S.O.S.
Liam Lynch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

SOS - I don't even know whose house this is...
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 - If this keeps keeps up then we're gonna drown

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!

Throughout the song, Lynch captures the heady mix of pleasure and danger inherent in this kind of scene. The singer is simultaneously exhilarated and terrified, struggling to keep his footing as the ground beneath him shifts and quakes. He's on the edge of something big and unpredictable, and it's impossible to know what will happen next.


Overall, the lyrics to SOS are a powerful commentary on the seductive allure of excess and the dangers of losing yourself in the moment. The singer is clearly in over his head, but he can't seem to pull himself away. It's a cautionary tale, reminding us of the importance of moderation and self-control even in the midst of chaos.
