Verse 1
Mayday!
We've been going through some hard times lately.
We fight day and night for this love to survive but we're failin'.
It's so frustratin'
Mayday!
We're knocked down to the ground but to proud to tap out into safety.
It's suffocatin'!
Pre-Chorus
What if we have gone too far?
Are these the last beats of our highschool sweethearts?
What if we have gone too far?
It's not a false alarm, go call for CPR!
Chorus
It's not a false alarm, go call for CPR!
Verse 2
Mayday!
All the small things seem so complicated!
The sun has been gone for so long and we run out of patience!
It won't stop rainin'.
Mayday!
It's time for us to make some changes!
I know that It's cold at to the end of this road so i'm stayin'
And pray we'll make it!
Pre-Chorus
What if we have gone too far?
Are these the last beats of our highschool sweethearts?
What if we have gone too far?
It's not a false alarm, go call for CPR!
What if we have gone too far?
Are these the last beats of our highschool sweethearts?
What if we have gone too far?
It's not a false alarm, go call for CPR!
Chorus
What if we have gone too far?
Are these the last beats of our highschool sweethearts?
What if we have gone too far?
It's not a false alarm, go call for CPR!
The song "Mayday" by Ted Nights is a heart-wrenching ballad about a couple fighting to keep their relationship afloat. The song opens with the repeated word "Mayday," which is an international distress signal used by ships and aircrafts to indicate a life-threatening emergency. In this song, it symbolizes the couple's drowning relationship, and they're calling for help before it's too late. The couple has been going through hard times and fighting day and night to keep their love alive, but their efforts have been in vain.
The pre-chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with Ted Nights suggesting that the couple has gone too far in their relationship, and there's no turning back. He questions if these are the last beats of their high school sweethearts and if they've reached the point of no return. The chorus repeats the line, "It's not a false alarm, go call for CPR," emphasizing that the relationship is dying, and they need help to resuscitate it. The second verse highlights the couple's frustration due to the small things appearing so complicated. The sun has been gone for too long, and they have run out of patience; it won't stop raining. It's time for them to make some changes, even if it's cold at the end of the road.
In summary, "Mayday" is a passionate representation of how difficult it can be to keep a relationship working. Despite their best efforts, the couple may be moving towards the end of their love story. This song is a moving appeal for outside help and a plea for the couple, to force them to reassess their relationship and do what is needed to save it.
