The song tells the story of a castaway stranded alone on an island who sends out an SOS message in a bottle in hopes that someone will find and rescue them before they succumb to despair from the loneliness. A year passes and when the castaway sees a shoreline with hundreds of billions of bottles washed up, they realize they are not alone in feeling isolated and wanting to find a place to call home. The message conveys themes of loneliness, hope, and longing for human connection.

Just a castaway, on an island lost at sea,
Another lonely day, with no one here but me.
More loneliness, than any man could bear,
Rescue me before I fall into desapair.

A year has passed since I wrote my note,
But I should have known this right from the start.
Only hope can keep me together,
Love can mend your life, but love can break your heart.

Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw,
A hundred billion bottles, washed up on the shore.
Seems I'm not alone at being alone,
A hundred billion castaways, looking for a home.
