Mayday
Spoegwolf Lyrics

The lyrics of Spoegwolf’s song Mayday are moving and thought-provoking. The opening lyrics suggest a sense of purity and light associated with the character Rosmaryn, who stands on the line, perhaps a reference to a crossroad or a significant moment in her life. The following lines raise existential questions about the role of love after pain and redemption. The line “Sê my, Liewe Jesus, Is my kwota bereik?” can be translated as “Tell me, dear Jesus, have I reached my quota?” suggesting that the character is unsure whether she still has love left to give or whether she has met her limit after experiencing too much pain. The repetition of “Mayday” in the chorus creates a sense of urgency, almost like a distress call for help.

The second stanza of the song shifts to a dreamlike state, with the character hanging over the singer's dream like red paper and sending something significant. The reference to rain and the people singing "I will carry you" may hint at a rebirth or new beginning. The final stanza raises the question of whether two souls can meet after four hundred thousand years, highlighting the rarity of authentic connections in life. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and the search for meaning and love. The combination of the haunting melody and the evocative lyrics creates a sense of mystery and beauty.
