The song is about a castaway who is lost at sea alone. He sends out an SOS message in a bottle to try to get rescued before he falls into despair from the loneliness. In a year, after writing his note, he walks on the shore and sees a hundred billion other bottles from other castaways also looking for a home, feeling like he's not alone in being alone. The chorus repeats that he's sending an SOS message to the world by putting it in a bottle, hoping that someone finds and gets his message.
