[Intro]
Mayday, mayday, mayday, Pakistan, six-six-one
[Verse 1: Masato Hayakawa]
Take what you got and leave now
You're wearing out your welcome
No one here wants to see you, hear you
Think that you've won from day one
You know just why he wants you, don't you?
[Pre-Chorus: Masato Hayakawa]
Your crooked desire left us in disarray
Misguided, divided, at the point of no return
You started a fire, you're gonna watch it burn
Try to save yourself like you always do
[Chorus: Masato Hayakawa]
You think it's yours to burn it down, just burn it down
When everything is gone
You'll wish you only heard us out, heard us out
Screaming mayday
Mayday
[Verse 2: Masato Hayakawa]
Act like you've only done good
Unfairly misunderstood
Play the victim, it's so you, what's new?
Lie after lie after lie
We all stopped counting the crimes
You know why we can't trust you, don't you?
[Pre-Chorus: Masato Hayakawa]
Your crooked desire left us in disarray
Misguided, divided, at the point of no return
You started a fire, you're gonna watch it burn
Try to save yourself like you always do
[Chorus: Masato Hayakawa]
Every bridge we build
You think it's yours to burn it down, just burn it down
When everything is gone
You'll wish you only heard us out, heard us out
[Bridge: Ryo Kinoshita]
Why don't you choke on yourself
Swallow the hate or just fucking go
You set yourself, the world on fire
Rising higher and higher
But there's nowhere to run
'Cause all of the bridges burned
All you are is a fucking monster
A walking disaster
You touch it, you break it, you kill it
Just like a cureless cancer
[Chorus: Masato Hayakawa & Ryo Kinoshita ]
Every bridge we build
You think it's yours to burn it down
When everything is gone
You'll wish you only heard us out, heard us out
Every bridge we build
You think it's yours to burn it down, just burn it down
When everything is gone
You'll wish you only heard us out, heard us out
[Outro: Masato Hayakawa & Ryo Kinoshita ]
Screaming mayday
Mayday
Mayday
Mayday
The devil is known to collect souls who commit bad deeds, so the speaker tells the target that they know all the bad things they’ve done to warrant the devil coming for them.
Burning a bridge involves an individual destroying a path or connection. In the context of this song, it involves a relationship that one intentionally burns to have no connection to that person anymore.
The track opens with sampled audio from the ill-fated PIA Flight 661, which suffered an engine failure and crashed into a Havelian mountainside on December 7th, 2016. All onboard perished in the flight, including the crewman who sent this message.
The lyrics address an unseen target that has become a burden to the speaker. “Wearing out your welcome” is a common phrase for someone or something that is around too long, to the point of irritation.
