S.O.S.
Joie / Dead Blonde Girlfriend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where are those happy days they seem to hard to find?
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?
When you're gone though I try how can I carry 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 chorus of the song is especially poignant as the singer calls out to their partner, begging them to hear their S.O.S. It is clear that the love that the partner gave was the only thing that could save the singer, and they are left feeling empty and lost without it. The pain of being alone is palpable as they question how they can even try to go on after their partner is gone.


Overall, the lyrics of "S.O.S." are a raw and emotional look at the aftermath of a failed relationship.
