Sirens
Lolamarsh Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sentimental one without any story
Your pages are full
Your age is a lie
Tall and funny soul your daydream ain't over
Portray the land
Behold your crown

Hear the sirens calling

Old and merry tune
While the sailor's falling
Last chance to rise don't worry
Need a lullaby to restore your glory
To restore your glory

Foreign creature your gift is a burden
You were born for the stars
It has shown in your cards
Frightened being you better run but slowly
Heir to the throne
With patience alone

In a million years it'll all be over
In a million years it'll all be over
Till then

Hear the sirens calling
Old and merry tune
While the sailor's falling
Last chance to rise don't worry

Need a lullaby to restore your glory
To restore your glory

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lolamarsh's song Sirens describe a person who is sentimental and has a rich inner life, yet lacks any concrete narrative or backstory. The person is referred to as "the sentimental one," who has "pages...full" and an age that is "a lie," indicating a depth and complexity that is belied by their outward appearance. The song also describes "foreign creature" who has a natural gift but is burdened by it, and is "frightened" but nonetheless destined to "inherit the throne."

These two characters are united by the passage of time, as the song advises that in "a million years it'll all be over." This statement is repeated several times throughout the song, serving as a somber reminder of life's transience. Against this backdrop of fleeting existence, the chorus urges the listener to heed the call of the sirens, to embrace life's fleeting pleasures, and to "rise" to the occasion.

Overall, the lyrics of Sirens encourage the listener to embrace their own complexity and live life to the fullest, despite the inescapable fact of mortality.

Usually I'm not into stuff on mainstream radio, but when I heard Sirens for the first time, I had to find out what it was.
While hearing this outstanding song, I'm picturing heroic western scenes in my head.
Great composition and a voice that I wanna dive in, just like into a giant cup of hot chocolate.
10/10 Lolas 🤘

Absolutely delightful music and album. I feel so much happiness and calm when I'm briefing through Lola Marsh's songs. Big hug from London to Tel Aviv!
