sirens
DA & The Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the sirens are hard to ignore
Once you open up to the song
You'll go down, down, down before long
I got a bad heart, got a mean streak
A good way of leaving you weak
Got time to kill
It just reminds you of
The water (the water)
We can't get above
The sirens will take you down low
Your heart once fast goes slow
Your throat burns from where there was song
All the words and the harmony gone
I got a bad heart, got a mean streak
A good way of leaving you weak
Got time to kill
But time don't equal love
It just reminds you of
The water (the water)
We can't get above
One last call
To carry you home
I won't let you fall
One more song
To follow you down
It goes on and on and on
I got a bad heart, got a mean streak
A good way of leaving you weak
Got time to kill
But time don't equal love
It just reminds you of
The water
We can't get above
The lyrics of "Sirens" by DA & The Jones's describe the struggle of resisting temptations despite being aware of their consequences. The singer talks about staying true to the course, but the sirens (representing the temptations) are hard to ignore. Once you give in to the song (temptation), you'll go down before long. It's like knowing that you should stay away from something, but it's so irresistible that you finally give in and are pulled down by them.
The chorus talks about having a bad heart and a mean streak, an ability to leave others weak, and time to kill, but time can't replace love, and it just reminds you of the unattainable. The water represents the deep-seated desire, which one cannot rise above, as it's so powerful that it consumes you. Even though you know that it's not good for you, you still long for it, and it reminds you of your unattainable desire.
The song talks about giving in to the temptations and the feeling of being consumed by them, but it doesn't leave you hopeless. The last verse of the song shows a ray of hope, where the singer pledges to be there for the other person, to carry them home, and follow them down. Despite the siren's call, there's still a glimmer of hope, and love can still prevail.

@SymposionLive
One of the ONLY songs I know that gives me goosebumps immediately! ❤
@ianswildoutthere
Absolute chills while listening to this. My favorite element of all time for indie folk music is the extremely low piano chords. This song is incredible.
@DandyUtama
