Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
lie awake in bed till 4
close the curtains
shut the door
toss and turn and pace the floor repetitive delusions
bang my head up to no conclusions for tonight i just want to lose control wake the fire arrest all these delusions and all the sirens they never stop echoing around for blocks pull me to the woods or a vacant lot somewhere i can't hear my thoughts tie me to the mast take me safely let the waters be unlocked steer the ship into the rocks for tonight
i just want to lose control
wake the fire break it and rewrite the role
wasted nights
go rest in these delusions
anxiety don't mess with me
no matter what you say i'm gonna get you outta my way
tie me to the mast with heart unlocked
don't let me steer the ship into the rocks
for tonight i just want to lose control wake the fire
break it and rewrite the role
shake the bite of all that leaves me stuck on hold
wasted nights
arrest all these delusions.
The song "Sirens" by Stranger Cat speaks about being overwhelmed by anxiety and wanting to escape these delusions. The lyrics begin with the singer expressing a desire to avoid going out and instead staying in bed until four in the morning. The imagery of closing the curtains and shutting the door suggests a desire for seclusion, which implies that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and needs some space to clear her head.
The singer then talks about experiencing repetitive delusions and banging her head up to no conclusion. The repetition of banging the head suggests the singer's desperation to get rid of intrusive thoughts. She wants to "lose control" and break away from the hold that these delusions have on her mind. The constant sound of the sirens echoing around the streets represents the singer's fight against anxiety that never seems to end.
Her desire to escape is portrayed when she sings "pull me to the woods or a vacant lot somewhere I can't hear my thoughts." She wants a place where she can escape from the constant noise and chaos that she feels around her. The image of being tied to the mast suggests a willingness to surrender control and allow someone else to guide her towards a safe place - away from all the chaos.
In conclusion, "Sirens" talks about the overwhelming nature of anxiety and the need to escape it. The song captures the singer's desire to break free from her repetitive delusions, and her desire to be led to a safe space.

Stranger Cat's pretty nifty. This is far from my favorite song on the album, but it's still pretty good, and I hope she releases another album at some point in time.
