Help Me Make It Through The Night
The Heartburns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
this shithole called earth is the most fucked up and evil place,
I gotta drink to carry on I gotta drink to forget,
girl help me make it through the night, I can't take no more of this shit.
Help me make it through the night
I know it's not real love but I don't mind
you say you got things to do and you kick me on my way
to the nearest store to buy that cheapest bottle of wine,
to give some warmth in this fucked up world,
to this cold black heart of mine.
The Heartburns' song "Help Me Make It Through the Night" talks about the struggles and hardships of living in a world that can seem so cruel and unforgiving at times. The lyrics capture a sense of despair and hopelessness, as the singer describes how the world keeps on kicking him in the face and how he turns to drinking to help him forget. He pleads with the girl to help him make it through the night because he can't take any more of this shit.
But there's a hint of resignation in his voice as he acknowledges that the love he's receiving is not real and that he doesn't mind. The following morning, he wakes up to a hangover and finds that the girl has left, leaving him to go to the nearest store to buy the cheapest bottle of wine. He craves some warmth in this cold, black heart of his, and the wine provides a temporary respite from the hardships of life.
Overall, the song touches on themes of despair, loneliness, and alcoholism, capturing the raw emotional struggles of ordinary people who are trying to survive in an often hostile world.

She's a heart, she's a heart, she's a heart
Oh she's heartburn
Wish somebody knew
What I was goin' through
I need a doctor to tell me what I should do
She's killing me
It's hard to sleep
Ain't no prescription made to treat what I got
She hit me with it, with it
And she lets me get it get it
How could something good like this
Make me feel so sick?
Tell me why oh, why
(Why, why)
She had to set my heart on fire
Oh she's a heartburn
And every time I see her
She makes my heart burn
I'm all messed up for real
I'm telling you she's hot
The way she moves her body
The way she shakes her body
She's ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Oh, she's heartburn
Yeah it's kinda strange
I've been here before
Know it's bad but I still come back for more
Guess I'm a fool
'Cause I'm stuck on you
And I don't care 'cause I just want what you got
Oh, oh
She hit me with, it with it
And she lets me get it get it
How could something good like this
Make me feel so sick?
Tell me why oh why
She had to set my heart
Oh she's heartburn
And every time I see her
She makes my heart burn
I'm all messed up for real
I'm telling you she's hot
The way she moves her body
I'm telling you she's
The way she shakes her body
She's ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Oh she's heartburn
Oh she's a heartburn
And every time I see her (and every time)
She makes my heart burn (she breaks my heart)
I'm all messed up for real
I'm telling you she's hot
The way she moves her body
The way she shakes her body
(She's hot, she's hot, she's hot)
She's ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Oh she's heartburn
She's burning' my heart
And I can't take no more for real
