You say you've heard my prayers
You acknowledge my cries for help
You've read my words there, on the beach
You've seen the signs of my struggles
'Cause you're everything, everything, everything
You are the one thing that can make things right for me
