Helpless
d.e.kennedy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you were right
You were wrong
I was foolish
I tried to run away
I tried to stay
I was stupid
I can't figure out
If you love me now
Or you're looking
Cus I wanna be stuck
Darkness exists
And I'm helpless
I'm helpless
I'm helpless
When will I be your only one
And when will my heart be whole again
You cast me in the part of the lonely one
And I'm helpless
And I'm helpless
Out on my own
After the show
And you found me
I was walking around
The heart of the town
I was lonely
Not even knowing that
You'd ever make me crazy
And be falling in love
Cus falling in love makes you lazy
And I'm helpless
And I'm helpless
When will I be your only one
When will my heart be whole again
You cast me in the part of the lonely one
And I'm helpless
And I'm helpless
Was it ever really me love
Was it ever really me no
Was it ever really me love
Was it ever really me no
You let me down once
You brought me to my knees
Am I stranger now
You let me down once
You brought me to my knees
Am I stranger now
I'm helpless
I'm helpless




And I'm helpless
And I'm helpless

Overall Meaning

The song "Helpless" by d.e.kennedy is a thoughtful reflection on love, heartbreak, and the moments of darkness that can come with both. The lyrics speak to the feeling of being stuck in a relationship where the dynamics are confusing and hard to decipher. The singer is torn between the desire to stay and the impulse to run away in spite of all the emotional turmoil. The lyrics show the character's perspective, thinking that although they have given themselves fully, they still feel helpless in the relationship.


The chorus repeats the word "helpless" three times, emphasizing the singer's feelings of powerlessness. They question when they will be the person their significant other loves unequivocally, and when their heart will be whole again. The lyrics also suggest that the past experiences of failed love have caused the person to question whether they will ever be a priority for their partner. They feel out of control and uncertain, and therefore, they are unable to escape the hold that their relationship has on them.


The song does not feature a definitive resolution, leaving the listeners to grapple with the uncertainty that the singer is facing. It is an earnest description of love that is not always easy to understand or navigate.

The heart of the town
The central area of the city


I was lonely
I felt alone and isolated


Not even knowing that
Without being aware that


You'd ever make me crazy
You would drive me to madness


And be falling in love
And falling deeply in love


Cus falling in love makes you lazy
Because being in love distracts you from other things


Was it ever really me love
Were your feelings ever genuine for me


Was it ever really me no
Was your affection never truly for me


You let me down once
You disappointed me in the past


You brought me to my knees
You caused me to feel defeated


Am I stranger now
Do you see me differently now


I'm helpless
I'm powerless

Khrushchev was so impressed with this speech, he allowed it to be printed in it’s entirety, uncensored, in the Soviet Union’s official state newspaper “Pravda”.

@mykhaltsobahan3828

Didn’t know this, thanks for sharing!

@michaeljohn7405

That’s true he did

@meagana8218

It's amazing how one speech completely changed the light in which Khrushchev once viewed JFK. He perceived him as a weak man and leader when they'd first met. It's a shame what happened to him; I always wonder how differently the past could have gone had he carried out his term and been subsequently re-elected.

@@meagana8218 This speech was after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Khrushchev and Kennedy had already had their Waterloo. It was Kennedy and Khrushchev who had set up a secret diplomatic channel through the Catholic Church. Over this channel they became friends much to the chagrin of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Without that goodwill, the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis would have ended very badly. Kennedy was dead a few months later.

It is refreshing to listen to a great orator after listening to an orange menace who cannot speak an entire sentence.
