Message In A Bottle
Incubus/No Doubt Lyrics

Just a castaway
I am a castaway, stranded on an island, disconnected from the rest of the world.

An island lost at sea, oh
This island is lost, far away from any other landmass.

Another lonely day
Every day is a struggle filled with loneliness and longing for companionship.

With no one here but me, oh
There is no one else on this island except for me.

More loneliness
The amount of loneliness I experience is more than any person can bear.

Than any man could bear
It is unbearable for any human being to live in such isolation and loneliness.

Rescue me before I fall into despair
Please save me from sinking into hopelessness and losing all hope of ever being rescued.

I'll send an SOS to the world
I will send a signal to the world, indicating my distress and my need for help.

I hope that someone gets my
I am relying on someone to receive and understand the message I am sending.

Message in a bottle, yeah
I am putting my message in a bottle and throwing it into the sea, hoping it will reach someone who can help.

A year has passed since I wrote my note
It has been a long time since I wrote my distress letter and sent it out to sea.

But I should have known this right from the start
I should have realized from the beginning that the chance of being rescued was slim.

Only hope can keep us together
Hope is the only thing that can keep us going, even in the darkest of times.

Love can mend your life
Love has the power to heal and bring meaning to one's life.

But love can break your heart
Love can also lead to heartbreak and pain.

Walked out this morning
I walked out of my shelter this morning to explore the island.

Don't believe what I saw
I was shocked and overwhelmed by what I saw.

A hundred billion bottles
There are an overwhelming number of bottles on the shore.

Washed up on the shore
The bottles have been washed up on the shore by the ocean currents.

Seems I'm not alone at being alone
I realize that there are many other people in the world who are also alone and struggling.

A hundred billion castaways
There are countless people like me, who are stranded on their own islands with no one to turn to.

Looking for a home
We are all searching for a place where we belong and can feel safe and loved.

Sending out an SOS
I am sending out a call for help to anyone who might be able to hear me.
