Sirens Call
Cats on Trees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whatever way, the same
Nothing according to plan
If I could just see clear, into you
The same face every day
The sirens calling away
This mean so much more

The floating boat is carrying me
And I can live my story differently
The greedy sirens are chewing all around me
While I sing oh whoa, oh whoa oh whoa
On the falling shoals, I wonder why me?
On my way to the falls, I hope you see
We are heading to the wall even if you are sorry
While I sing oh whoa
Oh whoa oh whoa, oh whoa

In my sleep, nothing same
Nothing according to plan
If I could be someone, without you
The same smile everyday
The sirens calling away
This mean so much more

The floating boat is carrying me
And I can live my story differently
The greedy sirens are chewing all around me
While I sing oh whoa
Oh whoa oh whoa

And in my sleep, nothing same
Nothing according to plan
And if I could be
Someone, without you
The same smile everyday
The sirens calling away
This mean so much more
This mean so much more

The sirens calling

Floating boat is carrying me (the sirens calling)
I can live my story differently
While I sing oh

The floating boat is carrying me
And I can live my story differently
The greedy sirens are chewing all around me
While I sing oh whoa
Oh whoa oh whoa

On the falling shoals, I wonder why me?
On my way to the falls, I hope you see
We are heading to the wall even if you are sorry
While I sing oh whoa
Oh whoa oh whoa

The floating boat is carrying me
And I can live my story differently
The sirens calling
If I could be someone

The falling shoals, I wonder why me?
On my way to the falls, I hope you see
We are heading to the wall even if you are sorry
While I sing oh whoa
Oh whoa oh whoa
Oh whoa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sirens Call" by Cats on Trees are about being in a relationship that has lost its meaning and feeling trapped by it. The first verse talks about the monotony of everyday life with the same face and the same smile every day, and how nothing seems to go according to plan. The mention of sirens calling away represents the pull of temptation and the desire to break free from the routine.


The second verse suggests the possibility of change and living one's story differently. The floating boat symbolizes the freedom to explore new possibilities and escape the grasp of the sirens, which represent the enticement of a stagnant relationship. The chorus repeats the imagery of the floating boat carrying the singer away and the sirens calling from afar, emphasizing the struggle between staying in a comfortable yet unfulfilling situation and the fear of the unknown in pursuit of something more meaningful.


The lines "On the falling shoals, I wonder why me? / On my way to the falls, I hope you see / We are heading to the wall, even if you are sorry" add a sense of urgency to the theme of the song. The singer questions why they are trapped in this situation and hopes that their partner will see the need for change before it's too late. Despite the potential for regret, the singer is determined to break free from the sirens' call and live their story differently.
