Mayday mayday yeah I think I gotta lose her
I’m all out of love so I skrt off in a cruiser

Mayday mayday I’m ok if ima pass her
She my drug of choice and I know she know my name
You ain’t gotta worry yeah I know I’ll be ok
Promise I’m ok I just think I need a break

Ima pack my bag girl I know you’ll never stay oh

In Rich Tyler's song "Mayday," the lyrics convey a sense of emotional turmoil and the desire to escape from a toxic relationship. The repeated phrase "Mayday Mayday" signifies a cry for help or a realization that something is not right in the singer's world.
The first verse introduces the idea that the singer feels trapped in a cold and unhappy environment. They express the need to "lose her" or break free from the person causing their distress. The mention of being "all out of love" suggests that the relationship has lost its warmth and meaning. The singer asserts that they will be okay if they are the one to end the relationship, indicating a willingness to prioritize their own well-being.
The second verse reveals the singer's reliance on substances to cope with their emotional pain. They mention moving away from prescription drugs (known as "percies") as they recognize the harmful effects they can have on their mental health. However, the singer also confesses that their partner, who they refer to as their "drug of choice," knows how to manipulate and control them. Despite this realization, they express a desire to numb themselves and escape from the overwhelming heartbreak they are experiencing.
The third verse goes deeper into the singer's emotional state. They feel abandoned and deceived by their partner, who claimed to love them but left them in the cold. The line "When you stab me with a knife and you call it X and Os" metaphorically represents the pain caused by their partner's actions. The singer reflects on the emptiness and loneliness they now feel, burning the notes sent to them by their former partner as a symbol of moving on.
In the final chorus, the singer makes a decision to leave the toxic relationship for good. They acknowledge that it may be difficult, but they express a determination to pack their bags and move on, knowing that their partner will never stay. The repetition of "Mayday Mayday" reinforces the urgency and importance of getting out of this cold and damaging world. The lyrics overall highlight the singer's struggle to break free from a toxic relationship and find solace and healing.
