S.O.S
Apocalyptica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a possession
Is the sex or only violence
That feeds your obsession
You send me to a broken state
Where I can take the pain
Just long enough
That I just disappear
[Chorus]
So go on and fight me
Go on and scare me to death
Tell me I asked for it
Tell me I'll never forget
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love
Does it feel good tonight
Hurt me with nothing
Some sort of sick satisfaction
You Get from mind fucking
Oh stripped down to my naked core
The darkest corners of my mind are yours
That's where you live
That's where you breathe
[Chorus]
Without any faith
Without any light
Can dare me to live
Can dare me to lie
Inside I am dead
[Chorus]
Anything but love
Anything but love
The lyrics of Apocalyptica featuring Cristina Scabbia's song "S.O.S." are quite dark and delve into the themes of possession, violence, and obsession in the context of a romantic relationship. The opening lines describe the feeling of being trapped in silence and "just a possession" of the partner, questioning whether the sexual relation is just a manifestation of a violent obsession. The following lines describe how the partner sends the singer to a "broken state" where they are able to tolerate the pain and eventually disappear into numbness.
The chorus is a direct confrontation between the singer and their partner, daring them to go ahead and fight, scare them to death, and remind them of the trauma they experienced. The partner is described as willing to provide anything but love, which highlights the toxic and unequal nature of the relationship. The second verse goes deeper into the emotional and psychological damage inflicted by the partner, stripping the singer down to their naked core and revealing the darkest corners of their mind where the partner's presence looms large.
The lyrics of "S.O.S." offer a powerful insight into the complex, and often destructive, dynamics of romantic relationships that involve possession, violence, and obsession. The song is a reflection of the darker side of love and the trauma that can result from the abuse of power and lack of empathy between partners.
