Siren Song
Devics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a hot summer wind that the night had blown in
A vision a siren in black,
With green velvet eyes and a porcelain smile
The fireflies danced in her hair
She said "please can you help me,
I'm lost and i've nowhere to go,
Please can you be the kindest soul?"
Well i couldn't resist her undauntable charm
As she brushed passed me through the door,
There was something inside burned i just couldn't hide,
I'd never seen beauty before
"please can i stay, for my body is weak to the bone,
And can you tell me are we alone?"

Heaven is only one kiss away
And i can take you as long as we stay

Well, the first lie i told was my wife
Had been gone one year ago to this day
And i still hear her cries in the trembling night
And the nightmares just won't go away
"please come close and look deep in my eyes"
And i watched them turn black as night

Heaven is only one kiss away,
And i can take you as long as we stay
Heaven is only one kiss away
Hells here on earth boy so drink for today

Well i watched her lay sprawling, beckoning and calling,
Burning holes right through the floor
And the wind started howling
And my hands started shaking
And the smell of death rose through the air
"this is the last thing that i'll ask of you,
Embrace me tonight and let us take flight"
Her siren song seeped slowly into my head
As i drew her close to my lips
And as they gently touched i felt a terrible rush
As the life was crushed right from my heart
With my last breath i watched
The black angel of death spread her wings in bliss
For she had stolen my soul through a kiss

Heaven is only one kiss away
And i can take take you as long as we stay




Heaven is only one kiss away
Hell's here on earth boy so drink for today

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Devics’ song Siren Song tell the story of a man who meets a mysterious woman with a porcelain smile and green velvet eyes, who beckons him with her undauntable charm through the door. She claims to be lost and in need of help, and he cannot resist her beauty. As they spend time together, he tells her that his wife has been gone for a year, and that he still hears her cries in the trembling night. The woman begins to seep into his head with her siren song, until, with one fatal kiss, she steals his soul and leaves him to die.


The song tells a cautionary tale about the power of temptation and the danger of giving into it. The siren in the story represents temptation, and the man represents those who are lured by it. The lyrics suggest that giving into temptation can lead to the ultimate destruction of one's self, as illustrated by the man’s loss of his soul. The imagery of death and darkness in the lyrics reinforces this theme.
