Mayfly
Albin Lee Meldau Lyrics

The lyrics to Albin Lee Meldau's song Mayfly speak about the ephemeral nature of love and its power to create a sense of home within one's heart. The opening lines "I miss your love, But I miss nothing else" suggest that the singer has lost someone they love and that although they are nostalgic for the feeling of love, they do not miss the material things that came with it.

The next line, "That place within you my babe, Which the universe dwells" is a powerful metaphor for the ability of love to create a sense of belonging and unity within a relationship. It suggests that within the loved one, the universe resides, implying a deeply spiritual and emotional connection. The following lines "What is a king Without his queen? Only one day the Mayfly flew On a silver screen" allude to the vulnerability of love and how it can be taken away in an instant.

The next verse "What is a home, Without it's name? Destined to sink my babe When the mighty waves came" suggests that without love, a home is nothing more than a physical structure and that without love, everything will eventually crumble. The singer expresses their love through "love letters" and how they are "stuck in a trash" which suggests that their love exists despite the seemingly hopeless situation. The final line "My love for you 'gone be just like a circle, And no circle has an end" is hopeful and suggests that love is eternal and will always continue.
