In a nutshell, "Helpless" is a wonderfully uncomfortable peek behind the curtain of a world that seems to have misplaced its moral compass. It’s a world where doing good gets you smacked, and being a scoundrel gets you a standing ovation, leaving the nice guys feeling like they’ve been run over by a bus. That "happy ending"? It's more of a shy, timid hope that we humans might, just might, remember that looking out for each other is actually a rather brilliant survival strategy, before we all go tumbling down a rabbit hole of our own making.

The Grand Unveiling of Modern Malaise:

Empathy? So Last Century! The powers-that-be are masters of the ostrich impression, "closing their eyes to the spread of the harm." They even have the nerve to spin tales where helping the starving is apparently akin to joining the dark side – "aiding fascists"! The sheer nerve!

The Big Oof of Helplessness: That feeling of being "knocked to the ground" by a "suffocating arm" is all too real. You can practically hear the collective sigh asking, "Seriously, who's going to patch us up?"

Warning: Falling Rocks Ahead! This isn't just a gentle nudge; it's a flashing neon sign screaming, "This path of cruelty and silliness leads to a spectacular 'fall'!"

The "What If?" Ending: The "happy ending" suggests the faintest possibility that if we start being decent, even if it's just for our own good, we might kickstart a rather lovely cycle of mutual back-scratching.

This is the kind of music that makes you lean in and actually think. Absolutely brilliant!

Thank you so much Izzy for your wonderful review of my song smile I was smiling all the time while reading it and wondered how you managed to notice all of my intention , and then you even provided ideas that I didn't even think of like rabbit hole and the ostrich impression - an image which I undoubtedly wish I had used on the video, but on the other hand I read that it is based on a myth... but anyway, you gave me an idea for a new song smile I like how you describe the ending as "shy, timid hope". Some time ago I read a book called "The origin of virtue" and it may have inspired that part, would be interesting to test the current dominating "survival strategy" in a computer simulation, I assume it would fail miserably.

Thanks for your helping hand, I needed it and I hope to help you anytime smile
