I'm sleeping in and hoping I don't wake
But I do at 4 PM
It's time to face the day in pain
I'm waiting for the end, I'm suffering
Living and breathing is draining my spirit
I must be gone i dream of suicide but only
To see what's beyond
Physical matter, and everything like
Hate, and greed, and feeding ego
You burned that bridge down
Now, I don't believe in shit now
I'd rather be desolate

"Beware the Sirens" is a song about a shift in trust and relationships. The lyrics express a sense of betrayal and disillusionment with past experiences. The artist acknowledges that they used to trust people, particularly women, and engage in various social circles or groups, but they have now become wary and guarded. The repetition of the phrase "Now, I don't trust no bitch" highlights this change in mindset and a sense of isolation.
The song also delves into the artist's internal struggles and their longing for an escape from their current emotional state. They describe themselves as a "lonely kid" who constantly feels alone and tends to sabotage their own endeavors. The mention of sleeping in and hoping not to wake, along with contemplating suicide to explore what lies beyond, reveals their deep emotional pain and desire for release. They feel drained by the negative aspects of life, such as hate, greed, and ego, and have lost faith in many things.

(I'd give anything to get away from you)
I would sacrifice everything to escape your presence
(I would give anything to get away from you)
I would surrender anything to distance myself from you
