Kaci Brown Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring at the phone all day won't make you call me
And sittin' here playin' it off won't change a thing
Writin' love letters that I'd never dare to send you, won't tell you
How far deep I've gone since I met you

I feel I'm stranded on an island
And you're miles away from here
I try to make waves but the ocean's quiet

Can anybody hear my SOS, my SOS?
(SOS, SOS, SOS)

Closing my eyes to the truth won't persuade you
And letting you hold my heart will only 'cause more pain
Whispering prayers in the wind cannot save me
'Cause I'm still holding on to what's been gone

I feel I'm stranded on an island
And you're miles away from here
I try to make waves but the ocean's quiet
Can anybody hear my SOS, my SOS?
(SOS, SOS)

I feel I'm stranded on an island
And you're miles away from here
I try to make waves but the ocean's quiet

Can anybody hear my SOS, my SOS?
(SOS, SOS, SOS)

Overall Meaning

In the song "SOS," Kaci Brown sings about the pain of unrequited love and the frustration that comes with trying to get someone's attention. The first verse talks about the various ways she has tried to reach out to her love interest, but nothing seems to work. She knows that staring at the phone or writing love letters that will never be sent won't make him call her or feel the same way she does. The second verse shows the realization that holding on to someone who doesn't want to be held will only cause more pain. Even though she tries to deny it, she knows that praying or wishing for his love won't save her from the heartache she feels. The chorus contains the metaphor of feeling stranded on an island and lost in the vast expanse of the ocean, trying to make waves but unable to catch anyone's attention.

Overall, "SOS" is a song about love, longing, and the feeling of being alone in a crowded world. It's an anthem for anyone who has ever loved someone who didn't love them back or who has felt isolated and forgotten. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and Kaci Brown's voice adds a layer of emotion that makes the song even more poignant.

I feel I'm stranded on an island And you're miles away from here I try to make waves but the ocean's quiet Can anybody hear my SOS, my SOS? (SOS, SOS, SOS)
I feel isolated and alone in this relationship while you seem so far away. I've been trying to make waves, but it seems like no one can hear me calling for help.
