The song "Sirens" by Urbanstep is a powerful depiction of the emotional turmoil that one can experience in a dysfunctional and toxic relationship. The lyrics of the song evoke the feelings of despair and helplessness that an individual goes through when they are stuck in a relationship that is hurting them. The opening lines of the song "Am I a nuisance? Do you want me to fuck off? Isn′t it useless, Trying to pick what's on your mind?" indicate the desperation of the singer to understand the mind of their partner who is no longer giving them the love and attention they need. They feel abandoned and betrayed by their partner.

The singer expresses how they feel like they are losing their mind, and their emotions are running high. The lines "Emotions running high, I can′t keep myself composed, The oceans running down my hands, I can't feel a pulse" depict the feeling of being overwhelmed and drowning in their emotions. They are begging for their partner to take the pain away and not leave them alone. The lines "Don't leave me lonely, friend!" emphasize the pain of being alone and abandoned by the person who used to be their friend and support system.

The repetition of the line "You're killing me!" throughout the song emphasizes the toxic and harmful nature of the relationship. The singer is exasperated and can't help but point out how their partner's behavior is causing them harm. Overall, the song "Sirens" captures the raw emotions of someone who is going through a tough time in their relationship and is struggling to cope with it.
