Mayday
The Duke Spirit/UNKLE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ebb and you flow
It's uh, a bit screwed
But you can't catch my love

I ebb and you flow
It's uh, a bit screwed
But you can't catch my nerve
These stars are descending
These scars are discerning

I ebb and you flow




It's uh, a bit screwed
But you can't catch my nerve

Overall Meaning

The Duke Spirit's collaboration with UNKLE, Mayday, features lyrics that are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. The first two lines suggest a sense of imbalance or disconnect between two people - "I ebb and you flow, it's uh, a bit screwed." The singer seems to be acknowledging that their dynamic is flawed, but the phrase "it's uh, a bit screwed" suggests a certain resignation or acceptance of the situation.


The refrain of "but you can't catch my love/nerve" could be read a few different ways. It could be interpreted as a challenge or a statement of confidence that the singer's feelings or intentions will remain elusive to the other person. Alternatively, it could be seen as a lament that the connection they seek will never fully materialize.


The final two lines introduce a more ominous tone, with "descending stars" and "discerning scars." These images could suggest a sense of impending doom or the consequences of past actions finally coming to light. Overall, the lyrics of Mayday leave a lot of room for interpretation and could be read as a reflection on the complexities of relationships and the difficulty of finding true connection with another person.


Line by Line Meaning

I ebb and you flow
Our actions and behaviors are constantly changing and shifting, sometimes out of sync with each other


It's uh, a bit screwed
The situation we are in is not ideal or perfect


But you can't catch my love
Despite the imperfections and differences, my affection and emotions for you cannot be contained or controlled


These stars are descending
The future looks uncertain, with possible challenges and difficulties ahead


These scars are discerning
Past experiences have left marks that shape who we are and how we approach situations
