sirens
Paint By Numbers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been lying in this bed for days on end
Don't talk to me just let me sleep
I had that dream this week
Where everything goes wrong, let me take you there
Trace the patterns and repeat
I'm left with what was underneath no heart it's useless
And everywhere we go
Everything goes wrong, let me take you there
You won't believe all the colors that dance
Inside the flame
You won't believe how these walls cave in
Fall down and light me up again
Here's to the holiday and the life that we leave
We never got to say goodbye I'm sorry
And they will gather around when the sirens ring out
The celebration's moved on to a better place
If there's something to talk about can it wait
I can't talk right now
Moving backwards, what happened last year?
I can't tell you been wasted for too long
The opening lyrics of "Sirens" by Paint By Numbers speak to the heavy weight of summer's arrival, with the lethargy and laziness that often accompany the season causing the singer to remain immobile in bed for days on end. They have a dream wherein everything goes wrong, and despite urging listeners to take them to this dark place, they're left only with what is underneath, which is deemed useless. The song then shifts into describing the various ways in which everything repeatedly goes wrong, and how the singer feels trapped in a cycle of failure.

Well summer's in my head again
I'm feeling nostalgic for a happier time
I've been lying in this bed for days on end
I'm feeling depressed and stuck in a rut
Don't talk to me just let me sleep
I don't want to deal with reality right now
I had that dream this week
I had a nightmare that keeps haunting me
Where everything goes wrong, let me take you there
I'm in a dark place and want to share it with someone else
Trace the patterns and repeat
I feel trapped in a cycle of negativity
I'm left with what was underneath no heart it's useless
I feel emotionally drained and empty
You've heard the song so let's move along
I don't want to dwell on my problems anymore
And everywhere we go
No matter where I turn, I can't escape my turmoil
Everything goes wrong, let me take you there
I want someone to share in my pain and see the world as I do
You won't believe all the colors that dance
Amidst the darkness, I'm able to find moments of beauty and hope
Inside the flame
Despite the danger and risk of getting burned, I'm drawn to the intensity of my emotions
You won't believe how these walls cave in
The weight of my problems is crushing me
Fall down and light me up again
As much as my struggles hurt me, they also fuel my creativity and art
Here's to the holiday and the life that we leave
Let's celebrate the good times and memories we have had
We never got to say goodbye I'm sorry
I regret not being able to properly express my emotions before it was too late
And they will gather around when the sirens ring out
When my life is in danger, people will come together and attempt to help me
The celebration's moved on to a better place
Despite the pain and sadness, there is hope for a better future
If there's something to talk about can it wait
I'm not in the right frame of mind to have a deep conversation right now
I can't talk right now
I need time alone to process my emotions and thoughts
Moving backwards, what happened last year?
I'm struggling to move on from past traumas and mistakes
I can't tell you been wasted for too long
My unhealthy coping mechanisms are preventing me from healing and making progress
