Searching for something that I won't find
I've been hanging with the wrong crowd
Holding on to something that's not mine
I hear sirens calling me back to where I am supposed to be, yeah
I hear sirens calling me back to where I am supposed to be
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh (supposed to be)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh (supposed to be)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I've been walking on the wrong ground
Searching for something that I won't find

Holding on to something that's not mine
I hear sirens calling me back to where I am supposed to be, yeah
I hear sirens calling me back to where I am supposed to be

The lyrics of Icarus's song "Sirens" seem to be about a person who realizes that they have been living their life in the wrong way, searching for something that they won't find and hanging out with the wrong crowd. They seem to be feeling lost and disconnected from themselves, as if they have strayed from their intended path. However, they hear sirens calling them back to where they are supposed to be, which could mean they have an internal sense of where they belong, or maybe it's a literal interpretation of emergency sirens leading them back home.
The use of the word "supposed" is interesting because it indicates a certain level of expectation or destiny, as if the person knows deep down that they have a particular purpose in life and that they have been neglecting it. The repetition of the lyrics and the mournful tone of the music drives home the feeling of despair and the longing to find one's way back on track. It's a poignant reminder to stay true to oneself and to follow one's instincts, even if that means breaking away from a comfortable or familiar path.

Man, this song was with me in a lot of emotional moments. Helped me create one of the most worthy memories ever. I listen to it at least once a day since the first lockdown. Thank you Icarus, wish you all the best.

Same, I was in a psychiatric hospital after coming close to killing myself when I first heard it. I listened to it everyday in there. 2 years later and things are going well, I've improved in many ways, and I still love this song. Hope you're keeping well bro, peace.
