sirens
Soren Bryce Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk the line
Between the fight
Between the innocent and the riots
In my head spitting up lightning
As a diving missile sitting pretty in the sky
Then si-i-rens going off like you last night
Feeling flicker on and off like a flashlight
Flash flood

Flash drive
Life flashes by
Deer in the headlights
Dear you're so uptight

I hope it stings the worst when I pull this thorn out his side
But the ones who know are the ones who stick around
I hope it stings the worst when I pull this thorn out his side
But the ones who know are the ones who fall down

I wronged the right
Basking in light
Basking in something
That is poison hidden underneath my skin
Turning black
Talking back
Staring up at the ceiling
It's fi-i-ine when you go off at midnight
Not worrying you're head about how finite
Life is lying
Say it's tiring
Sleep til the days out
Sleep when you got down

I hope it stings the worst when I pull this thorn out his side
But the ones who know are the ones who stick around
I hope it stings the worst when I pull this thorn out his side
But the ones who know are the ones who fall down

I hope it stings the worst when I pulled this thorn out his side
But the ones who know are the ones who stick around
I hope it stings the worst when I pull this thorn out his side
But the ones who know are the ones who fall down

But the ones who know are the ones who fall down
And the ones who know are the ones who fall down

Trying to differentiate between the innocent people and the ones causing trouble through the chaos

In my head spitting up lightning
My thoughts are uncontrollable and aggressive, like bolts of lightning

As a diving missile sitting pretty in the sky
I feel powerful and dangerous, like a missile soaring high up in the sky

Then si-i-rens going off like you last night
Suddenly, the blaring sound of sirens reminds me of what happened the previous night

Feeling flicker on and off like a flashlight
My emotions and thoughts are constantly changing and unstable, like a flickering flashlight

Flash flood
Overwhelming and sudden outpour of emotions and thoughts

Flash drive
I wish I could delete and forget all of my negative experiences and emotions, but they are saved in my mind like a flash drive

Life flashes by
Life goes by in a blink of an eye, and I struggle to keep up with it

Deer in the headlights
I feel paralyzed and unable to move, like a deer caught in headlights

Dear you're so uptight
I am frustrated with someone who is overly anxious and stressed

I hope it stings the worst when I pull this thorn out his side
I want the person I hurt to feel immense pain when I apologize and try to make amends

But the ones who know are the ones who stick around
The people who truly care about and understand me will stay by my side even through difficult times

Basking in light
Enjoying the good times and basking in the positive energy

Basking in something
I am enjoying something, but there may be a hidden danger or negative aspect to it

That is poison hidden underneath my skin
Although it seems good on the surface, there is a poisonous and harmful aspect to it that is hidden from view

Turning black
My emotions and thoughts are turning negative and dark

Talking back
I am standing up for myself and not letting anyone push me around

Staring up at the ceiling
Lost in thought and reflection, looking up at nothing in particular

It's fi-i-ine when you go off at midnight
It may seem like everything is okay when you are doing something reckless or harmful at midnight, but it can have consequences

Not worrying you're head about how finite
Not considering how short and limited life is, and the impact of your actions on others

Life is lying
Life can be deceitful and not everything is as it seems

Say it's tiring
I am exhausted and worn out from this constant struggle and chaos

Sleep til the days out
Escaping from reality and sleeping through the day to avoid facing problems or responsibilities

Sleep when you got down
Ignoring responsibilities by sleeping or partying instead of dealing with problems

And the ones who know are the ones who fall down
The people who truly understand and empathize with me are the ones who struggle and fall down alongside me
