Sirens of the Caspian
Sevdaliza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Around sailor boy
Her silence is rippling after before
He kissed her
To stay wide awake
Forgived her
"Please stay away"
He knows, he knows, he knows He knows, he knows, he knows
He knows, he knows, he knows
He knows
I said Hey, hey!
Oh, what a ship we sail!
We kissed our death to will
There's no one left to take, to take
I said Hey, hey!
We're born to recreate!
Sinful creatures and then away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
I said Hey, hey!
Oh, what a ship we sail!
We kissed our death to will
There's no one left to take, to take
I said Hey, hey!
We're born to recreate!
Sinful creatures and then
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
The lyrics to Sevdaliza's song "Sirens of the Caspian" tells a story of a sailor boy who is being lured by a siren. The siren is circling around him, tempting him with her silence that is rippling after before. The sailor boy kisses her to stay wide awake, but then pleads with her to stay away. He knows that the siren's song could lead him to his death, but he is still drawn to her. The chorus repeats "Hey, hey! Oh, what a ship we sail!" emphasizing the danger and the excitement of the situation. The sailor boy realizes that he and the siren are sinful creatures, born to recreate and ultimately away, away, away from the safety of land.
The lyrics in "Sirens of the Caspian" strongly suggests that the siren is a symbol of temptation or seduction, drawing the sailor boy towards a dangerous path. The use of repetition in the chorus reinforces the idea that the sailors are aware of the danger, but they are still willing to take the risk. The lyrics tell a story of a struggle between resistance and submission, and how easily humans can be swayed by their desires. The song can also be interpreted as a metaphor for the dangers of addiction, as the sailor boy is drawn into a dangerous situation by his desires, knowing that he might lose his life.

C’est l’histoire d’un homme qui tombe d’un immeuble de cinquante étages
Le mec, au fur et à mesure de sa chute se répète sans cesse pour se rassurer
Jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien
Mais l'important n’est pas la chute, c’est l’atterrissage

I'm so angry that her music is not played more in North America! I'm going to request this song and see if they will play it on the radio in my local area. I need you to tour here. I have family in Amsterdam that I do not know, but I want to go to that concert so bad. Keep up the excellent work Sevda.
