Sirens
Lloyd Cher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the wind is so icy, I am numb
I carry the weight of you heading back to start
With the thousand eyes on me, I stumble on
I am tired, I'm growing older
I'm getting weaker everyday, yeah
I carry the weight of you
Lay down here
Beside me in the shallow water
Beside me where the sun is shining on us still
Lay down here
Beside me in the hallowed water
Beside me where the silver lining stays until
The sirens' calling
We follow the sun down low 'til we hit the night
And you hold me so tightly
It's hard to breathe
Oh
And I'm tired, I'm growing older
I'm getting weaker everyday, yeah
We follow the sun down low
We follow the sun down low
Lay down here
Beside me in the shallow water
Beside me where the sun is shining on us still
Lay down here
Beside me in the hallowed water
Beside me where the silver lining stays until
The sirens' calling
The sirens' calling
Yeah, I'm tired, I'm growing older
I'm getting weaker everyday, yeah
I am drowning, and you're stealing every breath
Take me away and just
Lay down here
Beside me in the shallow water
Beside me where the sun is shining on us still
Lay down here
Beside me in the hallowed water
Beside me where the silver lining stays until
The sirens' calling
The sirens' calling
In the song "Sirens," Lloyd Cher addresses the emotional burden of carrying someone's weight in a heavy heart as he heads back to start, exhausted and growing old. He feels weaker each day, yet he finds solace in his lover's arms as they lay down beside each other in the shallow water, where the sun is still shining, and the silver lining stays until the sirens' calling. The sirens' calling symbolizes the inevitable end and a surrender to fate.
The song conveys a sense of weariness and despair but also a deep connection and love between the two main characters. The physicality of the song is striking as Cher breathes heavily and expresses how it is even hard to breathe when his lover holds him so tightly. This intimacy creates a contrast with the sirens' impending doom, which makes the song more poignant.
