Judgement Day
Members of Mayday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Members of Mayday's song Judgement Day talk about the history and evolution of house and techno music as a cultural movement that brought people together regardless of their nationality or background. The song begins with the acknowledgement that music was the starting point for this collective experience that transcended all sorts of barriers. However, the people in power initially ignored this phenomenon, perhaps labeling it as a fad or a silly trend that would eventually fade away. But the opposite happened - the party scene grew stronger and more diverse, leading to a broader sense of community and belonging.
This newfound energy and passion for music soon became a target for repression and censorship from the authorities. Nevertheless, the song's lyrics express that the movement cannot be stopped or extinguished. The bridge of the song sums up this sentiment by stating "Forward ever. Backward never", highlighting that the movement shall carry on and persist regardless of the challenges it may face.
In summary, the song is a celebration of the cultural unity that music and parties can bring forth, and a call to action for people to keep fighting against those who try to silence or diminish this vital expression of freedom and joy.

In the beginning was music - house and techno
At the start, there existed forms of music like house and techno
and they ignored it
It was disregarded at first
but it became bigger
As it progressed, it grew larger in following
and people of all nations came together in order to dance
Individuals from different countries converged to revel in the music through dancing
they called it a hype and said it was over
Critics dubbed it a temporary fad that would die down soon
but it still developed and it grew into a movement
Despite criticism, it evolved into a more significant cultural phenomenon
Now they try to forbid it
Currently, there are attempts to ban it
but they can't stop it
However, these attempts are futile
Forward ever
Press on steadily
Backward never
Never retreat
