In 2018 they headlined several tours in mainland Europe and the UK and released two standalone singles "Crown" and "Fugitive". Early in 2019 they toured in the UK supporting The Faim and Chapel and appeared at Rock for People. In early 2020, they toured Europe with Icon for Hire and released their next EP "Resilience" including hit singles like "Rockstar Everyday" and "Time Bomb" featuring Kellin Quinn from Sleeping With Sirens.
Halflives self-assigned the mission to create a space where everyone is invited to take a break from how messed up the world is and embrace who they are without any compromise. In vocalist Linda Battilani’s words, "some days it will still feel like everything sucks, but some other days I’ll stand on top of the mountain, and it’s those days I want to live for."
Mayday
Halflives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one can help me
So incomplete
Floating in a dark sea
So I lost who I am, sinking into black
But tonight I won′t stay
I will find the way to escape
Take me, come and take me away
Save me, can′t you hear my mayday?
Calling mayday
Calling mayday
Fix me, come and close my eyes and
Drive me to my paradise
Calling mayday
Calling mayday
So many lights I can see through the dark
I still don't know if I can trust anyone
I'm sick and tired of this starless night
Can′t you fill up my crave for daylight?
So I lost who I am, sinking into black
But tonight I won′t stay
I will find the way to escape
Oh no, just don't know where to go
Take me, come and take me away
Save me, can′t you hear my mayday?
Calling mayday
Calling mayday
Fix me, come and close my eyes and
Drive me to my paradise
Calling mayday
Calling mayday
My faded eyes
See the world in black and white
I feel like nothing
Has been
Painted bright
Take me, come and take me away
Save me, can't you hear my mayday?
Calling mayday
Calling mayday
Fix me, come and close my eyes and
Drive me to my paradise
Calling mayday
Calling mayday
Take me
Oh take me home
Calling mayday
Calling mayday
