"Help, I need somebody. Help, not just anybody. Help, you know I need someone, help!" Care to play along?

Asked by harple (10448points) September 7th, 2011

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 find I’ve changed my mind and 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?

———

Well that’s how I’m feeling right now. Would you care to share how you are feeling today using only the lyrics of a well known song?

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all

Heard this old Jackson Browne fave (The Pretender) on the radio during my commute this morning, and I’ll spare you the entire lyrics (though I love the whole song), but this little verse pretty much summarizes my mental state today:

I want to know what became of the changes
We waited for love to bring
Were they only the fitful dreams
Of some greater awakening
I’ve been aware of the time going by
They say in the end it’s the wink of an eye
And when the morning light comes streaming in
You’ll get up and do it again
Amen

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?

Come on, now
I hear you’re feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again

Relax
I’ll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon
You are the only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying

@Cruiser you stole my answer!!!!!!!

The second I finished reading this question this song started up in my head, by itself without any voluntary thinking.

“Learning to Breathe” by Switchfoot For the record, I chose this for the lyrics. I’ve only heard the song once and don’t much like the tune and am not impressed by the band.

Hello, good morning, how ya do?
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new

So this is the way
that I say that I need you
This is the way
This is the way

That I’m learning to breathe
I’m learning to crawl
I’m finding that you and
You alone can break my fall
I’m living again, awake and alive
I’m dying to breathe in these abundant skies

Hello, good morning, how ya been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never thought I could fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad

I’m learning to breathe
I’m learning to crawl
I’m finding that you and
you alone can break my fall
I’m living again, awake and alive
I’m dying to breathe in these abundant skies

So this is the way
that I say that I need you
This is the way
That I say I love you
This is the way
That I say I’m yours
This is the way
This is the way

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don’t ask why.

It’s not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It’s something unpredictable
but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Jellie's avatar

Where are you going?
Where do you go?

Are you looking for answers
To questions under the stars?
Well, if along the way
You are grown weary
You can rest with me until
A brighter day and you’re okay

I am no Superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero
Oh, that’s for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are is where I belong
I do know where you go
Is where I want to be

“Planets Of The Universe”

The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go by

They go into the seas that have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discover

[Chorus:]
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But I’m afraid soon there’ll be
No light

No doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well
Let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool, silent moments of the nighttime

marinelife's avatar

here I am against my will
watching the rain
I cannot stand to be alone
watching the rain
time stands still
watching the rain
I slowly start to drift away
watching the rain
it’s not so bad after all
stuck amidst this waterfall
my mind is running free
there’s no one here with me
watching the rain

When the Devil is too busy
And Death’s a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
To the Gentlemen I’m Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I’m Sir Prize
But call me by any name
Any way it’s all the same

I’m the fly in your soup
I’m the pebble in your shoe
I’m the pea beneath your bed
I’m a bump on every head
I’m the peel on which you slip
I’m a pin in every hip
I’m the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe
And it’s so easy when you’re evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I’m evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I’ll ever need

While there’s children to make sad
While there’s candy to be had
while there’s pockets left to pick
While there’s grannies to trip down the stairs
I’ll be there, I’ll be waiting round the corner
It’s a game. I’m glad I’m in it
‘Cause there’s one born every minute

I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark
And I promise on my damned soul
To do as I am told, Lord Beelxebub
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job, but does it happily.

I’m the fear that keeps you awake
I’m the shadows on the wall
I’m the monsters they become
I’m the nightmare in your skull
I’m a dagger in your back
An extra turn on the rack
I’m the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start.

And it’s so easy when you’re evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I’m evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I’ll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I’ll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I’ll ever need

It gets so lonley being evil
What I’d do to see a smile
Even for a little while
And no one loves you when you’re evil
I’m lying though my teeth!
Your tears are all the company I need

You can do what you want
The opportunity’s on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
you see ah ah ah
its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
‘Cause there’s a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
‘Cause there’s a million things to do
You know that there are

I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope

I’m sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama’s little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now

I’ve had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth

Ah, I’m sick and tired of hearing things

Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don’t get lost.
Like a coin that won’t get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I’m a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that’s true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn’t mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I’ve been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I’m all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I’m a lot like you
I need someone to love me

Ah, one look in my eyes

So stop that sighin’....be happy again

And the whole world gonna smile with you

The great big world will smile with you

The whole wide world will smile with you

The screen door slams
Mary’s dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that’s me and I want you only
Don’t turn me home again
I just can’t face myself alone again
Don’t run back inside
darling you know just what I’m here for
So you’re scared and you’re thinking
That maybe we ain’t that young anymore
Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night

Hello darkness, my old friend,

Because a vision softly creeping,

Left it’s seeds while I was sleeping!
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
The sound of silence…
Still remains

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev’ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
“I am leaving, I am leaving”
But the fighter still remains

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain

And all I can do is just pour some tea for two

and speak my point of view

But it’s not sane, It’s not sane

I just want some one to say to me

I’ll always be there when you wake

Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today

So stay with me and I’ll have it made

And I don’t understand why I sleep all day

And I start to complain that there’s no rain

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

And it rips my life away, but it’s a great escape

escape…...escape…...escape…...

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

ya don’t like my point of view

ya think I’m insane

Its not sane…...it’s not sane

I had my wake up
Won’t you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can’t take it
It wasn’t fake
It happened, you passed by

Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can’t bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere you’re not coming back

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won’t be the same no..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won’t be the same oh…

Na na, na na na, na na

In the corner
Of my eye
I saw you in Rudy’s
You were very high
You were high
It was a cryin’ disgrace
They saw your face

On the counter
By your keys
Was a book of numbers
And your remedies
One of these
Surely will screen out the sorrow
But where are you tomorrow

I can’t cry anymore
While you run around
Break away
Just when it
Seems so clear
That it’s
Over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here

I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything, but then again I was thinking about nothing. And then my mom came in, and I didn’t even know she was there. She called my name and I didn’t hear her and then she started screaming “Mike, Mike!” And I go “what? What’s the matter?” She goes “what’s the matter with you?” I go “there’s nothing wrong, mom.” Shes all “don’t tell me that! You’re on drugs!” I go “no mom, I’m not on drugs. I’m ok, I’m just thinking, you know? Why don’t you get me a Pepsi?” She goes “No! You’re on drugs!” I go “mom, I’m ok. I’m just thinking.” She goes “No! You’re not thinking, you’re on drugs! Normal people don’t be acting that way!” I go “mom, just get me a Pepsi! Please, all I want is a Pepsi!” And she wouldn’t give it to me! All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn’t give it to me! Just a Pepsi!

She swelled my head
So goodbye booze I’m goin to bed

So you see what booze has done for me

Oh goodbye booze
Forever more
My boozin’ days will soon be o’er
I had a good time, but we couldn’t agree
So you see what booze has done for me

Well she slammed my head
She broke my heart
So goodbye booze its time we part
I had a good time
But we couldn’t agree
So you see what booze has done for me

So goodbye booze
Forever more
My boozin’ days will soon be o’er
I had a good time
But we couldn’t agree
So you see what booze has done for me

Well she whipsered low, how sweet it sounds
Won’t don’t you take another ride on the merry go round
Oh I had a good time, but we couldn’t agree
So you see what booze has done for me

So goodbye booze
Forever more
My boozin’ days will soon be o’er

I swim at night in our community pool. I have made friends with a widow who lives alone. Last night we were leaving and my friend put on an old blue shirt. A man’s cotton button up shirt over her bathing suit. The tail of that faded blue shirt hit the curve of her thigh, just below her hips and hung off her shoulders too far, but it looked beautiful. When I complimented her on the shirt, she said it belonged to her husband. It is the only thing she kept from all of his clothes when he died. I told her I was going to give her the lyrics to this song and I’ve had it on my mind all day. It has a very special meaning to me and my new friend has made it even more special.

This shirt is old and faded
All the color’s washed away
I’ve had it now for more damn years
Than I can count anyway
I wear it beneath my jacket
With the collar turned up high
So old I should replace it
But I’m not about to try

This shirt’s got silver buttons
And a place upon the sleeve
Where I used to set my heart up
Right there anyone could see
This shirt is the one I wore to every boring high school dance
Where the boys ignored the girls
And we all pretended to like the band

This shirt was a pillow for my head
On a train through Italy
This shirt was a blanket beneath the love
We made in Argeles
This shirt was lost for three whole days
In a town near Buffalo
‘Till I found the locker key
In a downtown Trailways bus depot

This shirt was the one I lent you
And when you gave it back
There was a rip inside the sleeve
Where you rolled your cigarettes
It was the place I put my heart
Now look at where you put a tear
I forgave your thoughtlessness
But not the boy who put it there

This shirt was the place your cat
Decided to give birth to five
And we stayed up all night watching
And we wept when the last one died
This shirt is just an old faded piece of cotton
Shining like the memories
Inside those silver buttons

This shirt is a grand old relic
With a grand old history
I wear it now for Sunday chores
Cleaning house and raking leaves
I wear it beneath my jacket
With the collar turned up high
So old I should replace it
But I’m not about to try

I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don’t know what you’re expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I’m becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can’t you see that you’re smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I’m becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I’m becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you

I think I’m fallin’ for you

I can’t stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can’t hide it

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don’t belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming-Welcome to My Life By Simple Plan

Exactly how I feel.

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin’ for something
Something sacred i lost
But the river is wide
And it’s too hard to cross
even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I’ve been looking for

You’re a loose girl, I’m a guy (hey)
You’re a truth freak with a lie
This situation is so strange, it’s a TV show

You’re gonna leave me, I should’ve known (I should’ve known)
And I was thinking, it’s so sad
I didn’t want you to go.

Don’t wanna follow the laws of man, (yes, sir)
Bloody apron, leg of lamb
It’s so hard to win, when there’s so much to lose

Infiltrate the walls that are caving in
It ain’t a bad thing,
This ain’t reality

Infiltrate the walls that are caving in
It ain’t a bad thing
Because it is natural

Alone is the last place I wanted to be

There’s not a prayer, a prayer
Look what I can do

I am the only perfect choice
You’ve met your match
I’ve lost my voice
And when you’re gone
It gets so cold
I swear I’m too young
To be this old, this old
Look what I can do

Oh I’ve been cheated
Covered in diamonds
And covered in filth
But I’m still breathing
Oh just please stick around
And I’ll build…..
You a world.

Yes I am doing this again. This is how I felt yesterday and today as well.

“It’s hiding in the dark, it’s teeth are razor sharp
There’s no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream, maybe it’s just a dream
Maybe it’s inside of me, stop this monster
I feel it deep within, it’s just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I’ve become, the nightmare’s just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster” – Skillet.

And you
Can bring me to my knees
Yeah

All this time
That I could make you breathe
Yeah

All the times
That I felt insecure
Yeah

And I leave
A burning path of flame

(Chorus)
I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re Ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All this time
That I felt like this won’t add
Once for you

And I taste
What I could never have
It’s from you

All those times
That I tried
My intentions
Full of pride
And I waist
More time than anyone

I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I’ve cried
All that’s wasted
It’s all inside

And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It’s back again

And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can’t mend

And I feel
Tomorrow will be okay
But I know

That I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

Mister richard smoker
You’re a poopey poker
Chardonnay & cocaine in the spa
Cigarettes and coffee breath
Little boys on crystal meth
Tonight we’ll tango in the street
You eat
Dog meat

Mister richard smoker
You’re a chicken choker
Tonight you’re gonna
Let it all hang out
Pantihose and aqua net
Smokin’ menthol cigarettes
Tonight we’ll tango in the street
You eat
Dog meat

Smoke!

[solos]

You eat
Dog meat

Mister richard smoker
You’re an Ono Yoker
Cognac and black coffee
With the boys
Dancin’ in your buster browns
Whirlin’ to the techno sounds
Your hands are wet
Your hair is slick
You smoke
Big dick

Mister richard smoker
You’re a velvet coker
Bruce and Geoff will
Pick you up at ten
Goin’ out
Dancin’ in the city
Friday night
Gotta look pretty
Tonight we’ll tango in the street
You eat
Dog meat

Something’s been eating me up.
It’s four in the morning, my eyes should be shut.
Is it cold where you’re sleeping?
Do you keep on wishing, that some day, I might just show up?
Do you remember the plans that we made?
About getting married, and where we would stay?
Do you still hope we end up that way?

Many a time I sit and wonder why
This race so – so very hard to run,
Then I say to my soul: take courage,
Battle to be won,
Like a ship that’s tossed and driven,
Battered by the angry sea, yea-eah!
Say the tide of time was raging;
Don’t let the fury fall on me, no, no!

(and)

I’m in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I’m in a hurry and don’t know why

Oh, I hear a voice
That says I’m running behind
Better pick up my pace
It’s a race and there ain’t no room for someone in second place

Standing in the shower thinking
About what makes a man
An outlaw or a leader
I’m thinking about power…
The ways a man could use it
Or be destroyed by it
The water hits my neck
And I’m pissing on myself…

Standing
In the shower
Thinking…

Standing in the shower thinking
About a man I know don’t like me
He don’t like the place I’m headed
Same place he’s headed…
I know he’d beat me to it
If he could but he won’t do it
But he would man
If he could…
And the water is piping hot..
The water is piping hot
It beats upon my neck
And I’m pissing on myself…

Standing
In the shower
Thinking…

Standing in the shower thinking
Is my woman afraid of me?
She’s seen how far I’ve twisted
It’s just cause I can trust her
And ever since we met
She understood so she let
Me twist her good…
I twist her good…
And the water is piping hot
The water is piping hot
It beats upon my neck
And I’m pissing on myself…

Standing
In the shower
Thinking…

So Mary, climb in
It’s a town full of losers
And we are pulling out of here to win
