S.O.S
MAD.hou5e Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your 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?

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. o. s.
And 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?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MAD.hou5e’s song S.O.S. are about lost love and trying to understand what happened to a once happy relationship. The opening lines express a longing for the “happy days” that seem to have disappeared, and a desire to connect with someone who has “closed [their] mind”. The singer is trying to make sense of the situation, asking “whatever happened to our love?” and wishing for understanding, as “it used to be so nice, it used to be so good”.


The chorus is a plea for help: “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.” The singer is using the distress signal S.O.S. to indicate the urgency of their situation, and to express that they are in need of assistance. When their partner is gone, they are struggling to “even try to go on”, and despite their efforts to move forward, they can’t seem to “carry on”. The second verse continues to explore the disconnect in the relationship, with the singer feeling that their partner is “so far away though [they] are standing near”. Although their partner once made them “feel alive”, something has now died, and they are left trying to make sense of what happened: “I really tried to make it out / I wish I understood / What happened to our love, it used to be so good”.


Overall, the lyrics of S.O.S. are a heartfelt expression of the pain and confusion that can come with the end of a relationship. The singer is grappling with the loss of something that once brought them joy, and struggling to understand what went wrong. The repeated refrain of “S.O.S.” emphasizes the urgency and desperation of the situation, and underscores the deep emotional impact that the breakup has had.
