sirens
The Perks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when I'm feeling alright
they'll be singing
"Come on, hold me tight."
and I do it in spite
of the hell they're bringing
As the boat casts away
the sirens they sing, "whoa a"
"whoa a"
temptation's coming my way
In the eye of the storm
when I'm broken and torn
they'll be singing
"I can keep you warm."
a rose with a deadly thorn
is beautiful but stinging
As the boat casts away
and the beacon light fades
the sirens they sing, "whoa a"
"whoa a"
temptation's coming my way
temptation's coming my way
I saw a light at the end of the tunnel
It pulled me in
yeah It pulled me in
they poured my love and desire through a funnel
and drank my sin
that's how the story ends
of the sirens
the sirens are sometimes all I see
I struggle when the sirens,
all the sirens come to me
the sirens are sometimes all I see
I struggle when the sirens,
all the sirens come to me.
The Perks' song "Sirens" talks about the danger of succumbing to temptations and the struggles that come with it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer being lured by the sirens' tempting calls, despite knowing the trouble they bring. The chorus has a repetitive, catchy tune that leaves a lasting impression on the listener.
The opening verse talks about the singer's late-night escapades, where the sirens' voices try to lure them in. Although they feel alright, they know that giving in to the sirens' calls will only lead to trouble. The second verse has a warning about wanting to be rescued in the middle of the storm but getting pulled in by the sirens' voices. These lines highlight the dangerous allure that the temptation holds and how it can be easy to give in. The third verse describes the singer's experience of being tricked by the sirens where they drank his sins while he struggled to resist their call.
The significance of the song lies in its metaphorical representation of temptation and the struggles that come along with it. The sirens in the song represent the internal desires and impulses that try to pull us away from our goals. The song urges the listener to exercise restraint and resist the seductive force that leads to ruin.

At the end of the night
When the night is over
when I'm feeling alright
When I am feeling good
they'll be singing
The sirens are singing
"Come on, hold me tight."
They are trying to lure me in with a seductive call to physical intimacy
and I do it in spite
Even though I know it's dangerous
of the hell they're bringing
Of the trouble that will follow
As the boat casts away
As I sail away
and the beacon light fades
And the guiding light is gone
the sirens they sing, "whoa a"
The sirens are singing their seductive song
"whoa a"
A refrain of their song
temptation's coming my way
I am being tempted
In the eye of the storm
When everything is chaos
when I'm broken and torn
When I am hurt and vulnerable
they'll be singing
The sirens are still singing their seductive song
"I can keep you warm."
Promising comfort and companionship
a rose with a deadly thorn
Beauty that is dangerous
is beautiful but stinging
Is appealing but harmful
I saw a light at the end of the tunnel
I thought there was hope
It pulled me in
But it drew me towards the sirens
yeah It pulled me in
Yes, I was drawn in
they poured my love and desire through a funnel
They manipulated my emotions
and drank my sin
And took advantage of my weakness
that's how the story ends
That is the outcome
of the sirens
Of their seduction
the sirens are sometimes all I see
I am haunted by their call
I struggle when the sirens,
I have a hard time resisting
all the sirens come to me
When they sing their song
the sirens are sometimes all I see
Their seductive call is ever-present
I struggle when the sirens,
It is hard to resist their call
all the sirens come to me.
When they sing their seductive song
