S.O.S
Munich Philharmonic Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where are those happy days they seem to hard to find?
I try to reach for you. but you have closed my 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?





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 Munich Philharmonic Orchestra's "S.O.S." talks about the search for the happy days that seem elusive and unreachable. It is a song about love and longing for a lost relationship. The singer tries to reach out to the other person but they are no longer receptive. They are standing near, yet they seem so far away. The singer cannot understand what happened to the love that used to be nice and good. The love that made them feel alive now feels dead.


The chorus of the song is a plea for help, for the other person to hear them and save them from their pain. The love that was once given was the only thing that could save them. When the other person is gone, the singer cannot even try to go on, and carrying on feels impossible. The song portrays the struggles of a relationship that has lost its spark, where the love that was once abundant becomes scarce and eventually dissipates into nothing.
