S.O.S.
Suicide Machines Lyrics

I take a look around, I don't like what I see
Observing the world around, and feeling dissatisfied with what it presents

A bunch of people who don't know shit about unity
Noticing that people lack understanding and awareness of what true unity entails

I see right through your skin, you say you see through mine
Recognizing the facade of superficial differences, and perceiving an inability in others to do the same

Then please explain to me why we fight all the time
Questioning the rationale behind continuous conflicts despite the common shared values

I can't take it anymore, this is bothering me
Feeling overwhelmed and disturbed by the state of things

Got people killing each other
Noticing the perpetration of extreme violence on fellow humans

Why does this have to be?
Wondering why the world is so consumed by hate and aggression

I wish I knew, I really wish I knew
Expressing a desire for answers and solutions to this complicated issue

How people can see there's no real difference between me and you
Expressing frustration that the lack of recognition of the basic human sameness that exists between individuals

It's a bomb with a short fuse
Describing the situation as a ticking time bomb, with little time left

And I know it seems like no use
Acknowledging the aforementioned problem and realizing that the difficulties of solving these issues

The tensions building a reaction
The mounting tensions are leading to ever higher chances of confrontation and negative outcomes

This is a call to action
An urgent plea for people to take action immediately

S.O.S. we need help
The band is symbolically echoing the call for help heard in times of crises to raise awareness to the gravity of the situation at hand

Mans inhumanity towards another man
Highlighting the pervasive and critical problem of humans being cruel to others

It's man's insanity and ignorance again
Lamenting how humans have continually been the perpetrators of unwarranted hostility and discrimination based on ignorance

And now the time had come to stop whats going on
Affirming that immediate action is imperative for a change to be instituted

The hatreds building up, exploding like a bomb
Emphasizing how the simmering hostilities must not be allowed to reach a boiling point, which could lead to massive devastation

The bomb is gotta stop, the bomb is gonna pop
Repeating the message that we must confront the problem and defuse the situation, or risk catastrophic consequences

Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop
The repeated dropping of beats in the song signals the impending fallout if no action is taken
