Sting Edin Karamazov Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before i fall into despair, oh
I'll send an s.o.s. to the world
I'll send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
A year has passed since i wrote my note
But i should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but
Love can break your heart
I'll send an s.o.s. to the world
I'll send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Walked out this morning, don't believe what i saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home
I'll send an s.o.s. to the world
I'll send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.
The song "Message in a Bottle" by Sting and Edin Karamazov is a reflection on loneliness and the desire for connection, told through the metaphor of a castaway sending out an S.O.S. in a bottle. The first verse sets the scene, with the singer feeling completely isolated on an island in the middle of the sea. The loneliness is overwhelming, and he reaches out for help, hoping that someone will find his message in a bottle and come to his rescue.
The second verse reveals that a year has passed since the message was written, and the singer is still waiting for a reply. He reflects on the power of hope, which has kept him going through this time, but also acknowledges the potential for love to both heal and hurt. The final verse takes a slightly different turn, with the singer discovering that he is not alone in his isolation. The image of a beach covered in billions of messages in bottles highlights just how many people are also seeking connection in a world that can be indifferent and uncaring.
Overall, "Message in a Bottle" is a poignant and affecting song that captures the human experience of loneliness and the desire for connection.

Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
I'm alone and stranded on an island with no way to escape
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
Every day is filled with solitude and nobody to talk to
More loneliness than any man could bear
The immense loneliness is overwhelming and unbearable
Rescue me before i fall into despair, oh
Please help me before I lose all hope and become desperate
I'll send an s.o.s. to the world
I'm sending an urgent message to anyone who will listen
I hope that someone gets my
I'm praying that my message is received and understood
Message in a bottle, yeah
My message is written and tucked inside a bottle
A year has passed since i wrote my note
It's been a year since I wrote my plea for help
But i should have known this right from the start
I regret not realizing my loneliness and asking for help sooner
Only hope can keep me together
My hope is the only thing keeping me from falling apart
Love can mend your life but
Although love can heal, it can also bring heartbreak
Love can break your heart
Love has the power to shatter a person's heart
Walked out this morning, don't believe what i saw
I came across something unexpected this morning
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
I discovered countless messages in bottles that have washed ashore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
There are others like me who feel the same loneliness
Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home
There are countless people stranded and searching for a place to belong
Sending out at an s.o.s.
I continue to send out my plea for help
