Mayday
Unraveling the Beautiful Deceit: The Blues and Greys' "Mayday" Meaning
Lyrics
Hey, tell me all that you know
Expressing a desire for comprehensive information.
Say you want the same things
Desiring similar things as the other person.
And it may be the breakdown is slow
Suggesting a gradual breakdown, possibly in a relationship.
You don't really care though
Indicating a lack of concern despite the breakdown.
I know, I know, I know you've got it
Acknowledging awareness of the other person's situation.
Too slow, too, slow, too slow I fought it
Highlighting a struggle or resistance that is too slow to overcome.
It's never going to be the same
Emphasizing that things will never be the same.
Say you want it all
Expressing a desire for everything.
Say you want it easier
Expressing a desire for an easier situation.
But it's all a beautiful lie
Labeling the idea of having it all as a beautiful lie.
Say you want it all
Reiteration of the desire for everything.
Say you want it easier
Reiteration of the desire for an easier situation.
But it's all a beautiful lie
Reaffirmation that the concept of having it all is deceptive.
Hey, never is what you want
Stating that what is desired is never attainable.
I didn't try to change things
Not attempting to alter the current situation.
And it may be the last thing we thought
Suggesting that the unexpected may be the last thing considered.
So what if I care
Questioning the importance of caring.
I know, I know, I know you've got it
Reiteration of awareness regarding the other person's situation.
Too slow, too, slow, too slow I fought it
Repeating the struggle or resistance that is too slow to overcome.
It's never going to be the same
Reiterating that the situation will never return to its previous state.
Say you want it all
Repetition of the desire for everything.
Say you want it easier
Repetition of the desire for an easier situation.
But it's all a beautiful lie
Reaffirmation that the notion of having it all is deceptive.
Say you want it all
Recurrence of the desire for everything.
Say you want it easier
Recurrence of the desire for an easier situation.
But it's all a beautiful lie
Final affirmation that the concept of having it all is a beautiful lie.
