Helpless
Navigating Life's Slow Currents: Faith No More's 'Helpless' Journey
Lyrics
The air is warm
The atmosphere is warm.
I hear the wind and the trees
I can hear the wind and the sounds of the trees.
I know I'm there, but I'll never be
I acknowledge my existence, but I feel a sense of detachment.
The wind is soft tonight, the tide is low
The wind is gentle, and the tide is low.
And I know the way
I know the way forward.
(I never felt better now)
(I am experiencing a heightened sense of well-being.)
Sometimes life, it moves too slow
Sometimes life seems to move too slowly.
Slows to a crawl, and then the poetry is lost
Life slows down, and the beauty of poetry is lost.
And without speed, hope becomes certainty
Without speed, hope becomes certainty.
And for once I'm certain
For once, I am sure of something.
(I never felt better now)
(I am experiencing a heightened sense of well-being.)
A garden is it's own perfect world
A garden is a self-contained perfect world.
Where everything has a place
Everything in the garden has its designated place.
Every leaf, every stone, every speck of dirt
Every element, including leaves, stones, and dirt, has its place.
But where's my place?
However, I am unsure of my own place.
I even tried to get arrested today
I attempted to get arrested today but was ignored.
But everyone looked the other way
Others chose to look away, and I couldn't attract attention.
I count the hours, and I count the days
I am counting the hours and days.
But for once I'm certain
Yet, for once, I am certain of something.
Don't want your help
I do not want your assistance.
Don't need your help
I do not need your help.
Don't want your help
I do not want your help.
Don't need your help
I do not need your help.
Helpless
I feel helpless.
You found a way to make me say
You found a way to make me admit: "Help me, please, someone."
Help me please someone
(Expressing a plea for assistance.)
The water's clear
The water is transparent.
I see that it's full of dimes
I notice that it is filled with dimes.
For every wish, I wonder why
For every wish, I question why.
Why all I want is something beautiful
All I desire is something beautiful.
A place to rest
A place to find rest.
(I never felt better now)
(I am experiencing a heightened sense of well-being.)
Help
I need assistance.
