sirens
glints Lyrics

Bronze on gold and gold on red
The color combination suggests a lure into a trap

Drag me down to your ocean bed
The lure aims to lead the listener to a dangerous place

Sing your air and reel me in
The song is used as the tool to reel in the listener

The sweets of sin will soon sink in
The consequences of falling into the trap will soon become clear

As she lies on the rocks
A reference to the traditional mythological image of Sirens as half-woman, half-bird creatures who lure sailors with their songs

It's nature she mocks
The Siren's song is portrayed as contrary to the laws of nature

With her skin of silk
The Siren's appearance is seductive and smooth

Balmed with honey and milk
Further description of the Siren's seductive appearance

I'll approach her cliffs
The artist acknowledges that they are willingly heading into danger

Movement like hieroglyphs
The Siren's movements are described as having a mysterious and ancient quality

I'll sink down to her riff
The singer succumbs to the lure of the Siren's song

For a single whiff
The artist desires only a moment of pleasure, despite the danger

Majestic but poisonous
The Siren is portrayed as beautiful but dangerous

Villainous yet harmless
The Siren may not intend harm, but her song is ultimately dangerous

Ambigue to the bone
The true nature of the Siren is deliberately unclear

Disown disown
The artist recognizes that they must reject the Siren's lure

With my salted soul
The artist is already impacted by the lure

And my pickled skin
The singer has already spent a lot of time under the Siren's influence

See I dozed, overdosed
The singer has fallen deep under the Siren's spell

And went over the rim
The artist has gone beyond the point of no return

And the sweet taste of forbidden fruit
A reference to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, who were tempted by the forbidden fruit

Soon becomes sour
The consequences of giving in to temptation become apparent

And the heat and haste of forgotten youth
A reference to the impulsiveness of youth, which can lead to bad decisions

Can come as a cold shower
The aftermath of the bad decision can be harsh

Months awake won't go to bed
The singer can't forget the experience, even though it happened a long time ago

No matter what's the hour
The memory of the experience is persistent

So sirens sing me on the rocks
The singer is still tempted by the Sirens, despite the previous experience

To withstand not within my power
The artist acknowledges that resisting the temptation is difficult

I see the girls with the curls in their hair
The artist is still drawn to temptation

I see the girls wearing pearls and I stare
The seductive qualities of these women are enticing

In a waking state things might turn out to be a nightmare
The singer's rational mind acknowledges the danger of giving in to temptation

But you with your flair make it easy to bear
Despite the danger, the lure of temptation is still appealing

Beauty and delicacy I head for the epiphany
The artist is drawn to beauty and delicacy, hoping for a moment of enlightenment

But what I find just leaves me dry and unsatisfied
The reality of giving in to temptation falls short of expectations

Cradle me now spontaneous host
The singer is again being drawn into temptation

I'll admit to my foul
The artist recognizes their own weakness in giving in to temptation

Find me on the coast
The singer acknowledges that they are still in danger of being lured in by the Sirens

I'll be biased by beauty
The singer is likely to make bad decisions based on blind trust in beauty

And highly esteemed asthetics
The singer is influenced by their perception of what is aesthetically pleasing

Blinded and bulged
The artist is unable to see the danger of following temptation

The watchful eye of the erie ethics
A reference to a higher morality that recognises the danger and futility of trusting in temptation

My degracing locus is the fading focus
The singer's attention is drawn away from what is truly important

Of the formidable and factical fracturing of my frames
The singer realizes that their internal decision-making process is broken, and results in bad choices

A roach to be squashed
The artist recognizes that they are vulnerable to being exploited

Or poached and gracefully hunted
The artist feels hunted, but also acknowledges the seductive power of their hunter

The outcame stays the same
The result of giving in to temptation is always the same: unsatisfactory

Yet the grace is what I wanted
Despite the danger, the singer is still drawn to the grace and seductive power of temptation
