Writing poetry at an early age began the footwork and substance of his projections and aspirations to create sound. Shortly after, the desire of songwriting led to picking up a guitar. During this period, songs upon songs were written.
The introduction to electronic music was a seed planted many years ago. It developed into a unique cohesion of computer production with organic artifacts. This elemental form of designing music is now becoming of this artist.
Sirens
Loryn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I just don't know how to love
Catch this killer in my heart
Before she blows us both apart
It′s gonna get ugly, ugly
It's gonna get ugly, oh
Boy, you better run
Before the sirens come
My heart′s like a gun
Boy, you better run
Before the sirens come
Before the sirens come
Maybe I could learn to trust
Before ash is ash and dust is dust
Shoot ′em down, they get too close
Band-aids, they don't work on ghosts
It′s gonna get ugly, ugly
It's gonna get ugly, oh
I ain′t safe to love
Boy, you better run
Before the sirens come
My heart's like a gun
Boy, you better run
Before the sirens come
Before the sirens come, mmm
Before the sirens come, mmm
I don′t wanna let him in
'Cause I don't wanna kill again
Ooo, someone take me in
Calm this trigger, make me safer
My fingers start to shake
Oh well, I just pray
It′s doesn′t get ugly, ugly
It's doesn′t get ugly, oh
I ain't safe to love
Boy, you better run
Before the sirens come
My heart′s like a gun
Boy, you better run
Before the sirens come
Before the sirens come, mmm
Before the sirens come, mmm
Before the sirens come
The lyrics of Loryn's song "Sirens" paint a picture of a hesitant lover, unsure of whether they can trust themselves with someone else's heart. The singer of the song acknowledges the danger that they pose to any potential partner and recognizes the potential for emotional turmoil. The opening lines, "Maybe it's just in my blood / And I just don't know how to love" reveal the root of the problem - the singer's struggle to form a genuine, lasting connection with another person. They describe their own heart as a ticking time bomb, warning their partner to "run" before it's too late.
Throughout the song, the singer's fear of harming someone else is palpable. They mention the need to "catch this killer in my heart" and the danger of getting too close to others, as they "shoot 'em down." The imagery of sirens, typically associated with warning of impending danger or harm, serves as a powerful metaphor. The singer fears that those sirens will sound, signaling the onset of pain and chaos in their own heart.
Ultimately, "Sirens" is a cautionary tale of someone grappling with their own emotional struggles, as they strive to protect themselves and others from heartbreak. It's a raw and honest portrayal of the inner turmoil that can come with the pursuit of romantic love.
