Sirens
Tom Odell/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me I don't need to fear
Tell me now
Tell me somebody's near
Sirens, sirens are all I hear
They keep calling out
Keep calling out someone's name
And all I can do is pray
These sirens
Sirens don't come our way
Or we'll be all run run running away
Oh be all run run running away
All run run running away
When sirens they come our way
It's raining now
Raining on someone's fears
Raining down
I've heard the rain is the city's tears
But these sirens
These sirens are all I hear
And they keep calling out
Keep calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all I can do is pray
These sirens
These sirens don't come our way
Or we'll be all run run running away
Oh be all run run running away
Oh be all run run running away
When sirens they come our
All run run running away
All run run running away (oh, just)
Oh we'll be all run run running away
When sirens they come our way
The lyrics of Tom Odell/Musicfire.in's song "Sirens" paints a picture of fear and desperation. The singer seems to be in a situation where they are surrounded by sirens, possibly police or ambulance sirens, and they cannot escape the noise. The repetition of the phrase "keep calling out someone's name" suggests that something tragic has happened and the sirens are a response to it.
The lines "tear me down, tell me I don't need to fear" could be interpreted as the singer feeling helpless and needing someone to assure them that everything will be okay. But the only thing they hear are the sirens, which are a constant reminder of the danger that lurks nearby. The rain adds to the gloomy atmosphere and perhaps symbolizes the tears shed over the tragic event.
Overall, the song depicts a feeling of powerlessness in the face of imminent danger, and the need for reassurance and comfort in moments of fear and uncertainty.

Dear person whoever reads this,
Hey, you, yes, I am talking right to you. I hope you will see yourself with the eyes I see you one day, because I can tell you have some awesome music taste :) You’re such a beautiful human being and worth and enough. I hope you know that you do only need yourself to be happy, I know society build up the standard that whenever you’re alone you’re not living a happy live. But in fact that is not true, if you start to realize that you actually deserve all the good things happening to you, you will treat yourself a lot nicer. I hope you let yourself rest, don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes, over regret, and over everything your mind wants to destroy you. I wish I could remove all those demons inside of your head because you deserve to feel happy. If you ever feel lonely then watch the sky, because you know, someone, at the same time is watching the sky too, maybe feeling the same way..I am glad you exist and I hope you won’t ever remove your own spot in this world, maybe you don’t feel like you belong here but, Angel, then build your home here. I don’t want you to leave this world unhappy. I want you to live every little second, I want you to feel alive, I don’t want you to see yourself just existing. You deserve it. Whatever happened, it’s not your fault, the demons in your head recognize that you have a beautiful heart, they want to take it because they have never seen such beautiful heart as yours, so why let them win over you? . You’re not selfish for isolating yourself, but you deserve to talk to someone. If you’re reading this than please never forget to breath and smile.
Don’t live up to other standards! It’s your story and not theirs.
Life for those who couldn’t, smile for those who forgot what a genuine smile is, love like there’s no other, hug like its your last one.
I love you and send you hugs.
You’re so strong, you’re still here, and I am proud of you.
YOU ARE NOT USELESS. READ THAT AGAIN.
YOU ARE WORTH IT. READ THAT AGAIN.
YOU ARE LOVED. READ THAT AGAIN.
I AM GLAD YOU EXIST. READ THAT AGAIN.
YOU ARE NOT A PROBLEM. YOU ARE HUMAN AND YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID. READ THAT AGAIN.
You’re not a burden to anyone, don’t be afraid to talk, to use your voice.
You’re beautiful inside out.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. READ THAT AGAIN.
I WISH I COULD HUGH YOU RIGHT NOW, SO A VIRTUAL HUG WILL DO.
It hurts me to see you’re in pain :( you deserve so much man, don’t let your emotions control you. Don’t let them get the best of you.
I love u I love u I love u I love u I love u please don’t go.
I am sorry that no one is hearing you, I am sorry no one is noticing that you have lost yourself. I wish I could take your pain away, it hurts me to see the pain in your eyes. I love you trough my words and I mean it. I just want you to stay, hold on a little longer okay? Please? For me.??
I hope you have an awesome day/ morning/ evening/ night.
If it’s night for you, go to sleep, I know it’s hard to fall asleep right now but you deserve a good sleep. If you have nightmares, please, don’t let them fight you.
If it’s day for you, don’t start it by such sad music, I know it’s impossible to have a good day with such mindset but take baby steps, start by drinking two cups of water in the morning and so on.. You will start building little healthy habits.
If it’s evening for you, you’re probably overwhelmed and stressed, I want you to know it’s okay to feel the way you feel. You don’t need to be scared, of course you’re overwhelmed or stressed, I mean who wouldn’t? But it’s important to know that when you feel that way you should do a little self care, such as taking a bath for example? You deserve to feel at ease and relaxed.
And if you are somewhere in between I hope you know that you’re stronger than you think, I know you will make it :)
All I want for you is to stay and feel alive.
Now wipe those tears away and smile for me, you really don’t know much a smile can brighten someone’s day, do you? I hope one day yours will become a genuine one where you don’t need to fake it anymore, because I can’t say this enough, you deserve a good smile and to feel alive. You’re worth more than every fucking cent in this world.
I need you here with me :).
Remember crying is not weakness, let it out as much as you can but don’t let the emotion control you by giving up. It’s okay, you’re here, you’re safe, you can let it out.
Did anyone asked you, how you are feeling today? If not, how are you really? I don’t think you’re doing good, but you will feel good at one point. Don’t give yourself up.
And anyone who gets to be with you, doesn’t know how fucking lucky he/ she/ they is :).
Enough with beating up yourself for today, okay?!
- The stranger that cares about you more than anything.
I hope this is enough for you to stay today, tomorrow will be a new day, a new start, let go now. I hope you can stay.
I hope you will remember my words- becho :) <3

This made me cry... It made me feel like it was the end of everything... and it made me... happy, that I thought it was the end.. Because in the end, we don’t mean anything to this world. We’re just another forgotten person with unhappy memories that will last forever.
But, once it’s real, we think of all the good memories, and think.. Wow, I really meant a lot to the some people I care about.. I felt... Loved.. <3
And you think at that moment, you meant a lot to half of this world, you think.. Oh.. I, I changed some people... You helped people...
But no one ever took a minute to help you.. and that’s what hurts, and the only people that really cares are people you can’t see, and that’s the people who are online, they... CARE♥️
You mean a lot to them... And they will never give up on you,
But, it’s to late you already gave up on you’re self..💔
ohchiki !
this made me feel something i haven’t felt for a long time

This-is amazing…thank you! I do think I forgot how to genuinely smile. When I’m not around my friends or family…my face is always straight…I don’t like smiling or showing my body much I struggle with confidence but luckily I’m gaining it back…it doesn’t help that my dad doesn’t support me being non-binary…happy pride month…I know no one will see this but still
