“Help Me” is a brutally honest rock track that captures the moment when life becomes overwhelming and the only honest response left is asking for help. Built on relentless guitar riffs and driving rhythms by Goran Vedriš, the song delivers a sense of pressure that never fully lets go.
Aton O’Cat’s vocal performance mirrors the lyrics: raw, direct, and emotionally exposed. Rather than hiding behind metaphor, “Help Me” names the chaos, stress, drama, emotional overload, and confronts it head-on. The song doesn’t offer easy solutions; instead, it gives voice to a state of mind many recognize but rarely articulate.
It is a cry, not a complaint.
“Help Me” is about hitting a personal breaking point. The lyrics express:
Feeling trapped in repetitive negative patterns
Losing control over one’s own life
Emotional overload and mental exhaustion
A desperate desire to regain balance and wholeness
The repeated plea “Help me to get everything under control” is not weakness, it’s awareness. The song frames asking for help as the first real step toward recovery.
The references to chaos, drama, and a “dark hole” underline that change doesn’t come from denial, but from confrontation.
Musically, “Help Me” is built for impact:
Heavy, unrelenting guitar riffs with Metallica-style influence
Driving rock tempo creating urgency and tension
Forceful vocal delivery matching emotional desperation
Minimal polish, keeping the sound raw and honest
Strong chorus repetition, reinforcing the plea for help
The music doesn’t soften the message, it amplifies it.

Help me my life is so chaotic
My life is such a mess
Help me my life is idiotic
My life is full of stress
How can I change the course of events
Some situations happen too frequent
How can I change the way I live my life
Now I live in too much strife
Help me to get everything under control
I again want to become whole
I also need S D and R and roll
I just have to crawl out of this dark hole
Help me my life is full of drama
My life is so theatrical
Help me to get rid of bad karma
My life is too emotional
How can I change the way the ball bounces
Some situations happen too often
How can I get my life denounced
I long for my life to soften
Help me to get everything under control
I again want to become whole
I also need S D and R and roll
I just have to crawl out of this dark hole
Help me life is too much roller coaster
My life is so uncontrolled
Help me be honest and give me a roast
My life needs to be more on hold
How can I change the way the cookie crumbles
Some situations happen too much
How can I prevent my life to tumble
I need to get the right touch
Help me to get everything under control
I again want to become whole
I also need S D and R and roll
I just have to crawl out of this dark hole
Help me to get everything under control
I again want to become whole
I also need S D and R and roll
I just have to crawl out of this dark hole
“Help Me” is about reaching a breaking point in life and openly asking for help to regain control.

Lyrics by Joseph J. Nota, music by Joseph J. Nota & Goran Vedriš.
Yes, the song reflects real emotional struggle and inner chaos.
The powerful sound mirrors the urgency and desperation expressed in the lyrics.
It symbolizes the grounding and healing power of rock music itself and some other fysical needs.
Yes, acknowledging the need for help is presented as the first step toward recovery.
No, it focuses on honesty rather than answers.
Recognition, catharsis, and the sense that asking for help is strength, not weakness.
