That Siren, Hope
Navigating the Sea of Desires: That Siren, Hope by Kris Angelis
Lyrics
Do you know where we're going?
Expressing uncertainty about the future and destination.
I've been sailing for days
Describing a prolonged journey at sea.
Tossing boulders in that rowdy sea
Symbolizing challenges and difficulties faced in life.
Longing for your gaze
Expressing a desire for attention and connection.
Like a minefield full of fireflies
Describing a situation filled with potential danger and allure.
Drawing me in when I should flee
Highlighting the temptation to engage in risky situations.
Are you ever truly satisfied?
Questioning the concept of complete satisfaction in life.
Would you really want to be?
Raising the question of whether true satisfaction is desirable.
Thought that shine was a lighthouse
Mistaking hope for a guiding light (lighthouse).
But it was That Siren, Hope
Revealing that the guiding force is the deceptive "Siren, Hope."
She sang me to sleep
Describing the soothing influence of Hope through singing.
She got me to dream
Emphasizing the power of hope in inspiring dreams.
Turns out her song was just a joke
Realizing that Hope's influence was misleading or insincere.
Fell to the ground and found our crowns in the dark
Experiencing a fall or setback and finding strength in the dark.
We hid in plain view
Choosing to hide despite being in plain sight.
We told secrets everyone could hear
Sharing secrets openly, possibly acknowledging vulnerability.
You're the siren and the muse
Identifying oneself as both a siren and a muse, embodying duality.
If you get closer see her hands are gnarled
Noticing the physical toll of time on Hope's deceptive appearance.
From centuries of spinning lace
Describing Hope's hands as weathered from a long history.
Came to the cliffs all in ecstasy
Depicting a moment of intense joy or passion at the cliffs.
And left with salt upon my face
Leaving a place marked by the residue of emotional experience.
Thought that shine was a lighthouse
Repeating the realization that Hope was mistaken for a lighthouse.
But it was That Siren, Hope
Reiterating the role of Hope in lulling the speaker into complacency.
She sang me to sleep
Recalling the comforting effect of Hope's singing leading to sleep.
She got me to dream
Acknowledging the inspirational nature of Hope's influence on dreams.
Turns out her song was just a joke
Realizing the deceptive nature of Hope's song.
I'm just a question who wants to be the answer
Expressing a desire to be the solution to a question.
A weary sailor who cannot read the stars
Describing oneself as a tired traveler unable to navigate life's challenges.
You keep singing and I'll be the dancer
Offering to complement Hope's singing with the speaker's own contribution.
Thought that shine was a lighthouse
Repeating the theme of mistaking Hope for a guiding light.
But it was That Siren, Hope
Reiterating the role of Hope in the speaker's journey and dreams.
She sang me to sleep
Recalling the soothing effect of Hope's singing leading to sleep.
She got me to dream
Acknowledging the inspirational nature of Hope's influence on dreams.
Turns out her song was just a joke
Realizing the deceptive nature of Hope's song.
