Formerly called So Band, they came to be known as Mayday in 1997, with the name originating from Masa's online nickname. Dubbed as “the Beatles of the Chinese-speaking world”, Mayday has won many awards in their career, including the Golden Melody Award for Best Band, an award given by the Taiwanese Ministry of Culture, in 2001, 2004, 2009 and 2012.

Mayday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
斗智斗不过温暖棉被
水龙头里 流出眼泪
又是残酷的美好一天
眼前有一千件事 正等着解决
Everybody 想要改变
Everything won't be ok
七点的一杯咖啡 八点的红绿灯 斑马线
活在疯狂世界 活在美好的明天
重重考验 来到今天
不知不觉改变 远离每个昨天
那些笑和眼泪 没有时间说再见
喜怒哀乐 苦辣酸甜
终于了解 这就是生活的滋味
耶耶耶
生活太近 梦想太远
午餐是吃饭还是吃面
喜欢忙碌 搞得很累
电话吵醒的星期天
珍惜的浪费时间 换来了的生命的缺
理想划过天边 爱情呀与我擦肩
分不清东南西北 分不清我的地 我的天
A crying game everyday
活在疯狂世界 活在美好的明天
重重考验 来到今天
不知不觉改变 远离每个昨天
那些笑和眼泪 没有时间说再见
喜怒哀乐 苦辣酸甜
终于了解 这就是生活的滋味
耶 叭啦叭啦叭啦叭啦叭啦叭
是不是会有答案 在终点后面
当初的我的信念 现在的我又是谁
狂奔的每个白天 寂寞的每个夜
慢慢发现 I'm superman
Everyday
活在疯狂世界 活在美好的明天
重重考验 来到今天
不知不觉改变 远离每个昨天
那些笑和眼泪 没有时间说再见
梦的边缘 我在徘徊
终于了解 这就是生活的滋味
呀咿呀咿耶
叭啦叭啦叭啦叭啦叭啦叭
The lyrics of Mayday's song "生活" (Life) paint a vivid picture of the struggles and complexities of everyday life. The opening lines set the scene of a constant battle that we face, where we are trying to navigate through challenges that seem insurmountable. The imagery of tears flowing from the tap and the harsh reality of yet another seemingly beautiful yet cruel day highlight the bittersweet nature of life.
As the lyrics delve deeper, they touch on the overwhelming burden of tasks and responsibilities that weigh us down, creating a sense of restlessness and urgency to bring about change. The mention of a cup of coffee, traffic lights, and crosswalks symbolize the mundane routine and chaos of daily life that we often find ourselves caught up in. The repetition of the phrase "A busy game everyday" emphasizes the fast-paced nature of modern life where we are constantly juggling multiple demands and pressures.
The lyrics explore how life presents us with constant challenges and tests that shape who we are today. The fleeting moments of joy and sadness, the blend of emotions, and the harsh realities we face all contribute to the intricate tapestry of life's experiences. Through the ups and downs, we come to a deeper understanding of the diverse flavors of life, including joy, anger, sorrow, and various other emotions.
Towards the end of the song, there is a sense of introspection and contemplation on the meaning and purpose of life. The search for answers, the questioning of one's identity, and the realization of personal strength and resilience come to the forefront. The lyrics culminate in a powerful affirmation of embracing life's challenges, accepting its uncertainties, and savoring its complexities, ultimately leading to a profound understanding of the essence of living.

好喜歡以前的演唱會模式
雖然沒有太華麗的舞臺,但是每個觀眾都都很投入在這個演唱會之中,幾乎每一個人都用站的,要跳就用力跳,手也很用力的揮啊揮,沒有人滑手機,也沒有人一直拍照、錄影甚至直播
好想參加一次這種模式演唱會!!
野生兔兔
以前人數場次都少 台下都是鐵粉 現在鐵粉都被稀釋了
Jun P
台灣應該要像日本一樣場內禁止手機拍照錄影
要一直盯著自己的小螢幕還來演唱會幹嘛
那些傢伙有夠掃興
Ting Mayday
現在的觀眾變得好冷靜
陳慈妃
現在老了,跳不動惹
Only柴胡
我年底要去五月天在台中的跨年演唱會,好期待!!!
MC
總是在活到了五月天寫這首歌的那個年紀的時候 突然懂了他們當時寫出這首歌的那些感受 於是覺得又有動力繼續往下走了
