Beyond Hunger: Ozempic's Surprising Impact on Alcohol, Drugs, and Gambling Cravings

'Help Me Out' is inspired by a true story of gambling addiction. This raw, emotional track delves into the mind of someone who's lost everything - their job, girl, dreams, and hometown - through their own self-destructive behavior. Told from the perspective of a 'sad clown', the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the irreversible consequences of their actions. The song gives voice to the inner turmoil and desperate plea for redemption of someone who has hit rock bottom, serving as a poignant reminder of addiction's real-world impact.

Help Me Out

Lyrics:

I stop betting on the shiny card scratcher
Cuz I know it’s not worth it in the end
God damn it

If I,
Could find a better way to float
It be less about about your throat
Cuz I wouldn’t be at it
(It’s already over)

Military at the walmart
Searchin my bag
I had a panic attack
You couldn’t see it, I asked

I said you said you’d never know the difference
It was part of the plan

Watch me
Give up
Get back

————-
I can kick it up I swear
I don’t need a life vest
I don’t need a hand extended
I just need a weekend

And I hope you catch on
When I need a life vest
Cuz I’m breathing water
And I’m gonna sink fast
————-

Pull me out
Lay me in the sunlight
Pull me out
And I’ll dive back in

I stop bettin on a shiny card scratcher
Cuz I know it’s not worth it
If I can’t rework it In my head

There’s a thousand different avenues
That end up with me dead
It’s illlogical
But it’s the only thing that’s making sense

If I were you
I’d be worried too
If you were thinking 
What I’m thinking
You’d be thinking
That it’s already over

In hell or high water
I’ll always go swim
And if you try and save me I’ll kick

Psychical Band Theory

An alternative trip hop sound reminiscent of 90s atmospheres. A text that forcefully addresses the issue of Gambling Addiction, born from a project financed by public bodies in Italy. the language sung is a mix of Italian, English and a small intervention in French (where the slot machine speaks directly). The lead vocals are by Amy Denio, a special guest who added quality and elegance to the song. The Daniva duo always alternates instrumental songs with songs sung by different guests.
