SOS
Jan Leyk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You give me all the reasons that I need to get down
You're the one that's making me turn my head around
Everythin' about you makes me call on my dudes
I got everythin' I want but what's missing is you

That's why I send these messages
'Cause I wanna let you know

Every Whatsapp is an SOS
Come and save my soul
Come and save my soul
Come and save my soul

(Come and save my s-, ah)

Waiting for your answer as I'm riflin' in thoughts
Rescue me out of the ways before I get lost
Shooting all these rockets way up into the sky
I'm living on the first floor but you make me feel high

That's why I send these messages
'Cause I wanna let you know

Every Whatsapp is an SOS
Come and save my soul
Come and save my soul

(Come and save my s-, ah)

Overall Meaning

Jan Leyk's song "SOS" is about how someone is hopelessly infatuated with another person. The lyrics describe how the subject is constantly thinking about the person they like, seeing them as a missing piece in their life, and sending messages to them in the hopes of a response. The lyrics convey the subject's feelings of desperation and urgency in trying to connect with the other person. They view every message they send as a plea for help which is why every WhatsApp message they send is an SOS.

The lyrics also suggest that the person they admire has a powerful effect on them that makes them feel alive and excited. The metaphor of shooting rockets high up into the sky indicates the excitement this person brings to the subject's life. The phrase "I'm living on the first floor but you make me feel high" shows how even though the subject has a lot going for them, they still feel incomplete without the special person they admire.

Overall, the song expresses the intense feelings of longing, desperation and desire in the face of unrequited love. It is about the helplessness of being in love and the hope that the person who completes them will eventually come around and respond to their messages.
