Sirens
Odell Tom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me I don't need to fear
Tell me now
Tell me somebody's near
Sirens, sirens are all I hear
They keep calling out
Keep calling out someone's name
And all I can do is pray
These sirens
Sirens don't come our way
Or we'll be all run run running away
Oh be all run run running away
All run run running away
When sirens they come our way
It's raining now
Raining on someone's fears
Raining down
I've heard the rain is the city's tears
But these sirens
These sirens are all I hear
And they keep calling out
Keep calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all I can do is pray
These sirens
These sirens don't come our way
Or we'll be all run run running away
Oh be all run run running away
Oh be all run run running away
When sirens they come our
All run run running away
All run run running away (oh, just)
Oh we'll be all run run running away
When sirens they come our way
The song "Sirens" by Tom Odell is a reflection on the danger and uncertainty that permeates modern life. The "sirens" of the title refer not only to the wailing sirens of emergency vehicles, but also to the general sense of unease and apprehension that comes with living in a world increasingly marked by violence and turmoil.
In the first verse, the singer calls out for reassurance in the face of this danger, asking someone to tell him that he doesn't need to fear and that somebody is there to help him. However, the sirens continue to wail in the background, a constant reminder of the world's instability.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the rain that falls during a storm, hinting at the idea that the tears of the city are flowing down around him. Yet even amidst this emotional storm, the sirens remain a dominant presence, calling out for someone in need like a warning that danger is never too far away.
In the end, the only recourse is to run, and the singer imagines himself fleeing from the sirens as they draw relentlessly closer. Ultimately, "Sirens" is a stark reminder of the challenges that we face in modern life, and a call to action to face them with courage and determination.

Tear me down
I want to be told the truth, even if it's painful
Tell me I don't need to fear
Assure me that everything will be okay
Tell me now
I need an immediate response
Tell me somebody's near
I need to know that I'm not alone
Sirens, sirens are all I hear
I am overwhelmed by the sound of emergency sirens
They keep calling out
The sirens are persistent and constant
Keep calling out someone's name
The sirens are searching for someone specific
And all I can do is pray
I feel powerless and can only hope for the best
These sirens
The sirens that I hear
Sirens don't come our way
I don't want to be involved in whatever situation the sirens are responding to
Or we'll be all run run running away
If we do get involved, we'll have to flee the scene
It's raining now
The weather reflects the mood of the situation
Raining on someone's fears
The rain exacerbates someone's anxieties
Raining down
The rain intensifies
I've heard the rain is the city's tears
The rain represents the collective grief of the city
But these sirens
Despite the rain, the sirens are still audible
These sirens are all I hear
I can't escape the sound of the emergency sirens
When sirens they come our way
If the sirens get closer to us
All run run running away
We'll have to flee the scene to protect ourselves
