The One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I need an SOS
I'm stuck out here
And I don't know how to get back
Recently I've been too far in my head
I keep overthinking things and it has led
Me down dark paths, wishing myself to be dead
So I reach out to anybody who's willing to take my SOS
But to be honest, I rather be in bed
Anxiety and depression in stone it has been set
Why do I keep treating my family with neglect
I don't call I don't even fucking text
But they know in their hearts I wish them all the best
And I know it makes them upset
One instance fills me with regret
My pop passed, I spoke to him once a month at my best
Yeah I said at my best
I should have spoke more, before he left
Twice now I've been Deja vu ing peoples deaths
This life is a simulation and I need an SOS
All I need is an SOS
Yeah all I need is an SOS
Too far up in my head
Too far gone, now I rather be dead
Yeah all I need is an SOS
An SOS
Too far up in my head
Too far gone, now I rather be dead
Yeah all I need is an SOS
It feels like I've crossed the line
Lately i been reminiscing what a waste of time
It really hits at night, all the fucking could've, would've where's the wine at?
I know
Tell me where's my spine at?
Climbing out of bed feels like I'm chained to a micro-van
God, it's so hard to break the cycle
running round with my head off 'till I'm idle
Yeah all I need is an SOS
Too far up in my head
Too far gone now I rather be dead
Yeah all I need is an SOS
All I need an SOS
Too far up in my head
Too far gone now I rather be dead
Yeah all I need an SOS
I thought it's going to be a while before someone gets this
So I'm going to take in awe at this dying star
It's happening right now, right here
The Halcyon System
The One's song, S.O.S in a State of Emergency, is a commentary on the pressure to conform that individuals face in society. The lyrics speak to the feeling of being constantly monitored and judged by others, to the point where an individual can feel trapped and alone. The line "Is there nowhere I could go? Somewhere you couldn't see," speaks to the feeling of being constantly watched and judged, even in moments of privacy.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of mental health and the struggle to fit in. The lyrics "My life is a mess, I'm a total waste," highlight the sense of inadequacy and failure that can come with trying to live up to societal expectations. The mention of pills that don't work and the feeling of not fitting in further emphasizes the struggle to maintain mental wellbeing and conform to societal expectations.
Overall, the song conveys a message of longing for freedom and escape from the pressure of society. The repeated call for an S.O.S expresses the desire for connection and support in a state of emergency where an individual feels unable to cope.
