Mayday
UNKLE ft The Duke Spirit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 scars are discerning
I ebb and you flow
It's uh, a bit screwed
But you can't catch my nerve
The first verse of the song Mayday by UNKLE ft The Duke Spirit talks about a relationship dynamic where one person is ebbing, and the other is flowing. Ebbing means receding or moving away, while flowing means moving steadily forward. The singer is expressing that this dynamic is a bit screwed up or not quite right. But despite this, the other person cannot catch their love or their nerve. This could mean that the other person is unable to reciprocate the singer's feelings or that they cannot understand the intensity of the singer's emotions.
The second verse mentions descending stars and discerning scars. Descending stars could represent a loss of hope or the end of something that was once bright or shining. The scars may represent a painful past experience or emotional hurt. These two lines add to the overall feeling of disconnection and disillusionment expressed by the singer.
The repetition of the line "I ebb and you flow, it's uh, a bit screwed, but you can't catch my nerve" emphasizes the singer's feelings of being out of sync with the other person. They are not on the same wavelength, and despite this being an issue, the singer feels that the other person cannot catch their nerve, meaning they cannot understand or empathize with the singer's nervousness or anxiety.
Overall, the lyrics of Mayday capture a feeling of unease and uncertainty in a relationship. The singer seems to be struggling to connect with the other person and feeling like their emotions are not fully understood or reciprocated.
