S.O.S
Elise Estrada Lyrics

Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever experienced the isolating and suffocating feeling of being alone?

Lost and paralyzed
Feeling lost and unable to move forward or take action.

Trynna find a way out
Attempting to escape a difficult or challenging situation.

But no one hears your cries
Feeling unheard and unsupported in one's struggles.

This is my reality
Acknowledging the current difficult circumstances as real and present.

Now that you're gone
Implying that the person being addressed was a source of support that is now absent.

And I know that I caused you pain
Taking responsibility for causing someone hurt or suffering.

I swear I'll never do it again
Making a promise to not repeat past mistakes.

Since I walked outta your life
Reflecting on the decision to leave and the negative impact it's had on one's life.

Things haven't been the same
Noting the changes and difficulties that have arisen since the person being addressed left.

I turned left when I shoulda turned right
Admitting to making a poor decision that has resulted in negative consequences.

And now I'm gone, lost in the night
Feeling lost and directionless, unable to find a way back.

Can't live without you in my life
Expressing a deep need and desire for the person being addressed to return to their life.

So come and rescue me
Asking for help and support to get through a difficult situation.

So I'm sending this SOS to you
Using the song as a metaphorical distress signal to get the attention and support of the person being addressed.

I'm sick and I don't know what to do
Feeling overwhelmed and in need of assistance.

I can barely breathe and it's killing me
Experiencing an extreme level of distress and hardship.

Gotta get this through to you
Feeling a sense of urgency to communicate and be heard.

'Cause I'm hoping you feel the same way too
Expressing a wish for the person being addressed to feel the same level of love and need.

Show me a sign 'cause I'm drowning inside
Feeling overwhelmed and in need of clear affirmation or guidance.

It's gotta get to you
Emphasizing the need for the message to be received and understood by the person being addressed.

It's cold and it's empty
Describing the negative emotional state of feeling alone and missing the person being addressed.

Just trying to exist
Struggling to simply carry on without the support of the person being addressed.

When all I have is memories
Reflecting on the past and the positive experiences shared with the person being addressed.

Of everything I miss
Yearning for the positive things that have been lost since the person being addressed left.

Do you think about me
Wondering if the person being addressed is also thinking about the singer.

I'm going crazy thinking 'bout you
Feeling consumed and overwhelmed by thoughts of the person being addressed.

I pray to God to save me
Seeking spiritual or divine intervention to help through a difficult time.

And bring me back to you
Expressing a strong desire to reconcile and reconnect with the person being addressed.

Save me
Using the word 'save' as an urgent plea for help and support.

(Na na na, no no no)
Non-lyrical vocalizations used to add emphasis and emotion to the plea for help.

(I can't breathe, I can't breathe)
A metaphorical way of expressing the overwhelming level of distress and suffocation being experienced.

(It's killing me, oh baby)
Describing the extreme emotional pain being experienced as a result of the situation.

(I'm dying to hear)
An additional plea for the person being addressed to respond and acknowledge the message being sent.

This SOS
Repeating the song's title as a central theme and repeated message to the person being addressed.

I'm sending this SOS
Reiterating the use of the song as a symbolic call for help and support.

I'm sending this SOS to you
Stating the intended recipient of the message and plea for help.
