Give It All
May of Sorrow Lyrics

The lyrics of May of Sorrow's song "Give It All" reflect a sense of frustration and hopelessness, as the singer seems trapped on a road to nowhere and unable to escape from their own limitations. They express a desire to be better than they are, but struggle with the price that comes with self-improvement. On top of this, there is a sense of distance between the singer and the person they are addressing, who always seems to be on the other side. The repetition of the lines "with everything I make I just push you away" and "with everything that you said there is nothing left for me" suggests that the singer's inability to change is causing strain in their relationship.

The chorus of the song speaks to a sense of circling back to the same old patterns despite efforts to move forward. The lines "nobody said that it's so easy, nobody said that it would be so hard" underscore the struggle that the singer is facing, while the final lines "are we going back to the end or to the start" express a sense of uncertainty and fear about what the future holds. The final verse of the song introduces the idea of shutting down emotionally in response to the difficulties of the relationship - the singer "refused to open [their] heart" because the other person was always "my disease." The final line, "take all the shame of my heart," suggests that the singer feels burdened and weighed down by their own perceived inadequacies, and desires release.
