S.O.S.
The Synthesizer Rock 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 The Synthesizer Rock Orchestra's song S.O.S. deal with the feelings of a person who is struggling to come to terms with the disappearance of their love. The person wonders where the happy times have gone and is confused about why their partner has closed their mind to them. They express their confusion and wish to understand why the love they once shared is no longer there. The sense of longing and desperation is evident in the chorus when they plead for their partner to hear their S.O.S. and how nothing else can save them except their love. The person is unable to move on when their love is gone and is left feeling like they cannot go on without them.


The second verse builds upon the sense of distance between the two people even if they are physically near. The person acknowledges that their partner made them feel alive once, but something seems to have died since then. Even though they tried to fix the relationship or understand what happened, they are left feeling helpless and hopeless.


Overall, the lyrics of S.O.S. convey a sense of lost love and yearning for a love that once existed, but now seems out of reach. It is a heartbreaking depiction of the pain and confusion that accompanies the loss of a partner.
