SOS
Ichon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quand est-ce qu'on me descend?
Ooh, S.O.S. (S.O.S.)
Je sens mon poids tirer sur la corde
C'est déjà une question de mort
Une vie s'arrête, un signal de détresse
La terre elle tourne encore (S.O.S.)
Je ne veux pas faire de peine en m'ouvrant les veines
Donc je reste
J'aimerais disparaitre, me jeter par la fenêtre
Si il y a la vie après la mort autant y rester
Qu'aura, la terre elle tourne encore
Ooh, S.O.S.
Quand est-ce qu'on me descend?
Ooh, S.O.S. (S.O.S.)
(Je sens mon poids tirer)
Ooh, S.O.S.
Quand est-ce qu'on me descend?
Ooh, S.O.S. (S.O.S.)
Maximum, maximum
Je vis depuis que je sais que je suis mort
J'essaie de mourir depuis que je suis môme
J'ai senti enfin quelque chose
Un bain de sang, un accident
Un corps au sol, une âme qui vole
Pour vivre, je donne le maximum, maximum, maximum (hey)
Sans toi c'est plus pareil
On s'était promis qu'on partirait ensemble
Rien ne pourra nous séparer
Pour te rejoindre je donne le maximum
Des raisons de me tuer, ce n'est pas ce qu'il manque
Pour enfin tourner la page suivante
(Ouais, ooh, maximum) (ooh)
Ooh, S.O.S.
Quand est-ce qu'on me descend?
Ooh, S.O.S. (S.O.S.)
(Je sens mon poids tirer)
Ooh, S.O.S.
Quand est-ce qu'on me descend?
Ooh, S.O.S. (S.O.S.)

Ooh, S.O.S., (S.O.S.)

The song "SOS" by Ichon is a representation of a struggle with mental illnesses like depression or anxiety. The lyrics of the song speak to how the singer is close to giving up and wants someone to rescue him before it is too late. He uses the phrase "S.O.S." to call for help and hope for someone to come to his aid. The lines "Je sens mon poids tirer sur la corde / C'est déjà une question de mort" signify how the weight of the situation is almost unbearable, and things may end up in disaster. However, he wants to hold on and not give up just yet as he says, "Je ne veux pas faire de peine en m'ouvrant les veines / Donc je reste."
The second verse of the song talks about how he has been trying to die since he was a child, and he wants to give his maximum to life to live on, as he says, "Pour vivre je donne le maximum, Maximum maximum." The song also touches upon the theme of love, as he talks about how he promised someone they would leave together, but now he is struggling to keep up his end of the deal. The line "Sans toi c'est plus pareil" shows how he feels incomplete without the other person. Throughout the song, the emotional toll of the struggles with mental illness takes over and leads the singer to call for help.
