The New Merseysiders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Help! not just anybody
Help! you know i need someone
Help! when i was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone i'm not so self assured
Now i findi've changed my mind, i've opened up the doors
Help me if you can, i'm feeling down
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then i feel so insecure
I know that i just need you like i've never done before
Help me if you can, i'm feeling down
And i do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
When i was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone i'm not so self assured
Now i findi've changed my mind, i've opened up the doors
Help me if you can, i'm feeling down
And i do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
Help me. help me, oooh!!!
The New Merseysiders' song "Help!" is a heartwarming plea for assistance from a person who has always been independent. The singer begins with an urgent call for help, saying he needs someone to lean on. He then reminisces about a time when he was younger and felt self-assured, never needing anyone's help. However, now he is feeling insecure and needs help getting his feet back on the ground.
The song speaks to the universal human experience of needing others' help at times. Although we may strive to be independent, there are moments in our lives when we cannot do it alone, when we need someone to be there for us to provide a helping hand. The lyrics also highlight the fact that people can change, and what worked for us in the past may not work for us now.
Overall, "Help!" is a touching and relatable song about the importance of reaching out for support when we need it.
