Sirens
Seductive Whispers: Unveiling the Allure and Perils in Swingin' Utters' 'Sirens'
Lyrics
Anything of worth
Anything valuable or significant
Will come to destroy you
Will eventually lead to your downfall or harm
All of those desires
All those strong wants or longings
That tempt and excite you
That entice and arouse you
Won't listen to reason
Won't heed logic or rationale
All they ever said
Only advised to avoid alluring but dangerous situations
Was to steer clear of sirens
The attractiveness in their melody
The beauty in their song
Will bring suffering and harm
Will bring pain and poison
All intense emotion, lacking empathy
All passion, no compassion
Urge and strong desire without regard for others' suffering
Temptation and lust
Strong desire and sensual pleasure
Breed inside of me
Develop within me
Like live bait to killers
Similar to bait for murderers
They take their aim at me
They target me with their intentions
Oh, let it all fade away
Wishing for it all to disappear
Breathe, take it in
Take a breath, absorb it
Radiate
Exude or emit
I'll dive to the depths
I'll plunge into the depths
And drown for a taste of that
And suffer for a taste of that
Odd and sweet arcanum
Strange and delightful secret knowledge
To bathe in the warmth of that
To revel in the comfort of that
Just listen
Just pay attention
Can't you hear them?
Can't you perceive their call?
Temptation and lust
Strong desire and sensual pleasure
Breed inside of me
Develop within me
Like live bait to killers
Similar to bait for murderers
They take their aim at me
They target me with their intentions
Oh, let it all fade away
Wishing for it all to disappear
Breathe, take it in
Take a breath, absorb it
Radiate
Exude or emit
But don't listen
But don't pay attention
To the sirens
To the enticing yet perilous allure
