Sirens
Mia Giovina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will I miss the sunset drives
I know growing up is due for me
But I've never been the type to fall in line
They knocked the old grocery store
And no the new one don't feel right
Oh my brother he is so sure
Where do I go
How do I know
I don't hate Jersey
But it's not good for me
Lost a dream so i could fit in
A neighborhood of politicians
Wasting the life i'm chasing
Maybe i'll be back in 10 years
When metros get too fast
Cus I don't hate Jersey
But it's not good for me
Thought I found myself at 18
Then I spent a year alone
Purple walls get suffocating
But they've watch me heal and break and brought me home
So I don't hate Jersey
But it's not good for me
Lost a dream so i could fit in
Neighborhoods of politicians
Wasting the life i'm chasing
Maybe i'll be back in 10 years
When metros get too fast
Cus I don't hate Jersey
But it's not good for me
I'm not gonna stay I'm gonna get away 4x
I don't hate Jersey
But it's not good for me
I don't hate Jersey
But It's not good for me
In Mia Giovina's song "Sirens," the singer is grappling with the idea of leaving her hometown of New Jersey for New York City. Although she acknowledges that growing up means leaving one's comfort zone, she's not the type to fall in line. She's uncertain about what the future holds and feels lost without a clue. She wonders where she should go and how she should know. She's feeling conflicted about her decision because she loves New Jersey, but she knows it's not good for her anymore because she's lost a dream while trying to fit in.
The singer continues to tell her story, expressing that although she thought she found herself at 18, she spent a year alone, making purple walls suffocate her. However, she learned how to heal and break, and her hometown brought her home. Despite this, she's decided to leave and find her path in New York City, where she hopes to chase a life that's worth living. The song highlights the idea that sometimes, we must move away from what we know to discover what we're truly capable of achieving.

If I make it out to New York
If I manage to escape to New York
Will I miss the sunset drives
Will I long for the sunset drives
I know growing up is due for me
I am aware that I need to grow up
But I've never been the type to fall in line
But I have never been one to conform
They knocked the old grocery store
They demolished the old grocery store
And no the new one don't feel right
But the new one doesn't feel right
Oh my brother he is so sure
My brother is so certain
But I'm lost without a clue and call it life
But I feel lost and confused and call it life
Where do I go
Where should I go
How do I know
How can I know
I don't hate Jersey
I don't feel hatred towards New Jersey
But it's not good for me
But it's not the right fit for me
Lost a dream so i could fit in
Abandoned a dream to fit in
A neighborhood of politicians
A community of politicians
Wasting the life i'm chasing
Wasting the life I'm striving for
Maybe i'll be back in 10 years
Perhaps I'll return in ten years
When metros get too fast
If the city becomes too fast-paced
Thought I found myself at 18
Believed I found my true self at 18
Then I spent a year alone
But then spent a year alone
Purple walls get suffocating
The purple walls feel suffocating
But they've watch me heal and break and brought me home
But they have witnessed me recover and fall apart and brought me back
I'm not gonna stay I'm gonna get away
I'm not planning to stay, I'm going to leave
I don't hate Jersey
I don't feel hatred towards New Jersey
But it's not good for me
But it's not the right fit for me
I don't hate Jersey
I don't feel hatred towards New Jersey
But It's not good for me
But it's not the right fit for me

Lyrics
If I make it out to New York
Will I miss the sunset drives
I know growing up is due for me
But I’ve never been the type to fall in line
(Verse 2)
They knocked the old grocery store
And no the new one don’t feel right
Oh my brother he is so sure
But I’m lost without a clue and call it life
(Pre)
Where do I go
How do I know
(Chorus)
I don’t hate Jersey
But it’s not good for me
Lost a dream so i could fit in
A neighborhood of politicians
Wasting the life i’m chasing
Maybe i’ll bе back in 10 years
When metros gеt too fast
Cus I don’t hate Jersey
But it’s not good for me
Verse 3)
Thought I found myself at 18
Then I spent a year alone
Purple walls get suffocating
But they’ve watch me heal and break and brought me home
(Chorus)
So I don’t hate Jersey
But it’s not good for me
Lost a dream so i could fit in
Neighborhoods of politicians
Wasting the life i’m chasing
Maybe i’ll be back in 10 years
When metros get too fast
Cus I don’t hate Jersey
But it’s not good for me
(Bridge)
I’m not gonna stay I’m gonna get away 4x
(Outro)
I don’t hate Jersey
But it’s not good for me
I don’t hate Jersey
But It’s not good for me

There are those rare artists when you first hear them that stop you in your tracks and your connection to their song is immediate and deeply personal. Mia is one of those artists. Beautiful work!
