about

On their new explosive female-led single, “The Flood” the soaring melodies and lyrics were inspired by a French proverb "Après nous, le déluge" which translated means, “After us, the flood.” This story is important because it signifies that after those in power leave, there is no concern for the rest left behind. When people choose to leave others high and dry, they believe that the ones they abandon will never recover. In Major Moment’s case, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Andrey and Sasha (Vocals / Songwriting / Synths) went back into the studio days after losing 4 band members in one day and made the decision to push forward stronger than ever. They realized that the new music they were creating was just the catalyst they needed.

At first, the lyrics were about the band’s issues but as the concept developed, Major Moment saw a bigger scope for the track. Right now, the world’s people have been left high and dry as the powers that be have no concern for the people they govern. In this light, all people of the world are perceived as the flood. This realization was the band’s “a-ha” moment and became the focus of the track. In a time when so many people are only concerned for themselves, Major Moment’s “The Flood” is here to remind us that we are all connected. We are here to support each other, lift each other up, and despite our differences, we all bleed just the same.

lyrics

We've seen better days
Say we bleed the same, the lies repeating
What a life to waste
In the dissonance of people screaming
Revealing we're living in despair

Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending
Why are we so condescending?
After us the flood
And in the world so cold and so demanding
There can be no happy ending
After us the flood

Did we miss the sign?
How could we ignore all premonitions?
Faulty by design
It's implied we're faultless but our ambitions
Are vicious, we’re going to lose it all

Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending
Why are we so condescending?
After us the flood
And in the world so cold and so demanding
There can be no happy ending
After us the flood

It’s in my head
It’s something I can’t stand
Tell me how dare we
Treat everyone with disrespect

Why do we assume without a doubt
We’re the ones this planet spins around
It goes without saying
The levees are breaking
Forever we’ll bear what cannot be undone

Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending
Why are we so condescending?
After us the flood
And in the world so cold and so demanding
There can be no happy ending
After us the flood
