J'ai peur de l'indifférence
Je prends la parole pourtant à mon tour
J'aurais du faire le détour
Les mots glissent, glissent, glissent
Pourtant pensés
Glissent, glissent, glissent
Pourtant en français
Des phrases agencées
À l'effet boomerang, elles me reviennent
Alors je me renferme, je suis seule avec moi
Pour parler à soi-même on ne dérange que soi
Refermée sur moi-même, mes vérités et moi
Je serai bien plus sereine à en parler tout bas
Alors on lance des
Mayday Mayday Mayday hé hé hé
On lance des
Mayday Mayday Mayday hé hé hé
On lance des
Mayday Mayday Mayday hé hé hé
On lance des
Mayday Mayday Mayday
Parce que j'ai peur du silence
J'ai peur des routes immenses
Les chemins courent vers le désamour
Plusieurs fois fais demi-tour
Les mots glissent, glissent, glissent
Pourtant pensés
Glissent, glissent, glissent
Pourtant censés
Pourtant en français
Des phrases agencées
À l'effet boomerang, elles me reviennent
Alors je me renferme, je suis seule avec moi
Pour parler à soi-même, on ne dérange que soi
Refermée sur moi-même, mes vérités et moi
Je serai bien plus sereine à en parler tout bas
Alors on lance des
Mayday Mayday Mayday hé hé hé
On lance des
Mayday Mayday Mayday hé hé hé
On lance des

Kid Ink, I swear, I swear, I swear
Why somebody always gotta say somethin'?
Think I need me a vacation
Little bottle, molly and some reggae drums
I see 'em still, wear my shades in public
'Cause they shadin', judgin'
I don't care if they hate it or love it
I'm just tryin' to stay above it, babe
But they could still get the humble fade
Talkin' 'bout me like Gossip Girl
Swear they sweeter than crème brulée
M-m-mayday, mayday
Woke up thinking 'bout the payday
My alarm and the whole world, we goin' crazy
Alors je me renferme, je suis seule avec moi
Pour parler à soi-même, on ne dérange que soi
Renfermée sur moi-même, mes vérités et moi
Je serai bien plus sereine à parler tout bas
Alors on lance des mayday, mayday, mayday, oh hey hey hey
On lance des mayday, mayday, mayday, oh hey hey hey
On lance des mayday, mayday, mayday, oh hey hey hey
On lance des mayday, mayday, mayday
The lyrics of Mundy's song "Mayday" portray a sense of desperation and fear of falling. The singer is calling out for help, as he feels his plane is about to crash. The first verse establishes the urgency of the situation and the singer's plea to be rescued. The second verse underscores the feeling of being stuck and unable to move, as well as a sense of regret and self-blame. The repetition of "Let me down slowly when you're letting me down," creates a paradoxical sense of both relief and resistance to the impending fall.
The lyrics of "Mayday" can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the listener's perspective. The song could be seen as a metaphor for a personal crisis or a struggle to let go of something that we no longer have control over. The idea of falling and being rescued can represent the need for someone to come to our aid and help us get back on our feet. The reference to being "holy" could also suggest a desire for redemption or forgiveness.
Overall, Mundy's "Mayday" is a poignant and emotional song that speaks to the human experience of vulnerability and the need for support in difficult times.
Line by Line Meaning
Mayday, mayday do you read me?
Asking if someone is listening for help.
I think I'm about to fall
In danger of failing or collapsing.
The bottom is rising faster
The situation is getting worse quickly.
Do you heed my call?
Are you paying attention to my request for help?
'cause I've been up here so damn long in this mean old plain
Been in a difficult situation for a prolonged time.
And there's fever in my cabin, Lord and I'm hangin' from the mane......
Feeling overwhelmed and barely hanging on.
Let me down slowly when you're lettin' me down
Asking for a gentle descent from a difficult situation.
I promise to be holy when you're letting me down
Committing to being a better person when things improve.
Oh! come on let me down
Urgently asking for assistance.
the breaks are all ceased up
Unable to stop or slow down.
I can hardly move, my bones are all ceased up
Feeling stuck and unable to progress.
And there's only me to blame, that's right
Admitting to personal responsibility for the current situation.
I'm cracking up
Starting to lose mental and emotional stability.

Ioana Trifonovna
Because I'm scared of the silence
I'm scared of the indifference
It's my turn to talk however
I should've made a detour
The words slip, slip, slip
Although thoughtful
Slip, slip, slip
Although full of sense
Although in French
Arranged sentences
Like a boomerang effect, they come back to me
So I withdraw into myself, I'm alone with myself
To talk to ourselves, we disturb ourselves only
Withdrawn into myself, my truths and I
I'll be much more serene talking about it softly
So we send mayday, mayday, mayday oh eh eh eh
We send mayday, mayday, mayday oh eh eh eh
We send mayday, mayday, mayday oh eh eh eh
We send mayday, mayday, mayday
Because I'm scared of the silence
I'm scared of the immense roads
The paths are running toward the disenchantment
Turning back several times
The words slip, slip, slip
Although thoughtful
Slip, slip, slip
Although full of sense
Although in French
Arranged sentences
Like a boomerang effect, they come back to me
So I withdraw into myself, I'm alone with myself
To talk to ourselves, we disturb ourselves only
Withdrawn into myself, my truths and I
I'll be much more serene talking about it softly
So we send mayday, mayday, mayday oh eh eh eh
We send mayday, mayday, mayday oh eh eh eh
We send mayday, mayday, mayday oh eh eh eh
We send mayday, mayday, mayday
Kid Ink, I swear, I swear, I swear
Why somebody always gotta say somethin'?
Think I need me a vacation
Little bottle, molly and some reggae drums
I see 'em still, wear my shades in public
'Cause they shadin', judgin'
I don't care if they hate it or love it
I'm just tryin' to stay above it, babe
But they gon' still get the humble fate
Talkin' 'bout me like acid, girl
Swear they'll speak till they crumble, love
M-m-mayday, mayday, we're done thinking 'bout the payday
My alarm in the whole world, we goin' crazy
So I withdraw into myself, I'm alone with myself
To talk to ourselves, we disturb ourselves only
Withdrawn into myself, my truths and I
I'll be much more serene talking about it softly
So we send mayday, mayday, mayday oh eh eh eh
We send mayday, mayday, mayday oh eh eh eh
We send mayday, mayday, mayday oh eh eh eh
We send mayday, mayday, mayday

AAAAAAAH enfin la Shy'm des débuts ! Ca fait du bien de la retrouver, c'est enfin elle qui a écrit la moitié des chansons, on retrouve sa folie dans ce titre. J'aime beaucoup, ça fait bouger, un bon son pour nous rebooster pendant l'hiver! Bravo ma belle ! Quant à ceux qui critiquent, quand vous ferez un duo avec un rappeur américain et que vos chansons passeront à la Fashion Week de New York vous pourrez parler ! En attendant écoutez et admirez Shy'm :))
