SOS
Dr. Jekyll Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you know the struggle then I invite you to listen
Feelin' down and depressed but you can make a difference
Even if you don't got it, you got the vision
We're all a little lucky but put aside superstition
Current situation is not your final destination
I know that you will get there man I know that you will make it
Success is right in front of you but are you gonna take it
Dreams don't come for you, man you got to go and chase it
I love my brothers like there ain't no others
Word to Hov, less is more there's plenty of us
Keep my circle small, already too many of us
On the way to the top, but nobody is above us.
We only got each other in the world we call our home
You can reach out just know that you're not alone
Talkin to the plug, can you throw me a bone
Not in my zone, let alone, in my own home
Workin' 2 jobs and shit, still ain't enough
Yeah I got a raise but this is getting tough
Smile on my face but you could call my bluff
Gotta get out this rough like Shia Labeouf
Feelin' like it's the end I'm stressed the fuck out
Sometimes I don't even know what I'm talkin bout
Feelin' like this road is just one way route
Sometimes I just need to roll one up and air it out
I know that imma make it imma keep my held high
Music in my blood that's something I can't deny
Instead of lookin down I just look at the sky
I got what what rappers got in spirit times 59
Just be a little confident in yourself
Work on your health repeat work on your health
Mentality is everything, knowledge is wealth
Just be fuckin confident in yourself
If you know the struggle then I invite you to listen
Feelin' down and depressed but you can make a difference
Even if you don't got it, you got the vision
We're all a little lucky but put aside superstition
Current situation is not your final destination
I know that you will get there man I know that you will make it
Success is right in front of you but are you gonna take it
Dreams don't come for you, man you got to go and chase it
Just be a little confident in yourself
Work on your health repeat work on your health
Mentality is everything, knowledge is wealth
Just be fuckin' confident in yourself
I know that imma make it imma keep my held high
Music in my blood that's something I can't deny




Instead of lookin down I just look at the sky
I got what what rappers got in spirit times 59

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "SOS" by Dr. Jekyll, describe the regret and pain of falling in love with someone who is emotionally distant and no longer the person they once were. The repetition of the phrase "she's so far gone" emphasizes the distance and loss the singer feels. He expresses remorse for not heeding his mother's warning about this woman, who has caused him hurt, pain, and toil, becoming a total disgrace in his life. The lines "Sometimes things are just what they seem," and "Trying to reach for something that was never there," demonstrate the singer's desire to hold on to something that wasn't real, believing the woman he loved was something different from what she actually was.


Despite his regret, the singer acknowledges that his feelings for the woman were genuine and he had fallen in love. The line "And so it goes - you fall in love," shows that he accepts his part in the situation and the consequences of his actions. The repetition of the phrases, "I should have run for cover and listened to my mother," and "When I first saw her face," highlights the singer's internal battle between what he knew was right and what he felt.


Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of falling for someone who is not what they appear to be and the need to listen to our instincts and the advice of those who care for us.

Lyrics (Unofficial, made by me):
Give it to me, baby
Give it to me, baby

I live in Tigerland and I'm Indiana man
I used to walk around with a snake in my hand
Dr. Bombay is my name and my father had the same
But everything changed here in Tigerland

S.O.S The tiger took my father
S.O.S The tiger took my mother
S.O.S The tiger took my brother
S.O.S The tiger took my family

Ayy-lee-doo-lah
La-dah-dee-dah-dee-doo-dah
La-dah-dee-doh-lee-dooh-day
Lee-doo-day-lee-doo-day

We lived outside Caluctta in a little wooden house
I lived there with my family and twenty one cows
But now they are all gone and all its not a fun
But what can you expect here in Tigerland

S.O.S The tiger took my father
S.O.S The tiger took my mother
S.O.S The tiger took my brother
S.O.S The tiger took my family

One day in a warm jungle the tiger took my snake
It wasn't really fun it was a big mistake
I took my brothers slingshot and then shot the tiger down
This is how we do it here in Tigerland

S.O.S The tiger took my father
S.O.S The tiger took my mother
S.O.S The tiger took my brother
S.O.S The tiger took my family
