Song of The Siren
Enigmatic Yearning: The Siren's Call
Lyrics
Long afloat on shipless oceans
Being adrift on shipless oceans, a metaphor for feeling lost and directionless in life.
I did all my best to smile
Attempting to maintain a positive facade, despite inner struggles and challenges.
While your swimming eyes and fingers
Observing the emotional expressions of the other person through their eyes and gestures.
Bid me loving to your isle
Receiving an invitation or plea for love and connection to their personal space or "isle."
And you sang
The other person singing a call to action, urging the speaker to come closer.
Sail to me
Repeating the call to sail and be embraced, emphasizing the desire for closeness.
Sail to me, let me enfold you
-Here I am
The speaker expressing readiness and eagerness to hold the other person, waiting for them.
Here I am
-Waiting to hold you
-Did I dream you dreamed about me
Questioning whether the other person has dreams or thoughts about the speaker, especially during challenging times.
Were you here when I was forsaken
-Now my foolish boat is leaning
The speaker's vulnerability, comparing their emotional state to a boat in rocky waters, still desiring love.
Bid me love though, on the rocks
-And you sing
The other person's reluctance or hesitation, asking to be left alone for the moment due to heartache.
'Touch me not
-Touch me not, come back tomorrow
-O my heart, o my heart, shies from the sorrow
Expressing a guarded heart, avoiding sorrow and emotional pain.
Well, I'm puzzled as the newborn child
The speaker's inner turmoil, contemplating whether to face challenges head-on or succumb to a metaphorical death.
I'm as riddled as the tide
-Should I stand 'neath the breakers
-Or should I lie with death my bride?
-And you said
Reversal of roles, with the other person now urging the speaker to come closer, reciprocating the desire for connection.
Swim to me, swim to me let me enfold you
-Here I am, here I am
-Waiting to hold you
Reiterating the willingness to wait and embrace the other person when they are ready.
