Song to the Siren
Siren's Lament: A Love Lost at Sea
Lyrics
Long afloat on shipless oceans
Feeling adrift in aimless, uncertain situations or emotions without direction.
I did all my best to smile
Attempting to maintain a positive facade or demeanor despite challenges.
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Until your captivating eyes and skilled touch attracted me to your world.
Drew me loving to your isle
Your allure pulled me affectionately towards your domain.
And you sang
Expressing the act of singing.
Sail to me, sail to me
Asking to be approached, to be embraced.
Let me enfold you
Inviting the listener into an embrace, to be welcomed.
Here I am, here I am
Presenting oneself, indicating readiness to connect.
Waiting to hold you
Eagerly anticipating holding the other person.
Did I dream, you dreamed about me?
Wondering if there's a mutual dream or connection between the two.
Were you here when I was full sail?
Asking if the other person reciprocated feelings at a different time.
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Metaphorically describing a damaged state of the speaker's emotions or vessel (relationship).
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
Feeling emotionally shattered and abandoned in the other's territory.
For you sing
Continuing to express through song.
Touch me not, touch me not
Resisting physical contact, asking for time.
Come back tomorrow
Delaying intimate interaction until another time.
Oh, my heart
Expressing emotional distress.
Oh, my heart shies from the sorrow
Describing the heart's aversion to pain and suffering.
Well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
Feeling perplexed and uncertain, akin to the innocence of a newborn.
I'm as riddled as the tide
Feeling as unpredictable and changing as the tides.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Contemplating whether to face challenges or succumb to them.
Or should I lie with death my bride?
Considering embracing the idea of death as a solution to pain.
Hear me sing
Continuing to express through song.
Swim to me, swim to me
Inviting the other person to come closer, to be embraced.
Let me enfold you
Reiterating the desire to envelop the other person.
Here I am, here I am
Presenting oneself again, waiting for an opportunity to connect.
Waiting to hold you
Eagerly anticipating holding the other person again.
