Battery Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wait for you
I always do
Can feel you here
In front of me
I know your fear
Like when you were
Afraid to be seen
I hope you won't
Confuse the way
I dreamed it to you
Every day
I know you know
That you were never
Dead in my eyes

I'm looking for you




I'm waiting for you
Listening for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sirens" by Battery express the singer's longing for someone who seems to have disappeared or distanced themselves. The opening line, "I wait for you, I always do," sets the tone of the song as one of anticipation, as the singer expects this person to return to them. The second line, "Can feel you here, in front of me," suggests that despite this person's absence, there is still a sense of their presence. The following lines, "I know your fear, like when you were afraid to be seen," indicate that the person in question may be avoiding the singer for some reason, perhaps out of a sense of shame or insecurity.


The second verse builds on this theme, with the singer expressing a hope that this person will not misunderstand their intentions. The line "I dreamed it to you, every day" suggests that the singer has been envisioning a future with this person, and may have even spoken to them about it previously. The following line, "I know you know that you were never dead in my eyes," reinforces the idea that the singer sees this person as important, even if they feel distant or disconnected.
