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 to Munich Philharmonic Orchestra's song S.O.S. reflect the pain and confusion of a relationship that has gone wrong. The singer is lamenting the loss of love, wondering where those happy times have gone and trying to understand what went wrong. The metaphor of S.O.S. reflects the singer's desperation, calling for help from a distance without receiving a response. The singer is unable to move on, as the pain continues to consume them.


The second stanza introduces the idea that the person who is causing the pain is still present, but distant. The singer is trying to understand what has changed, as they feel the other person had made them feel alive, yet now it seems that something has died. Again, they question what happened to their love, and how something that used to be so beautiful could have fallen apart.


Overall, the lyrics of S.O.S. are a poignant reflection of a relationship that has lost its way. The singer is struggling to make sense of their pain, desperately seeking to be saved from the feeling of emptiness that will not go away.
