Mayday
Abbie Falls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You left us to suffer
The world slowly withers away
Like a tidal wave of overwhelming sea
We destroy each other
No unity
Mayday
Smother the desire burning inside
We are the creatures of greed
We choose violence
Over senses
Money over life
Money over life
We´re living on the edge
Until our breath runs out
Everything, we gave up everything
Dont you see
Everything, the price is everything
Burn it all down
Rule is to point the blame
Expose my nightmare
Kill your loved ones
The future is cancelled
Cause we are the cancer
Last grain of hope is trampled to the ground
You left us to suffer
The world slowly withers away
Like a tidal wave of overwhelming sea
We destroy each other
No unity
We destroy each other
You left us to suffer
Suffer
The song Mayday by Abbie Falls speaks about the destruction and downfall of humanity due to our own selfishness, greed, and lack of unity. The opening lines "last grain of hope is trampled to the ground, you left us to suffer" suggest that humanity has reached a point where there is no hope left and we are left to suffer the consequences of our own actions. The world is deteriorating slowly, like a tidal wave of overwhelming sea, and we are destroying each other without any regard for unity. The chorus "smother the desire burning inside, we are the creatures of greed" highlights how our constant need for more and more material possessions and meaningless desires have taken over our inner selves. We are willing to choose violence over senses and money over life, which has led us to the edge of destruction where we continue to live until our breath runs out.
The second half of the song talks about the extreme consequences of our actions. The lines "everything, the price is everything, burn it all down" suggest that we have sacrificed everything for our desires, and now we are willing to even burn down everything that we have once loved. The rules are to point fingers and blame others, and we are exposed to our own nightmares where we are even willing to kill our own loved ones. The future is uncertain and cancelled as we have become the cancer of our own existence. The repetition of the first verse and chorus suggests that there is no end in sight, and we continue to destroy each other without any unity.
