“Another Cry For Help” by SaffeK is a stirring exploration of longing and self-reflection. At its heart, the song poses the repeated plea, “touch me hold me until the sun goes down upon my way,” symbolizing a yearning for comfort and security in times of uncertainty. Listeners are drawn into the singer’s inner conflict as spiraling thoughts and labored breaths clash with the relentless trials of life. Despite these challenges, the journey towards self-awareness is driven by an unyielding spirit to find a sense of wholeness, even at personal cost.
The lyrics tackle profound questions about time and identity, with the protagonist feeling detached and object-like in their existence, desperately seeking connection amidst their disarray. This call for help underscores a need for empathy and understanding from anyone willing to listen.
The poignant metaphor of reaching into the void paints a vivid picture of searching for meaning; however, the realization that “nothing really mattered anyway” adds an ironic twist on life’s quest for significance.
SaffeK’s song powerfully captures the universal tension between finding purpose and navigating life’s unpredictability.
The music and lyrics are crafted by Oren Amitai, who also delivers lead vocals and electric guitar. Supporting him are Gil Meir on electric guitars, Yonatan Irron on keyboards, Jonathan Alter on drums, April Mandil on bass and backing vocals, along with Alex Rotman on percussion.
Under Rondavny’s direction—who also handled cinematography and after effects—the visuals come alive. The production team includes editor Gil Meir alongside Ron Davny; lighting by Alex Rotman; makeup by Yali Zait; with location managed by Ilya Kruglov at Marina Moskovitz’s Sugarstudio. The track was engineered and mixed by Yonatan Kossov, with additional recordings at triostudiostlv by Gil Meir, culminating in mastering by Robin Schmidt at 24-96 Mastering.
