Liam Lynch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
SOS - But I know I'm a friend of a friend of his...
SOS - I'd get out but I can't find the door
SOS - I hope it's somewhere on the floor
SOS - This ain't a party, this is sick
SOS - I've lost count and I can't quit
SOS - So turn it up 'cause we're going down
SOS!
Where's my lighter? SOS
My Shirt feels tighter... SOS
I found a fiver. SOS
My brain's on fire...
This poor ship is going down
We're overboard and wasted now
If you're gonna say,
What I think you're gonna say...
Yeah.....
SOS! Our gears are stripped, we're so out of whack
SOS! No use in holding nothing back.
SOS! Nights like these are rare indeed
SOS! So raise em in the air for me...
SOS! SOS! SOS!
The lyrics of Liam Lynch's "S.O.S" depict a party that has gotten out of control, with the singer clearly unable to keep up with the debauchery happening around him. He doesn't even know whose house it is and is only there because he is a "friend of a friend of his." The repeated use of "S.O.S" throughout the song conveys a sense of desperation and fear, as the singer realizes that things are spiraling out of control and he doesn't know how to stop it. He talks about wanting to leave but being unable to find the door and feeling like he's drowning as the party continues on.
The second verse continues to add to the chaos, with the singer searching for his lighter, feeling like his shirt is too tight, and finding a random fiver (slang for a five-pound note) in his pocket. He describes his "brain's on fire," emphasizing the overwhelming intensity of the situation. The final lines of the song suggest that the partygoers are aware that things have gone too far, but they can't help but revel in the chaos.
Overall, the lyrics of "S.O.S" paint a vivid picture of a party that has gone completely out of control, with the singer struggling to keep up and ultimately realizing that he's in over his head. The use of the titular phrase throughout the song underscores the sense of desperation and the idea that the party is beyond saving.
