Lyrics
Mayday, mayday do you read me?
Expressing distress and seeking communication.
I think I'm about to fall
Feeling on the verge of a downfall or failure.
The bottom is rising faster
Suggesting a worsening situation, hitting rock bottom.
Do you heed my call?
Asking for attention and assistance.
'cause I've been up here so damn long
Describing a prolonged struggle or hardship.
in this mean old plain
Characterizing the environment as harsh and unfriendly.
and there's fever in my cabin, Lord
Indicating physical or emotional turmoil.
and I'm hangin' from the mane......
Symbolizing a precarious situation, desperately holding on.
Let me down slowly when you're lettin' me down
Requesting a gentle descent when facing disappointment.
I promise to be holy when you're letting me down
Committing to maintain virtue during letdown.
Oh! come on let me down
Pleading for release from a challenging circumstance.
Mayday, mayday do you read me?
Repeating distress call, emphasizing urgency.
the breaks are all ceased up
Highlighting a state of immobilization or stagnation.
I can hardly move,
Expressing difficulty in movement.
my bones are all ceased up
Emphasizing physical discomfort or limitations.
'cause I've been up here so damn long
Reiterating a sense of being stranded for an extended period.
I can't remember why I came
Expressing forgetfulness or loss of purpose.
And there's fever in my cabin bunk
Portraying a feverish state within a confined space.
And there's only me to blame, that's right
Accepting responsibility for the predicament.
Let me down slowly when you're lettin' me down
Requesting a gradual descent during disappointment.
I promise to be holy when you're letting me down
Promising to maintain a sense of holiness during letdown.
Oh! come on let me down
Repeating the plea for release from a challenging circumstance.
Mayday, mayday do you read me?
Restating distress call, underlining urgency.
the breaks are all ceased up
Reiterating a state of immobilization or stagnation.
I can hardly move,
Reiterating difficulty in movement.
my bones are all ceased up
Reemphasizing physical discomfort or limitations.
'cause I've been up here so damn long
Echoing a sense of being stranded for an extended period.
I can't remember why I came
Reiterating forgetfulness or loss of purpose.
And there's fever in my cabin bunk
Reiterating a feverish state within a confined space.
And there's only me to blame, that's right
Acknowledging sole responsibility for the predicament.
Let me down slowly when you're lettin' me down
Requesting a gradual descent during disappointment.
I'll be you're one and lonely when you're lettin' me down
Anticipating loneliness during letdown.
Oh! come on let me down
Repeating the plea for release from a challenging circumstance.
Down, dooown, dooowwwn, down
Expressing a descent or breakdown.
Mayday, mayday do you read me?
Reiterating distress call, signaling potential collapse.
I think I'm cracking up
Conveying a sense of mental or emotional unraveling.
