Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good
So when youre near me, darling cant you hear me
S. o. s.
S. o. s.
When youre gone
How can I even try to go on?
When youre gone
Though I try how can I carry 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 youre near me, darling cant you hear me
S. o. s.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. o. s.
When youre gone
How can I even try to go on?
When youre gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
So when youre near me, darling cant you hear me
S. o. s.
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. o. s.
When youre gone
How can I even try to go on?
When youre gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
When youre gone
How can I even try to go on?
When youre gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
The lyrics to "S.O.S." by the Cast of Mamma Mia! tell the story of a crumbling relationship. The singer reminisces about the happier times in their relationship, when love used to be easy and abundant. However, things have changed, and their partner has seemingly become disinterested and distant. The singer is struggling to understand what happened to their love and why they can't seem to connect like they used to. The chorus repeats the plea for help, with the singer calling out for S.O.S. to the one they love. The love they once shared was the only thing that could save them, but now that their partner is gone, the singer is left feeling lost and alone.
Throughout the song, the singer repeats the line "when you're gone" several times, emphasizing the impact that their partner's absence has on them. Even when they're physically present, they might as well be a million miles away. The singer feels disconnected and alone, unable to move on or carry on without the love they once shared.
Overall, "S.O.S." is a testament to the power of love and the devastation that comes with its loss. The lyrics are deeply emotional, and the catchy chorus makes it easy for listeners to relate to the pain and heartbreak that the singer is experiencing.

Guess I’m cursed then 😳 tbh I don’t like most of these actors’ voices in this soundtrack? Idk! I don’t really care for the guy who plays Sam’s voice. But some of the songs I prefer on this soundtrack to the move soundtrack. It really depends honestly!

This song is so much sadder in Mamma Mia 2.
