Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

gone baby gone baby
out of my life
and i was wrong baby wrong
baby
to think that we could carry on
the way we did boy

no baby no
baby
i'm still not over you
i dream baby hope baby
and every night i'm
sending out
an s.o.s. now!


baby this is an emergency
save me from the
pain inside of me
lately i just can't go on
half a girl since you've been
gone
baby this is an emergency
help me, ease the pain inside of me
tell me,
how can i go on?
half a girl since you've been gone


gone baby gone
baby
out of my life
i gotta be strong baby, strong baby
and from the heart
i'm sending out
an s.o.s. now!


baby this is an emergency
save me from
the pain inside of me
lately i just can't go on
half a girl since you've been
gone
baby this is an emergency
help me, ease the pain inside of me
tell me,
how can i go on?
half a girl since you've been gone


sending loud and
clear- an s.o.s.
just to bring you near - an s. o.s.
flying through the
night




baby can you hear?
my s.o.s. now!

Overall Meaning

The song "Emergency" by Kim Leoni is a heartbroken anthem that explores the aftermath of a past failed relationship. It talks about moving on while still being stuck in the past. The opening lines of the song set the tone by explicitly stating that the person is gone and she was wrong to hope for a future. The chorus is a cry for help, an "s.o.s.", where the singer is begging for rescue from the pain that has taken over since the breakup. The lyrics also describe how she sends an "s.o.s." every night hoping for a response.


The chorus repeats, with the addition of the lyrics "half a girl since you've been gone." This phrase emphasizes the singer's sense of incompleteness after losing her significant other, as if a part of her is missing. The bridge is an interjection of "s.o.s."s that surges through, as the singer sends out her desperate call.


In summary, Kim Leoni's "Emergency" is an emotive pop-piece that is essentially a plea to a lost lover to come back and remove the pain that remains in the singer's heart.

Haha, this song helped me memorize the morse code for SOS, since I wasn't fluent in morse. My SAR partner just asked me why a recording of the song (a clip which did not include the code tone) was still my ringtone for him and I had to look it up to replay it for him. Still a fun song.
