Sirens
Hours Eastly Lyrics

Once you hear the siren's song
The allure of temptation can be overwhelming and intoxicating.

It'll haunt you all night long
The consequences of giving in to temptation can have lasting effects.

Go that way you're bound to pay your toll
There are always consequences for actions, especially when they lead to temptation.

It's the devil in disguise
Temptation can often present itself in appealing and misleading ways.

And every time you tell your lies
Lying is a dangerous path that can lead to the loss of one's self.

It takes a few more pieces of your soul
Each lie told can chip away at one's character and morality over time.

I'm not a sinner
The singer believes they are not inherently bad or sinful.

As it goes, I'm no saint
The artist acknowledges that they are not perfect and have their own flaws.

I sleep through the winter
The artist is patient and waits for better times to come.

Lie in wait until the rain dries
The artist is patient and will wait for a situation to improve before taking action.

The fatal flaw
There is a flaw within human nature that can lead to negative consequences.

Within us all
All people are susceptible to this flaw.

We try to tame fire
We attempt to control dangerous and potentially harmful situations or desires.

Light me up and let me go
The singer is ready to take on the challenge of temptation and danger, despite the risks.

The way they tell it
The popular narrative or expectations may not always be accurate or helpful.

You'd forget it's never all bad
It's important to acknowledge the good in situations, even in the midst of bad circumstances.

Just don't expect for them to catch you
Don't rely on others to save you from your own mistakes or decisions.

When you fall back
In moments of weakness or failure, it's important to take responsibility for one's actions and move forward.

It's awful late
It may be too far gone to prevent the negative consequences of temptation.

You think you'll make it through the tall grass?
It can be difficult to navigate life's challenges and obstacles.

Set me up and let me go
Despite the risks and challenges, the artist is ready to face temptation head-on and accept the consequences.

Might be a dreamer
The artist acknowledges that they may have unrealistic hopes or aspirations.

As it goes, I'm not alone so
Others share in the singer's hopes and dreams.

I know recourse
There are options for achieving one's goals and desires.

Is never more
The solutions or options available may not be as complex or difficult as they seem.

Than just a stones throw
The solutions or options may be closer than they appear.

You want enlightenment
You desire understanding or knowledge.

Start lightenin' your own load
To gain enlightenment, one must let go of burdens and distractions that hold them back.

Pull the pin and let me go
The artist is ready to take on the challenge of enlightenment and gain greater understanding.

When dogs are sleepin'
In moments of peace or calm.

You'd do best to let ‘em lie now
It's best to let things be and not disrupt the peace.

Don't be compelled
Don't feel pressured or forced to do something.

To delve in wells
To investigate or get involved in an issue or problem that has already been dealt with or solved.

Already dried out
The issue or problem is not worth pursuing anymore.

You want direction
You desire guidance or understanding of where to go next.

Start by gettin' off of my cloud
To gain direction, one must stop relying on the opinions or expectations of others and focus on their own path.

Cut me loose and let me go
The singer wants to break free from the constraints of others and follow their own path.

It's all a prison
Life can feel restrictive and limiting at times.

As it goes, I'm on the outside
The singer feels disconnected from the world around them.

The crystal walls
The restrictions and limitations placed upon us can be fragile and translucent.

I long to leap
The artist desires to break free from their limitations and live freely.

They keep me bound tight
The limitations and restrictions placed upon us can feel suffocating and inescapable.

You bate your breath
You hold your breath in anticipation of something.

Or better yet
Alternatively

I'll take it outright
The artist boldly takes the opportunity and risks the consequences.

I paid my debt so let me go
The artist has suffered the consequences of their past actions and wants to move on from them, but is still subject to others' judgment and criticism.

Your footing's weak
You are not stable or confident in your position or decision.

You put your teeth
You are aggressive and forward in your actions or intentions.

Before your tongue now
You do not think before you speak or act.

They gave you rope enough
You have been given enough freedom or opportunity.

They'd hoped you'd never come down
Others expected you to never learn from your actions and take risks irresponsibly.

The hours east
Time moves forward and things change.

As shadows creep
The darkness and unknown elements of life are always present and creeping forward.

Across the sundial
Time passes, marking the progression of life.

Steal a kiss and let me go
Sometimes the best moments or opportunities come unexpectedly and require taking risks.

The sirens sing a song that'll put you to a true test
Temptation can be difficult to resist and challenges our character and morality.

Can't you see it's just the devil in a blue dress
The allure of temptation is a trap, and can lead to dire consequences if we give in to it.

Wolf comin' with her sheep clothes on
People can wear a façade that disguises their true intentions, motives, or character.

But she don't mean to keep those on
Eventually a person will reveal their true nature or motives, and it can be dangerous to ignore the warning signs.
