Mermaid
Cherrys Lyrics

She was drowned in suicide
The mermaid in question ended her life by drowning herself in the sea

Faithless lover cast aside
The mermaid had been betrayed and abandoned by her lover which led to her unfortunate fate

This is how she came to be
The aforementioned events are what led to the mermaid's existence

Lorelei of the sea
The mermaid is referred to as Lorelei, a mythical siren of the sea

Hopes destroyed, she wanted to find
The mermaid's dreams and aspirations were shattered and she sought a way to end her pain

Certain death peace of mind
The mermaid found solace in the idea of dying after feeling hopeless

Now you wonder who is she, Lorelei of the sea
The narrative has introduced and revealed the identity of the mermaid, called Lorelei

Many tales I´ve been told of sailors having died
There are many stories of sailors who have met their demise after encountering the mermaid known as Lorelei

After seeing a mermaid known
Sailors have perished after catching sight of the fabled mermaid

Known as Lorelei
The mermaid commonly referenced in these stories is the one called Lorelei

Faithless lover that is me
The singer admits to being the untrustworthy lover who caused Lorelei's pain

And she siren of the sea
The mermaid is described again as a siren of the sea, a creature known for their enchanting singing that lures sailors to their doom

So next time that the seagulls fly
The singer warns against disregarding the tragic tale of Lorelei the next time one sees seagulls take flight

Don´t you cry sweet Lorelei
The singer implores the audience not to cry for Lorelei, instead wishing her peace

There she is I hear her cry
The singer has heard the call of the mermaid and is compelled to search for her

She´s asking me if I will die
The mermaid is communicating with the artist, asking if they are willing to risk their life to find her

There ain´t nothing I won´t do
The artist reveals their unwavering dedication to Lorelei and declares that they will do anything to find her

For you Lorelei
The singer addresses the mermaid directly, reaffirming their commitment to her

Seagulls fly
The song ends with a repetition of the earlier refrain, using it as a somber reminder of the tragic story that has been told

When mermaids cry
The tears of a mermaid are a sorrowful thing

Those tears won´t dry
The pain and loss associated with Lorelei's story will not fade with time

For Lorelei
The last line of the song repeats the mermaid's name once more, reminding the listener of the sorrowful fate she met
