Sirens
Tom Odell/Musicfire.in Lyrics

Tear me down
Requesting someone to break him down or destroy him completely

Tell me I don't need to fear
Asking for reassurance that he doesn't need to be afraid

Tell me now
Urgently requesting the person to tell him

Tell me somebody's near
Asking for someone to be near him for support

Sirens, sirens are all I hear
Only hearing sirens and nothing else

They keep calling out
Sirens keep making noise

Keep calling out someone's name
Sirens seem to be shouting out someone's name

And all I can do is pray
Feeling helpless and only able to pray for safety

These sirens
Referring to the sirens he hears

Sirens don't come our way
Wishing that the sirens don't come near them

Or we'll be all run run running away
If sirens come their way, they'll have to quickly escape

It's raining now
It started raining at the moment

Raining on someone's fears
The rain is making their fears worse

Raining down
Heavy rain falling down from the sky

I've heard the rain is the city's tears
Referring to a metaphorical meaning of the rain being the tears of the city

But these sirens
Referring to hearing the sirens despite the rain

These sirens are all I hear
Still hearing the sirens above the sound of the rain

Or we'll be all run run running away
Again emphasizing the need to run away if the sirens come closer

All run run running away
Repeatedly stressing the urgency of escaping

Oh be all run run running away
Adding a sense of desperation to the need for running away

When sirens they come our way
Reiterating the need to escape when the sirens come closer
