MAYDAY Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear my voice?
Coming through, coming through, coming through the noise

I'm floating through outer space
I'm lost and I can't find a way
Oh, all the lights going dark and my hope's destroyed

[Pre-Chorus]
Help me, is anybody there?
(Is anybody there? Is anybody there?)
Save me, I'm running out of air, ooh


[Chorus]
Calling out mayday
Calling out mayday


[Verse 2]
It's so dark, it's so dark out here in space
And it's been so long, been so long since I've seen a face
My eyes are shut but I can see
The void between you and me, mm
And I feel, and I feel like I'm going insane


[Pre-Chorus]
Help me, is anybody there?
(Is anybody there? Is anybody there?)
Save me, I'm running out of air, ooh
[Chorus]
Calling out mayday
Calling out mayday


[Bridge]
Far from the Sun
Beyond stars I hear their song
They're coming closer
Talking without sound
Calling me home

[Chorus]
Calling out mayday
Calling out mayday


[Outro]
Save me, I'm running out of air
I'm running out of air
I'm running out of air
I'm running out of air
I'm running out of air
I'm running out of air

Genius Annotation

In this song Laura Brehm talks about being in deep space, trying to find a way home. Some think that this form of the word “Mayday” means help me (presumably after an accident with her spaceship [This meaning is derived from the french word “m'aidez”]) while others think it means she found home. Some others think that she is disconnected from important people, and she needs help getting back to being herself again. This song was teased by four “transmissions” from TheFatRat and Laura Brehm. Some believe this song is a continuation of TheFatRat and Laura Brehm’s “The Calling,” which talks about something calling her to be something greater (which is also heard in TheFatRat and Anjulie’s “Fly Away”) than what others call her to be.
