Mayday
jvstblake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not your fault or mine
Our lives just don't aline
And I don't waste your time
Cuz I just haven't been satisfied
I kept it bottle up
And hoped it'd fade off
Find that love
But I'm not getting enough
It's not your fault but I'm not satisfied




Mayday, Mayday

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics from jvstblake's song "Mayday," the singer reflects on a relationship that is not quite meeting their expectations. The opening lines, "It's not your fault or mine, Our lives just don't align," suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance that the relationship is not working out as hoped. The acknowledgment of the mismatch in their lives hints at a mutual understanding between the singer and their partner that things are not working out.


The next line, "And I don't waste your time, Cuz I just haven't been satisfied," delves deeper into the singer's feelings of dissatisfaction within the relationship. They express a reluctance to waste their partner's time while also acknowledging that they have not been feeling fulfilled or content with the situation. This sense of unmet expectations and unspoken desires is further emphasized in the following lines, "I kept it bottle up, And hoped it'd fade off, Find that love, But I'm not getting enough."


The singer's emotional turmoil is palpable as they confess to bottling up their feelings in the hopes that they would magically disappear, or that they would find the love they seek within the confines of the relationship. However, the realization that they are not receiving enough love or satisfaction leads to a sense of disillusionment and yearning for something more fulfilling. The repetition of the refrain "It's not your fault but I'm not satisfied" underscores the complexity of the singer's emotions and their struggle to reconcile their feelings with the reality of the relationship.


The poignant cry of "Mayday, Mayday" serves as a desperate plea for help or a call for rescue in the face of emotional distress. It encapsulates the sense of urgency and vulnerability that the singer is experiencing as they navigate the turbulent waters of their relationship. Through these introspective and soul-searching lyrics, "Mayday" captures the raw and candid emotions of a person coming to terms with the shortcomings of a relationship and grappling with the internal conflict between longing for love and facing the reality of dissatisfaction.


Line by Line Meaning

It's not your fault or mine
The lack of alignment in our lives is nobody's fault


Our lives just don't aline
Our lives do not sync up or coincide


And I don't waste your time
I do not want to waste your time or lead you on


Cuz I just haven't been satisfied
I have not been content or fulfilled


I kept it bottle up
I kept my feelings bottled up and suppressed


And hoped it'd fade off
I hoped my dissatisfaction would diminish over time


Find that love
Search for that true, fulfilling love


But I'm not getting enough
However, I am not receiving the fulfillment I seek


It's not your fault but I'm not satisfied
It is not your fault, but I still feel unsatisfied


Mayday, Mayday
An urgent call for help or distress signal indicating the need for assistance
