Abbacadabra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to reach for you. but you have closed my mind
Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood
It used to be so nice. It used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me S.O.S.?
The love you gave me. nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out. I wish I understood
What happened to our love? It used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me S.O.S.?
The love you gave me. nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone though I try how can I carry on?
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone though I try how can I carry on?
The lyrics to "S.O.S." by Abbacadabra express the pain and confusion of a failed relationship. The singer reflects on how their love used to be good and happy, but now they cannot understand what went wrong. The first verse asks where the happy times have gone and reveals that the singer has tried to reach out to their partner, but they have closed their mind. The chorus pleads for help with the acronym "S.O.S.", which traditionally stands for "Save Our Souls". The singer acknowledges that the love they were given is the only thing that can save them, but when their partner is gone, they cannot carry on.
The second verse describes how the partner now feels distant even when physically close, and how the relationship has lost its spark. The singer admits to trying to make it work, but they still don't understand what happened to their love. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the desperation and need for rescue in the relationship. The final lines of the song, which reiterate the chorus, express the futility and difficulty of carrying on after their partner has left, despite attempts to try.
