They are locally regarded as the best rock band after Beyond, a popular rock band that is based in Hong Kong. Mayday's songs resonate greatly with many Taiwanese youths who can identify with their themes of love, world peace and growing up. They are also influenced by The Beatles, which is their favourite group whom they aspire to be like.
Their music has the unique ability to bring the listener to his feet or move the listener to tears. They sing songs mostly in Taiwanese and Chinese although some fans profess that their Taiwanese songs are more emotional and touching. Unlike some rock bands, they also project a clean and healthy image and have never been seen smashing musical instruments willfully, drinking or gambling. Mayday represent the zeitgeist of the Taiwanese and Chinese youth who identify with the band's themes of innocence, childhood, dreams, aspirations, loneliness and determination. At the same time, the band's unique outlook on life has attracted many fans who find their views refreshing.

五月天 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
讓我觸摸到星星
在一個夏日夜裡
走入了你的森林
聆聽著你的呼吸
世界就睡在夢里
孤單都已經離去
只留下 天和地
看著我 的眼睛
為什麼 要哭泣
那幸福 太容易
讓我不敢相信
一起穿一件雨衣
後座你抱得好緊
風雨中美好回憶
愛過的那些歌曲
有一天再也不聽
我想你知道原因
黑夜終究要黎明
如果我 如果你
天一亮 要往哪裡去
看著我 的眼睛
為什麼 要哭泣
那幸福 太容易
讓我不敢相信
勾勾手 蓋手印
這一刻 有約定
那愛情 變美麗
因為我開始相信
看著我 的眼睛
為什麼 要哭泣
那幸福 太容易
讓我不敢相信
勾勾手 蓋手印
這一刻 有約定
那愛情 變美麗
因為我開始相信
故事的最後結局
結束在那年冬季
孤單的冰冷風裡
於是我問問自己
還能不能夠相信
另一段愛情靠近
啦啦啦 啦啦啦 啦啦啦 現在是２００１
永遠的２００１
跟想像有點距離
我將他唱在歌里
曾經屬於我們的相信
希望我們永遠都不要忘記
啦啦啦 啦啦啦 啦啦啦
The lyrics to 五月天's song 相信 (Believe) describe the singer's intimate experience with someone they care deeply about. The song opens with the singer saying that the person has shared a secret with them and made them feel like they're touching the stars. They describe walking into the other person's forest and listening to their breath while the world slept in a dream. They feel like their loneliness has gone and they're left with the sky, the earth, and the other person. The singer wonders why the other person is crying since happiness is too easy, and they feel like they can't believe it.
The song shifts to a memory the singer shares with the other person, where they were both in a raincoat and the other person held them tightly. They reflect on how their love songs won't be heard again someday, and they want the other person to know why. The singer seems hesitant about the future when they ask where they should go when they both wake up to another day. They repeat the idea that happiness is too easy and make a pact with the other person to believe in love to make it beautiful. The song ends with the singer questioning whether they can believe in love again while they're surrounded by the cold wind of loneliness.
The lyrics of 相信 (Believe) contain themes of intimacy, trust, and the hesitation that comes with the possibility of heartbreak. The forest and the stars are used as symbols for the intimate space the singer shares with the other person. The idea of happiness being too easy is also recurring throughout the song, hinting at the fear of vulnerability and that true happiness might feel unattainable. The song's sentiment about love, and specifically the belief in it, is positive overall. The lyrics express the hope that even when faced with potential heartbreak, we must believe in love to make it beautiful.

我還記得這張專輯發行的時候，
剛好是高中的時候，
因為擔心五人暫時分散後，
就再也無法回到原本的樣子，
所以我每天聽，每天唱，
永遠的2001...
沒想到，
如今的五月天，
真的再也回不到從前的模樣。。。

青春只有一次
青春的五月天也只有一次
有些歌也只能在那青春的年紀寫下
他們變了 長大了
而我們也是
為什麼覺得以前的歌特別好聽
因為你聽的是記憶中那些美好的片刻
心中仍然迷戀 青春時熱血的一切
在他們的歌中
真的能走過人生各種階段
用力生活的他們無比迷人

跟他一起時，聽這首歌覺得很感動：
勾勾手 蓋手印 這一刻 有約定
那愛情 變美麗
因為我開始相信
後來他離開了我，再點進這首歌，才發現我們的結局早就注定了：
故事的最後結局 結束在那年冬季
孤獨的冰冷風裡
於是我問問自己
還能不能相信
另一段愛情靠近

有時會突然想起
誰知道真的如期
貧窮雖然會哭泣
但我依然不死心
就這樣始終如一
快樂終於要降臨
我和你 你和他 她和他
迎接著奇蹟
抬頭看 藍天裡 有什麼 守護你
這世界 變美麗 我們笑容洋溢
貧窮不再被鄙夷
外人不再會嫌棄
殘缺的心被補齊
守護神會保護你
保護著所有居民
不會再默默啜泣
快樂一定會降臨
我和你 你和他 她和他
迎接著奇蹟
抬頭看 藍天裡 有什麼 守護你
這世界 變美麗 我們笑容洋溢
一切都不會放棄
一切都回到平靜
這樣的快樂情景
於是我開始相信
守護會一直隨行
氣氛不會再低迷
La～La～La～
快樂永遠會與你
從此不會再暫停
跟守護一起並行
我終於找到意義
活著的那份意義
我相信我們會與快樂同行
La～La～La～

真不敢相信已經2018了，有時候聽這首歌都還覺得像是現在還在2001年。
原來五月天已經陪著我19年了，能在1999年入坑成為五迷，跟五月天在同一個時代很幸福。自己還是一事無成的上班族，五月天則已經是世界級的了，很驕傲我喜歡五月天!
好哦
真不敢相信已經2023了，有時候聽這首歌都還覺得像是現在還在2001年。

那年五月天的暫時告別演唱會下著雨，大家用盡力氣哭喊著不要走
而現在，每次下雨卻不代表分離
而是代表大家都回來了，代表五月天和五迷不再分離
未來的每一年我們都會在

永遠記得國小那年暑假結尾，爸爸突然提議全家一起南下去玩，經過愛河時聽到的尖叫聲，然後聽了歌從此愛上五月天。謝謝搖滾詩人阿信，謝謝我的青春有五月天，在很多迷茫的時候，給了我很多力量 。

12年前才國一，當時就很喜歡五月天，可是那時心裡單純覺得好聽，很棒，現在12年後還是再聽，感受卻很多很多。每首歌都有故事了 唱到心裡!!!
