SOS
Drowning in Desperation: Fates Warning's SOS Unveiled
Lyrics
We wait for days
We are anticipating for an extended period.
The hours can't replace
Time passing cannot fill the void left.
That moment of walking away
Reflecting on the moment of separation.
There's none to blame
No specific person to hold responsible.
But buildings still remain
Structures endure, though devoid of life.
Their empty halls fading away
Empty buildings echo the past.
And now I
Introducing a personal perspective.
I can feel the rain
Sensory experience of rain.
Falling on me
Rainfall directly affecting the speaker.
I can see the waters rising
Awareness of rising challenges.
Undermining me
Feeling undermined by difficulties.
I can feel the rain
Reiteration of the rain sensation.
Wash over me
Being enveloped by the rain.
Can the places and the faces
Questioning the preservation of places and faces.
In the flood be saved
Contemplating the possibility of salvation in the flood.
Now the darkness fades
Transitioning from darkness to clarity.
And thoughts fall in to place
Organizing thoughts as understanding dawns.
Let the flood take away
Welcoming the flood to cleanse past pain.
The pain of yesterday
Expressing a desire to let go of yesterday's suffering.
Sink or swim
Presented with a choice between sinking or swimming.
Sink or swim
Reiteration of the sink or swim dilemma.
So now I
Continuation of personal narrative.
I can feel the rain
Revisiting the sensory experience of rain.
Falling on me
Rainfall affecting the speaker once again.
I can see the flood is rising
Acknowledging the rising flood's impact.
Undermining me
Feeling undermined by the intensifying challenges.
I can feel the rain
Reiteration of the rain sensation.
Wash over me
Being immersed and cleansed by the rain.
Can the places and the faces
Questioning the possibility of saving places and faces in the flood.
In the flood be saved
Pondering on the potential for salvation in the flood.
