sirens
Wilsen Lyrics

Here it comes so swiftly, once again.
The feeling of restlessness and uncertainty is approaching the singer quickly and forcefully.

It's scraping at my rooted heels, and tugging at my dress.
The feeling is causing the singer to feel trapped and unable to move forward.

Calling, urging me to move along,
The feeling is pushing the singer to make a change and move on from their current situation.

If I had my head til the morningtime, will it have gone?
The singer wonders if the feeling will have disappeared by morning if they can clear their head.

Violet fog of night, sirens of the dawn
The feeling is like a dense, confusing fog that is accompanied by a sense of urgency and impending change.

Long ago I begged for endless thrill,
The singer used to pursue excitement and adventure at any cost.

Though I've let go of lovers and my callow thoughts,
Now they have learned from past mistakes and let go of certain things in hopes of finding true fulfillment.

Illusion haunts me still.
The singer is still haunted by the illusion that there is something else out there that will make them truly happy.

You can catch me in the garden by the trees.
The singer can often be found trying to work through their problems in nature.

I'll be burying the promises you'd never let me keep.
They are trying to let go of promises that were never kept in the past.

And just hold me still, don't let me act upon,
The singer is asking for support and comfort to resist the urge to act impulsively.

Oh, the scraping at my rooted heels, it's just the sirens of the dawn.
The restless feeling that is holding them back is just a reminder that change is necessary and they need to keep moving forward.

Violet fog of night, sirens of the dawn
The feeling is still all-consuming and intense, even in moments of supposed peace or clarity.

Violet fog of night
The pervasive feeling is a thick, confusing haze that makes it difficult to see a clear path forward.
