Sirens
Jerusha Rai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
lullaby for madmen
can't separate
the song from silence
when the sacred
breath is dancing
and its time
my blood as ink
a dark place to think
and echoes of sirens
blood runs thick
mud and sticks
you come out of hiding
when the sea
cradles me
i won't float
corals on my body
and the moon in my throat
In the song "Sirens," Jerusha Rai presents a lullaby for the madmen. The lyrics delve into two major themes, time and the conflict between sound and silence. The singer notes that sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between a song and silence. It is in the moments of sacred breaths that the singer finds that perfect blend of the song and silence. The song speaks of a dark place in the mind, where the blood turns into ink and echoes of sirens continuously haunt the individual. However, the end of the song signifies cherishing freedom as one comes out of hiding.
In the next verse, Jerusha mentions the sea that cradles her, and while floating, she won't sink. Rather, the lyrics describe corals on her body and the moon in her throat, a poetic way of signifying the struggle she faced and how she overcame it. The song emphasizes the importance of time and the moments when one experiences freedom, away from the chaos and distress. Thus, the song serves as a comforting tune for those who have gone through tough situations, giving them hope that their struggle will end someday.
