Mayday! Mayday!
The Weakend Lyrics

A day in May*
The specific date is not important and could be any day in May.

Cut the cord and leave the lights out.
End the relationship and cut all communication, leaving no hope for reconciliation.

We'll pull our guns out, take our paces while tripping on laces
We'll both try to hurt each other in this conflict, but we're both vulnerable and unstable.

And your heart races as sweat beads down our faces and burns our eyes.
We are both nervous and scared about what's going to happen, but we're also angry and emotional.

You know I never wanted this, it will be our test.
I didn't plan to end up in this situation, but now we have to face the consequences of our actions.

We'll finally put this to rest.
We'll resolve this conflict once and for all, even if it means hurting each other.

I want you dead as much as I want you alive,
I have conflicting emotions towards you and am unsure of what I truly want.

So I can sing you to sleep tonight.
I want to be the one who puts you to rest, whether it's through love or violence.

Our sweet romances, like barbed wire fences,
Our past relationships were painful and dangerous, much like crossing a barbed wire fence.

Break my hands and rip my pants.
Our violent interactions are hurting both of us physically and emotionally.

And I love how that sweater matches your eyes,
I still find you attractive and have feelings for you, even though we're fighting.

But your smile doesn't go with your insides.
Your outward appearance and actions are hiding your true emotions and intentions.

When I lie you on your back,
I will have control and dominance over you in this situation.

Steel between your shoulder blades, and we'll wait for a trainwreck.
I will have a weapon pointed at you, and we'll see who will break first in this confrontation.

This could be our claim to fame and everyone will know us by the stains we made.
Our violent and destructive actions could define our legacy and how we are remembered.

So hold on just long enough to let go... just before the ground begins to shake.
We'll stay in this conflict until the very end, but we'll try to end it before things get too out of control.

Oh my God, I think I'm losing it.
I am struggling to control my emotions and actions in this intense situation.

Someone call a nurse before this goes too far.
I recognize that things are getting out of control and that we need outside help to stop the conflict.

We'll be together soon and if I'm going straight to hell for this I'm taking you with me.
Even if our actions will have negative consequences for us in the afterlife, we'll still stick together through it all.

All these sirens just sound so familiar.
I have been in situations like this before, where the police are called and my actions have hurt others.

Adieu. Adieu,
We are parting ways in a final goodbye.

I do thank you but this is something we'll have to work for.
I appreciate our past experiences together, but we need to put in work to resolve our conflict and move on.

Third time's a charm and you know how I like it.
We have been in similar conflicts before, and this is our third attempt to resolve things.

Keep screams to a whimper, you know I'm committed.
I am willing to hurt you to achieve my goals, and you should try to avoid escalating the situation.

Fasten your seatbelts, I'm heading straight for the wall.
I am willing to take risks and face the consequences of my actions, even if it means self-destruction.

This is a test, prepare for the lecture.
This conflict is a test of our abilities and willingness to resolve problems.

This is the last time we'll dismiss as mere conjecture.
We can't keep brushing our problems aside and ignoring them. We need to face them head-on.

Take what you can get because I'm not letting myself get involved again.
We need to make the most of the current situation, as I don't want to go through this kind of conflict again.

We'll bring our knives to the party and we'll cut a rug,
We'll come to this fight prepared and ready for anything, even if it means violence.

Stab and dance and fall madly in love.
Our violent interactions are a twisted form of affection and passion.

April showers bring May flowers but I guess it's safe to say
A time of rain and sadness could lead to hope and renewal, but not in our case.

That all the rain in the world can't save you from me.
No amount of hope or renewal can fix our relationship and the problems we have created.

But what if proving you wrong was killing me too?
I am so invested in this conflict and proving my point that it is also hurting me and my well-being.
