May
The Shalalalas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but I still don't know if my eyes are green or blue
Now I'm sure that I want you to stay
but I still don't know if my eyes are green or grey
May is the time when the flowers bloom
and strawberries are so good
May is the time when there's so much light
everything seems to be right
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Can you see tonight there is something new
but I still don't know if my eyes are green or blue
Can you hear there is something in the air
but i still don't know if my eyes are green or grey
May is the time when all the clouds are gone
and every colour lights up
May is the time when we no longer fight
and everything will be fine
so we sing
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh, oh oh oh
The Shalalalas's song May is a bittersweet love song that encapsulates the uncertainty and the beauty of a relationship. The singer expresses that while they are sure that they want their lover to stay with them, they are still unsure about something as simple as the color of their eyes - a metaphor for the complexities of the relationship. May, the month of blooming flowers and fresh strawberries, brings about a refreshing air of hope and optimism, where everything seems to fall into place. The chorus, "Oh oh oh," serves as a celebratory moment where the singer and their lover sing and enjoy the moment just as the beauty of May should be embraced.
The lyrics are open-ended, leaving the audience to interpret for themselves the significance of the singer's uncertainty about their eye color. The lyrics might refer to the singer's personal challenges with self-confidence and self-love. The latter part of the song chronicles the essence of May with clear skies and vibrant colours, which could signify the end of a turbulent period in the relationship or in the singer's life.
