Israelvis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to reach for you. but you have closed my mind
Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood
It used to be so nice. It used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me S.O.S.?
The love you gave me. nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go 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 you're near me, darling, can't you hear me S.O.S.?
The love you gave me. nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone though I try how can I carry on?
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone though I try how can I carry on?
The lyrics to Israelvis's song S.O.S. suggest the sadness and heartbreak that come from a broken relationship. The singer's longing for the past is evident as they express their confusion about what went wrong with their once happy and loving relationship. The opening lines express the singer's difficulty in finding happy moments, while the next line suggests that their partner has shut them out, leaving them feeling out of control and unable to understand what went awry.
The chorus of the song reveals the depth of the singer's pain by making a plea for their loved one to return, to hear them when they call out for help, and to be their salvation. They are struggling to carry on after their partner has left and are expressing their desperate need for the love and comfort that only their partner can provide. The final line of the chorus underscores this sense of loss as the singer begs to know how they can continue without their loved one.
The verse's final lines suggest that, while the singer might be physically near their partner, they feel emotionally distant. They recognize that their partner once made them feel alive, but now the relationship is dead, and they fear they will never get it back. Overall, the song's lyrics poignantly convey love's complexities, its potential for both joy and sorrow, and the pain of its loss.
