Black Maria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Choke on me,
Confused you isolate all your intensions,
There's no vaccination...
Gardens that burn from fires,
Evacuate the Angels,
Who stand on funeral pyres,
Nothing has been consistent,
Not your life or your vision,
When two hearts burn as one,
Who is the victim?
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours,
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
These bars are getting to me,
This gray box so isolating,
I've paced in it everyday,
For too long it's been my sentance...
You're my siren
Entice my heart 'til it's yours,
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
This is yours,
This is yours,
This is yours,
This is my heart
In the song "Sirens" by Black Maria, the lyrics convey themes of isolation, confusion, and the desire to be enticed. The first verse describes suffocation and being choked, suggesting a feeling of being overwhelmed or trapped. The line "confused you isolate all your intentions" speaks to the confusion one may feel while trying to decide how to act or proceed. The mention of a vaccine implies that there is no cure or solution to this feeling of being trapped.
The next verse paints a vivid picture of burning gardens and Angels on funeral pyres trying to escape temptation. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for giving in to desires, which leads to destruction and suffering. The line "nothing has been consistent, not your life or your vision" further emphasizes the confusion and instability one may be experiencing. The question of who is the victim when two hearts burn as one suggests that being in a relationship can sometimes feel like a battle, with both parties suffering in some way.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is being enticed by someone who is like a siren. The repetition of the phrase "entice my heart 'til it's yours" implies a desire to be taken over by this person. The final verse describes the feeling of being trapped in a physical space (bars, gray box) and again emphasizes the isolation and confinement mentioned earlier in the song. The repetition of "this is yours" reinforces the idea that the singer belongs to the person who is enticing them.
Overall, the lyrics to "Sirens" are haunting and emotional, conveying a sense of confusion and isolation.
Line by Line Meaning
Smothered you suffocate,
You feel suffocated and overwhelmed
Choke on me,
I am causing you distress and discomfort
Confused you isolate all your intensions,
You are unsure of your goals and feel alone in your struggles
There's no vaccination...
There is no cure or solution to the pain you are feeling
Gardens that burn from fires,
Things that were once beautiful are now destroyed
Evacuate the Angels,
Get rid of anything that may tempt you and lead you astray
Who stand on funeral pyres,
People who have died trying to achieve their goals
To escape temptation,
To avoid being led astray by temptation
Nothing has been consistent,
Things have been constantly changing and unpredictable
Not your life or your vision,
Your life and plans have been unclear
When two hearts burn as one,
When two people are deeply in love
Who is the victim?
It is difficult to tell who is being hurt more in the relationship
You're my siren,
You are my temptation that I cannot resist
Entice my heart 'til it's yours,
Win me over and make me yours completely
These bars are getting to me,
I feel trapped and confined in this space
This gray box so isolating,
This dull and lonely space that I am in
I've paced in it everyday,
I have been stuck here for a long time and am feeling restless
For too long it's been my sentence...
I have been trapped here for far too long
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
I am willing to give you complete access and control over my thoughts and feelings
This is yours,
I am giving myself completely to you
This is my heart
I am entrusting you with my deepest emotions and feelings
