The song title is very minimalistic, featuring most likely inspired by a simplistic guitar part repeated—eventually building up (with background thunder) and leading into "[[Happiness In Slavery]]scene in ''Hellbound: Hellraiser 2''."

===Help Me I Am In Hell===
This is the original album version. Minimalist in nature, it features a simplistic and repetitive guitar riff and bassline building up with a backing thunder loop, which leads into "[[Happiness In Slavery (song)|Happiness In Slavery]]". The pulses at the end of the track are [[samples|sampled]] from ''The Empire Strikes Back'', specifically the scene when the Tie Fighters are sending bombs into the asteroid where Han and Leia are hiding.
===Help Me I Am In Hell (''Beside You In Time'')===Included on ''Beside You In Time'' as bonus footage from the [[With Teeth: Summer Amphitheater Tour|Summer 2006 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. It eventually leads into "[[Non-Entity]]".
==Music Video==
[[Image:HMIAIHstill.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from the "Help Me I Am In Hell" video]]"Help Me I Am In Hell" was directed by [[Eric Goode]] and [[Serge Becker]], who also directed "[[Pinion]]"." The black-and-white [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music 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. ===Credits===*Director: Eric Goode & Serge Becker*Producer: Adam Stern*Cameraman: Russell Swanson*Editor: Ted Tucker

This song is typically featured as an instrumental lead-in, often including wind sounds and a drum rhythm. In During the past [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle]], it lead led into "Happiness In Slavery" (as they appear on to form the end of the encore. During the album)[[With Teeth Summer Amphitheater Tour|Summer 2006 Tour]], but recently it has been was used before as a lead-in to "[[Non-Entity]]" or "[[Even Deeper]]", and during the [[Performance 2007|Performance 2007 Touring Cycle]], it was used as a lead in to "[[Eraser]]" or "[[Me, I'm Not]]". When the song returned to the live show in 2013, it was played in a higher key before transitioning to "Me, I'm Not" or "[[The Warning (Year Zero song)|The Warning]]", with [[Ilan Rubin]] playing cello instead of drums.During the [[Cold And Black And Infinite Tour]] and [[NIN 2022|2022 tours]], the song returned to being played in the normal key before "Happiness in Slavery".
