Sirens
Kabel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He follows me everywhere I go
He tells me things I don’t want to know
Persephone tells me not to weep
But he’s watching me even when I sleep
Hold me baby, I don’t want to go back
You think I’m fucking crazy yeah I know that
Can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t forget
Fuck this system, I’mma kill him
How you like that?
I was quiet, you were silent
B-b-baby I need a little guidance
You think you know shit?
I think you’re lying
You wanna fight bitch?
Then why you hiding?
I was quiet, you were silent
You see the world outside?
It’s violent
Leave the body, keep it private
Eyes wide and run from the sirens
He follows me everywhere I go
He shows me things they would never show
God keeps whispering in my ear
But that’s just some shit I don’t want to hear
Slow moving, heavy breathing
Keep crawling, keep creeping
I’m smiling, you’re bleeding
Eye for an eye, we’re even
I was quiet, you were silent
B-b-baby I need a little guidance
You think you know shit?
I think you’re lying
You wanna fight bitch?
Then why you hiding?
I was quiet, you were silent
You see the world outside?
It’s violent
Leave the body, keep it private
Eyes wide and run from the sirens
But you take from me
And I hate to be the one laying down for your fantasy
There’s no honesty, you want all of me
And I’m wearing thin so get off of me
I was quiet, you were silent
B-b-baby I need a little guidance
You think you know shit?
I think you’re lying
You wanna fight bitch?
Then why you hiding?
I was quiet, you were silent
You see the world outside?
It’s violent




Leave the body, keep it private
Eyes wide and run from the sirens
