about

“Anybody Help Me” parses the process of physical transformation through an absolutely giddy fuzz rock anthem. “I can’t find the woman in me,” the chorus bursts. The verses meanwhile swirl majestically in the excitement of hope and the pressure of change: “I take pills every day, save all my money so I can pay, new face, operate between my legs, make someone new, I can’t wait.”

Representing that duality is something not often seen in art, and something that McCall felt deeply both throughout her transitioning process and also in these songs. “I can’t say that everything is totally peachy and easy. It's hard to be trans sometimes and there’s always feedback from people around you, from society, even from yourself,” she says. “But it's difficult for anybody to inhabit a body. People in the trans community will hear themselves, but anybody who’s ever gone through radical change in their lives will recognize these feelings too.”

lyrics

I hope my life is gettin’ better/ Right now I can’t see a way out of this hell
My heart is a raging fire/ and I’m coughing from the smoke

I can’t find a woman in me/ I’m dying in a living body
I’m tryin’ to live, can’t you see? / Can somebody help me, anybody help me?

My waking mind tells me I’m alive/ Consumed by thoughts and I think that I’m
Not trapped in a body that’s not mine/ It’s circumstance that’s got me

I can’t find a woman in me/ I’m dying in a living body
I’m tryin’ to live, can’t you see?/ Can somebody help me, anybody help me?

I take pills everyday/ Save all my money so I can pay
New face, operate between my legs/ Make someone new, I can’t wait

I can’t find a woman in me/ I’m dying in a living body
I’m tryin’ to live, can’t you see?/ Can somebody help me, anybody help me?

I can’t find a woman in me/ I’m dying in a living body
I’m tryin’ to live, can’t you see?/ Can somebody help me, anybody help me?

Somebody help me/ Anybody help me
Somebody help me/ Anybody help me
somebody help me/ Anybody help me
