S.O.S.
Apocalyptica Feat. Hanna Pakarinen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bound to your side and trapped in silence
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 am numb
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "S.O.S." by Apocalyptica address the experience of being trapped in a toxic and abusive relationship. The first verse describes feeling powerless and voiceless in the relationship, as if the singer is just a possession of their partner. The line "Is the sex or only violence that feeds your obsession" highlights the confusion and complexity of abusive relationships, where physical intimacy can be used as a tool for control and manipulation.


The second verse illustrates the pain and emotional turmoil caused by the abuse. The line "You send me to a broken state where I can take the pain" suggests that the singer is forced to endure the abuse, perhaps for the sake of survival. The repetition of "anything but love" in the chorus underscores the fact that the singer is not receiving love from their partner, only pain and suffering.


The final verse acknowledges the devastation caused by the relationship. The phrase "stripped down to my naked core" suggests a complete loss of self and identity, while the line "Inside I am dead" conveys a dark and hopeless feeling of emptiness. Overall, the lyrics to "S.O.S." provide a poignant and honest portrayal of the devastating effects of domestic abuse.
