Versions

Help Me I Am In Hell

This is the original album version.

Help Me I Am In Hell (Beside You In Time)

Included on Beside You In Time as bonus footage from the Summer Amphitheater Tour, this guitar-and-drum-heavy version is performed with the LED cage dropped down in front of the stage. The lights on the cage and the screens behind the stage give the impression of wax bubbles in a lava lamp.

Music Video

"Help Me I Am In Hell" was directed by Eric Goode and Serge Becker, who also directed "Pinion." The black-and-white video features a man eating a steak and drinking red wine while surrounded by thousands of flies. The man seems oblivious to the flies as they drown in his wine, eat his steak, and swarm around him, crawling close to his eyes and into his mouth. As the song builds, the man has visions of himself in sadomasochistic regalia, wearing a horse's bridle and blinders. As the song begins to decrescendo, the camera zooms out as the man continues with his meal.

Live

This song is typically featured as an instrumental lead-in. In the past it lead into "Happiness In Slavery" (as they appear on the album), but recently it has been used before "Non-Entity" and "Eraser."
