sirens
snoopy and friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you hear the hot wind blow,
It comes at the same time,
Every year.
And we stay out half the night to hide,
From sleeping in our homes,
Its the north wind.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar,
Once more.
I lay back in the room with dark red curtains,
Wake up to the trucks outside my door,
Short of sleep.
And the sky tonight it's a deadly one,
It hardly lets us breath,
Like Ash Wednesday.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar,
Once more.
And when it's hot I like the fast songs,
When I'm tired and I can't sleep,
Play them slow, way down.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar,
Once more.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar.
Here come the sirens, hear them roar,
Once more.
The song "Sirens" by Snoopy and Friends portrays a sense of discomfort and unease that the band experiences during summertime due to the north winds blowing in hot winds that makes it impossible for them to sleep. They stay out half the night to elude the helpless sleep at home. The lyrics "Here come the sirens, hear them roar" may also be interpreted as a reference to the emergency sirens that may arise from the overwhelming heat of the north winds, potentially leading to dangerous situations. The band appears to be struggling to breathe and move around as the summer heat engulfs the town, and even the night sky appears oppressive and suffocating.
The second verse portrays a rather bleak picture with graphic descriptions of the trucks outside the singer's room indicating a certain level of disturbance and an unwelcoming ambiance. The song chorus, "Here come the sirens, hear them roar, once more" may be viewed as a representation of the helplessness and despair that comes with dealing with the unending cycles of summer and the suffering that comes with it. However, the band still finds relief in music, with the lyrics "When it's hot, I like the fast songs, when I'm tired, and I can't sleep, play them slow, way down," amplifying the proof that music acts as an escape from the discomforts of daily life.
