Cats and Criminals 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 Cats and Criminals's song "Sirens" address the theme of feeling trapped and lured by the irresistible allure of the metaphorical sirens, who represent temptations in life. The song talks about the frustration of not being able to control one's circumstances, waking up every day to the same routines and facing the same temptations. The phrase "the same face every day" signifies monotony, and the sirens' call represents the temptation to stray from the path of life's conventionality.


The first verse speaks of the singer's wish to see things more clearly and to live life differently. They express their desire to be carried away by the "floating boat" (a metaphor for a better and different life) without any greedy sirens (temptations) around them. The second verse repeats the same sentiments, but the lyrics appear to be more vivid, signifying the power of dreams and the desire for a different reality. The chorus acts as a respite from the monotony, bringing in a hint of hope, and the bridge speaks of the inevitability of life's crises, even when we are sorry for our mistakes.


Overall, the song's lyrics are open to interpretation, but they convey a common sentiment of feeling trapped and in search of a different life with new experiences and fewer temptations.
