Metallica - Helpless Lyrics






I've gotta see you moving fast, see you come my way.
See the dreams, I hope they last, never fade away.
Gotta see the lights above, make it loud tonight.
Gotta set it all afire, set it all alight.

See the flashing lights, hear the thunder roar,
I am gonna set you all alight.
Gotta make it man, I ain't got a choice,
Gotta fill this hall tonight.

Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless.

I don't know what I'm gonna do, maybe not tonight.
Gotta set you all afire, gotta treat you right.
I can see the flashing lights, lit before your love.
Gotta hear the thunder roar, coming from above.

See the flashing lights, hear the thunder roar,
I am gonna set you all alight.
Gotta make it man, I ain't got a choice,
Gotta fill this hall tonight.

Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless.

I can see the stars, I can see what's going on.
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun.
Only time will tell if I'll make it myself someday.
This stage is mine, music is my destiny.

Cannot squeeze the life from me.

I can see the stars, I can see what's going on.
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun.
Only time will tell if I'll make it myself someday.
This stage is mine, music is my destiny.

Cannot squeeze the life from me.

  9. T.... C....

    uma das melhores versões de uma música feita por outra banda que eu conheço e a melhor música do garage inc.

    James sounds really young here

    \.... U....

    Believe this was recorded during ajfa

  14. H.... ....

    I think Sean's clean voice fits this song better than James'

  15. A.... R....

    Au! Ouuyeeea! Au! 🤘😎🍺

  16. T.... G....

    Unfortunately Lars can't play like this anymore, but he still kick ass.

    T.... G....

    That double bass work is on point and hits just right with correct set up... there was great engineering on this whole album

    T.... G....

    lars is one of the most overrated drummers in the world, and maybe he is not even a musician.... but oh boy, what a businessman

  17. K.... O....

    this song is epic

  18. z.... ....

    This song sounds a lot like 'the prince'

    z.... ....

    Well, both songs were originally by Diamond Head.

  19. O.... S....

    Anyone else hear part of The Shortest Straw at the end of the solo?

  20. L.... B....

    Anyone have $5.98 I can borrow?

    L.... B....

    Here you go now go buy garage day re-re visited

    L.... B....

    Yeah sure, just don't waste it on chocolate milk.

  21. I.... a....

    Who did this song originally?

    I.... a....

    Diamondhead

    I.... a....

    Diamond Head

    I.... a....

    Diamondhead

  22. C.... P....

    One of the best ,this us when Metallica was in it's prime

    C.... P....

    this is before their prime actually.

    C.... P....

    @MrParkerman6 what do you consider their prime? Justice?

    C.... P....

    Before justice but after puppets

  23. K.... D....

    A million times better than the original

    K.... D....

    Hey mann... Gayy

    K.... D....

    Devin Notah ty😊

  24. L.... I....

    It's as if this song was written for Metallica

  25. C.... V....

    2:40 it's almost like metallica prog

  26. N.... S....

    Well this was definitely a disappointment compared to the original

    N.... S....

    @Nellson Stout, cuz they didn't bomb.

    N.... S....

    MrParkerman6 they bombed it, fanboy. They did excellent with Am I Evil but this fucking sucked.

    N.... S....

    Thought it was killer 🤘

    N.... S....

    @Nellson Stout but you're dick riding Diamond Head dipshit.

    N.... S....

    For you

  27. T.... ....

    The sound production is sorta like AJFA but with more bass and greater guitar tone. I wish AJFA would be remixed this way.

    T.... ....

    Yeah I wish ... And Justice for all had this bass levels. Blame that cunt named Lars.

    T.... ....

    @MrParkerman6 dont have to be so hostile. ot was recorded on 1987, a year before ajfa, on the $5.98 ep

    T.... ....

    @MrParkerman6 You're a dumbass he was obviously talking about this track specifically, the ep this was originally featured on came out just before ajfa like the guy said. Get your facts (and mind) straight before you go being a tit

    T.... ....

    The cover of this EP shows "not very produced by metallica" so thats why it sounds so good without lars dumb production of ajfa

    T.... ....

    It’s definetly recorded around the same time, this mix is way better than ajfa

  28. C.... ....

    "I can see the flashing lights; leave the boy alone"..........#Cannotsqueezethelifeofme

  29. R.... F....

    Is this Liberace ?! Just joking, love METALLICA!!

    R.... F....

    Ralph Filigenzi it’s actually Wayne Newton..lol

  30. c.... ....

    Dave Mustane made 13 accounts to dislike this video

    c.... ....

    NOSRAC 45 now

    c.... ....

    screw mustaine back in the day much better now...

    c.... ....

    73 now.....

    c.... ....

    99 now its oct 24th 2019 Thursday

    c.... ....

    Well, I'm not Mustaine but either way fuckoff metallica and lady gaga and load and refuck reload and through the never and selling art for millions and selling your ass so cheap. Metallica wouldn't be so shitty if they were less worried about money and more about music, that's why all the fanboys always talk only about black album and back.... and by the way... double extra fuck st anger and yeah fuck mustaine too, nothing acceptable since the 90s. let's be fair

  31. D.... ....

    That was smooth af

  32. 3.... S....

    Once again...Diamond Head doesnt get the credit they deserve,but they were a huge influence on Metallica...prob atleast 80%

    3.... S....

    Top Secret i think he means the metal community or music community doesn't give diamond head the credit they deserve, not that metallica doesn't give them the credit they deserve.

    3.... S....

    316 Studios don’t forget scorpions

    3.... S....

    316 Studios - yes DH was a big influence on Metallica, but so were a lot of the other British metal bands.. Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Venom and Iron Maiden to name a few

    3.... S....

    They even played some songs with DH https://youtu.be/rkfAwpCiAIs

    3.... S....

    Diamond head (If real at all) gets PHAT royalty checks from this, dude...Just God I Pray that the C.O.C. of Eric Eycke doesn't sell out for peanuts...hardest band that even crossed this entertainment TOILET...ERIC 4 EVER!!!

  33. w.... ....

    see you can pinpoint the almost the exact order they recorded these songs. this one, clearly was recorded before so what

    w.... ....

    yeah, you mean like about 4 years before so what?

    w.... ....

    Well, no shit sherlock, So What was recorded last cuz james blew his vocals out on it and then had to take singing lessons. EVERYONE knows so what was recorded last.

  34. L.... ....

    Truly a work of art, Hands down and thumbs up one of the greatest bands out there.

  35. J.... S....

    Yay first to comment!! Cool song on a pretty cool album
