Gabe Dixon Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's why I run as fast as I can
Back to your big, brown, bedroom eyes
Yes it is true
I'll use no diguise
Siren, Siren, Siren
Well I want no home when you are around me
Back to your bad, blue, backseat eyes
Yes it is true
I'll use no diguise
Siren, Siren, Siren
Well it's in and it's out
And it's up and it's down
Well I feel so free when you are around me
That's why I tumble as fast as I can
Back to your great, green, grassland eyes
Yes it is true
I'll use no diguise
Siren, Siren, Siren
Well it's in and it's out
And it's up and it's down
Well it's in and it's out
And it's up and it's down
The Gabe Dixon Band's "Sirens" tells the story of a person who is deeply infatuated with someone. The person feels no pain when the other person is around and is compelled to be with them as quickly as possible. The lyrics about "big, brown, bedroom eyes" and "bad, blue, backseat eyes" and "great, green, grassland eyes" suggest that this attraction is purely physical and the person is drawn to their physical features. The repeated refrain of "Siren, Siren, Siren" emphasizes the irresistible pull the other person has on the singer and shows that they are overwhelmed by their desire for this person.
The verses of the song are short and fragmented, with the repeated sentence "Well it's in and it's out / And it's up and it's down" suggesting the chaos and confusion that comes with being deeply in love. The singer feels free and happy when the other person is around but is also caught up in the turmoil of their powerful emotions. The use of the phrase "I'll use no disguise" indicates that the person is being completely honest about their feelings and is not afraid to express their attraction to the other person.
Overall, "Sirens" is a song about the intense physical and emotional attraction between two people. The lyrics focus on the heady rush of desire and the way that the other person can make the singer feel alive.
