The Whip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't know what to look out for
Many year, feelings we carried
Why did always you set the score?
You have put your fingerprints on me
Sirens ringing, calling destiny
I heard sirens, I heard sirens
Didn't come easy, the truths they were hidden
Cast for all rewards that you worked for
Drawn to the beacon, X marks destination
Entered before the sirens stopped
You have put your fingerprints on me
Sirens ringing, calling destiny
I heard sirens, I heard sirens
I heard sirens, I heard sirens
You know the only truth I know
You know the only truth I know
You know the only truth I know
Is in the palm of my hands
I heard sirens, I heard sirens
I heard sirens, I heard sirens
I heard sirens, I heard sirens
Sounds of love, sounds of love
You know the only truth I know
You know the only truth I know
You know the only truth I know
Is in the palm of my hands
You know the only truth I know
You know the only truth I know
You know the only truth I know
Is in the palm of my hands
The Whip's song "Sirens" is a song about being led astray by someone who has put their "fingerprints" on the singer. The song speaks of following the "sirens," or the chain of actions that were taken, ultimately leading to confusion and heartache. The singer did not know what to look out for, but they carried feelings for many years. Despite the confusion, the sirens rang, calling the singer to their destiny.
The song speaks of the various truths that were hidden, and how the singer was drawn to the "beacon," the X marking the destination. The singer acknowledges that the only truth they know is in the palm of their hands. The sirens, which were initially a symbol of potential and hope, become corrupted through the course of the song. The symbol changes from opportunity to something potentially catastrophic. The singer realizes that the sounds of the sirens might indeed be the sounds of love, but his/her prospects for love have become complicated, and the song ends on a note of someone who has been led astray and lost love.
Overall, The Whip's song "Sirens" is a potent and lyrically complex song that speaks to the complications of the human heart, and the ease with which we can be led down a dark path. It provides an insightful window into the human experience, and the quest for true love.
Line by Line Meaning
Follow the sirens, the chain of the actions
Follow the path of consequences that the siren's call leads to
Didn't know what to look out for
Unaware of the dangers ahead
Many year, feelings we carried
Emotions held for a long time
Why did always you set the score?
Questioning the motive for always being in control
You have put your fingerprints on me
Leaving a mark on one's identity
Sirens ringing, calling destiny
The sirens are guiding one's fate
I heard sirens, I heard sirens
The sound of the sirens is resonating
Didn't come easy, the truths they were hidden
The hidden truths were difficult to uncover
Cast for all rewards that you worked for
Thrown away for the sake of recognition
Drawn to the beacon, X marks destination
Attracted to the goal, where the spot is marked with an X
Entered before the sirens stopped
Acted before realizing the danger
You know the only truth I know
I am aware of the one truth
Is in the palm of my hands
It is within my control
Sounds of love, sounds of love
The sirens' call could be mistaken for love
