Mayday
Breaking Through Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pushing me over the line
That's what you've
Been trying so hard to
Do with me
I won't give up on
A fight like this
So show me what you've got there lady
I'm not a man who lives with regret
I'm not giving up on this just yet
With so much left to get off my chest
PLease tell me why I'm still here waiting

Mayday! Mayday!
The ship is sinking now
Maybe, maybe,
It's all over now
Tell me, tell me,
The water feels alright
And now I know
I'm not afraid to die

You're never wrong
I'm always right
It's never the song to make you smile
You hate every lyric I have to write
Told me you liked it out of spite

Off to the bars where I can hide
To drink away my selfish pride
Hopefully not another fight
When I come home for the last time
(For the last time!)

Mayday! Mayday!
The ship is sinking now
Maybe, maybe,
It's all over now
Tell me, tell me,
The water feels alright
And I'm not afraid to die

Light the flare
Signal for hope
I'm caught in
The undertow

Light the flare
Signal for hope
I'm caught in
The undertow

Light the flare
Signal for hope
I'm caught in
The undertow

Mayday, mayday
I might now make it out

Mayday! Mayday!
The ship is sinking now
Maybe, maybe
It's all over now
Tell me, tell me
The water feels alright
And I'm not afraid to die

Mayday! Mayday!
The ship is sinking now
Maybe, maybe
It's all over now




Can we please figure this out
Before I die?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Breaking Through's song Mayday seem to be about a fight between two people in a relationship. The singer of the song is determined not to give up on the relationship, but it appears that his partner has been trying to push him over the edge. Despite this, he plans to fight for their relationship and challenges his partner to show him what she's got. The lines "Mayday! Mayday! The ship is sinking now, Maybe, maybe It's all over now" suggest that the relationship is in a dire situation and the singer might even be ready to let it go. However, he seems to be on the edge of the sinking ship but is not afraid to die.


There's a feeling of hopelessness and desperation throughout the song. The singer is caught in the undertow and is seeking a signal for hope. He drinks away his selfishness to hide from his problems but eventually heads home, possibly for the last time. The repeated lines of “Light the flare, Signal for hope” reinforce the sense of hoping for a way out of the misery that the singer is feeling.
