SONG DESCRIPTION:
In stark contrast to the album’s high‑octane anthems, “Mayday” strips everything down to voice and guitar, echoing the intimacy of Simon & Garfunkel. The track is a raw, vulnerable tribute to the passing of a loved one, written as a cathartic scream of pain, love, and memory. It’s not a power ballad. It’s a moment of truth.
​The accompanying video amplifies the song’s emotional weight, offering fans a rare glimpse into the personal experiences that shaped the album’s lyrical core.

LYRICS:

Shock waves fall
Makes my soul
Terrified, the lights are going out
Silence’ s deep
Can’t be healed
Vital force suddenly stopped
Hang up the phone
Find myself alone
Swept away in a torrent of tears

I cannot run, I can’t hide away
It can’t be real...
Frozen and broken, oh mayday
It hurts so deep... so hard to sleep

What am I gonna do now?
How can I get there now?
I’m so afraid, please God, give him back to me
What am I gonna do now?
How can I get there now?
Who will protect me, who will guide me

Mayday

As days go by
The suffering lasts
The sound of your voice is still inside
Thought I saw you
Wish I could tell you
all the little things of my life again

I cannot run, I can’t hide away
It can’t be real...
Frozen and broken, oh may day
It hurts so deep... you’re no longer here

What am I gonna do now?
How can I get there now?
It’s gonna be a long time, such a long time ‘til we meet again
What am I gonna do now?
How can I get there now?
So, this is how my childhood ends
Mayday...Mayday... Mayday

It’s gonna be a long time, such a long time ‘til we meet again...
