SIRENS
SIRENS: Echoes of Fear and Trust in Ally Ahern's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
I don't want you to look at me naked
I don't want you to see my vulnerabilities or flaws.
Cause I'm already covered in fingerprints and not by choice
My past experiences have left marks on me involuntarily.
It's not that I don't want you to hold me
I desire your touch, but it triggers memories of a traumatic voice.
But darling when you do I can only hear his scary voice
When you embrace me, I am reminded of a frightening voice from the past.
So please don't get too close to me
I'm afraid of getting emotionally close to you.
I don't wanna have to explain to you
I hesitate to explain the reasons behind my emotional barriers.
Why every time you touch me
Touching me brings back unsettling memories.
I hear sirens
Intense emotional reactions, possibly fear or anxiety, are triggered by physical contact.
When we kiss the light is blinding
Kissing is overwhelming, and the brightness symbolizes emotional intensity.
It's the reason I been hiding
My avoidance is a result of past experiences influencing my current behavior.
Cos I learned it young, you can't trust no one, and that's why I run, when I hear sirens
Early life lessons taught me not to trust anyone, leading to a tendency to run away from emotional connections.
when I hear sirens
Reiteration of the emotional impact of sirens and the instinct to escape.
Pulling at the sleeves on my sweatshirt
Expressing a desire to be free but struggling with it.
Cause really I just wish I could let you take it off
Despite the wish for intimacy, there is hesitation and difficulty in opening up.
I can feel myself falling
Feeling the pull of emotions but unable to escape intrusive thoughts.
But I can't drown out the noises
The external noises, possibly traumatic memories, are overpowering.
So please don't get too close to me
Resisting closeness due to an unpreparedness to confront and explain past traumas.
I'm not ready yet to explain to you
Not ready to articulate the reasons behind emotional barriers.
Why every time you touch me
Physical touch evokes the distressing memories represented by sirens.
I hear sirens
The intensity of emotions is overwhelming during a kiss.
When we kiss the light is blinding
Hiding from emotional vulnerability due to early lessons about trust.
It's the reason I been hiding
Reiteration of the learned behavior to escape when sirens are heard.
Cos I learned it young, you can't trust no one, and that's why I run, when I hear sirens
Highlighting the impact of early lessons on trust and the tendency to run from emotional connections.
when I hear sirens
Repeating the emotional response to sirens and the instinct to escape.
I don't want to let you down
Expressing concern about disappointing the other person.
But I can't let you in right now
Unable to open up emotionally at the moment.
Please don't take it personal
Requesting understanding for the emotional distance.
I hear sirens
Reiteration of the emotional impact of sirens during intimate moments.
When we kiss the light is blinding
Intense emotions are concealed behind a facade of hiding.
How I've been hiding
The ongoing struggle to conceal vulnerabilities and emotional pain.
I learned it young, you can't trust no one, and that's why I run
Reflecting on the early lesson of mistrust and the impulse to run from emotional connections.
I learned it young, you can't trust no one, and that's why I run, when I hear sirens
Reiteration of the learned behavior to escape when sirens are heard.
