Pearl Jam - Sirens Lyrics






Hear the sirens.
Hear the sirens.

Hear the sirens,
Hear the circus so profound.
I hear the sirens
More and more in this here town

Let me catch my breath to breathe
And reach across the bed
Just to know we're safe
I am a grateful man

The slightest bit of light
And I can see you clear
Oh, have to take your hand
And feel your breath for fear this someday will be over

I pull you close, so much to lose knowing that nothing lasts forever
I didn't care before you were here.
I danced in laughter with the ever after
But all things change
Let this remain

Hear the sirens
Covering distance in the night.
The sound echoing closer.
Will they come for me next time?

For every choice, mistake I've made, it's not my plan
To send you in the arms of another man
And if you choose to stay I'll wait, I'll understand

Oh, it's a fragile thing
This life we lead
If I think too much I can get overwhelmed by the grace
By which we live our lives with death over our shoulders

Want you to know that should I go
I always loved you, held you high above, too.
I study your face, and the fear goes away.

It's a fragile thing, this life we lead.
If I think too much I can get overwhelmed by the grace
By which we live our lives with death over our shoulders

Want you to know that should I go,
I always loved you, held you high above, too.
I study your face, and the fear goes away,
The fear goes away,
The fear goes away,
The fear goes away.

Ah-ah, oh-oh
Ah-ah, oh-oh

    I remember the day this album came out. It was a turning point in my life. I went to visit some buddies at there college to listen to the album together. We got wasted and had a great time jamming to one of our favorite bands new shit. It's a stereotypical story. This song spoke to me as I had gone through a break up with a girl and I understood the "sirens" metaphor as the beautiful feminine but dangerous creature from mythology along with the lyrical themes of love and failing in a relationship. At this point I was starting to move on, I'd soon be 21 and able to go to bars and all that stuff. My bday is Oct 20th, and the album arrived on the 15th, 2013. So that night I was driving home, terribly drunk. I was listening to the album among other things. It was then I heard real sirens. Police from two counties approached me front and rear. Someone, rightfully, called them after seeing my erratic driving. I thought I was invincible, infallible, and wouldn't get caught. Looking back, I'm glad I did. It took me a while to come back to this album. The level of lyrical synchronicity throughout it is wild and i would need a book to explain. Ultimately I take Sirens, Mind Your Manners, Infallible, Pendulum, Future Days, all to be messages of caution. Warnings that encompass an individual to societal scale.

  18. B.... D....

    My God what a beautiful song by one of the best bands ever!! Sometimes i cant even make it threw it!! Love ya PJ

    Dezembro de 2019 ouvindo esse clássico

  40. M.... ....

    this brings me some bad but awesome deep feelings ... :`/

  41. R.... R....

    His voice is even better

  42. M.... S....

    A voz desse homem fica mais bonita cada dia que passa. ❤️

  43. S.... G....

    Didn't appreciate enough this wonderful piece of art when it was released.
    It speaks to my soul now that I'm slighltly older. A masterpiece.

    S.... G....

    Was thinking the exact same thing...

    S.... G....

    Yeah, it's been a long road. To think I bought Vitalogy when I was 21 and how that sped up style, which I actually still love, was appropriate for me then, this, as an older man, resonates with me now more in it's soulfullness. That's why music is so powerful. It's part of everybody's individual book.

    S.... G....

    @Just a number Could'nt have said it better... This song is very relevant to me at this point in my life. Great song...

  44. N.... S....

    😍😍😍

  45. m.... ....

    His voice hasn't changed since I first started listening to PJ when Alive was a hit <3 Some things are just so good they never dull

    m.... ....

  46. S.... S....

    The greatest rock band of all time

  47. M.... W....

    first 3s and I was immediately thinking about ACDC Back in Black, what an opening

  48. J.... B....

    This song saved my marriage

    J.... B....

    This song provoked mine.

  49. J.... A....

    Hear the sirens, hear the sirens
    Hear the sirens, hear the circus all go found
    I hear the sirens more and more in this here town
    Let me catch my breath to breathe then reach across the bend

    Just to know we're safe, I am a grateful man
    This light is pit, alive and I can see you clear
    I could take your hand, and feel your breath
    For feel that someday this will be over
    I pull you close, so much to lose

    Knowing that, nothing lasts forever
    I didn't care, before you were here
    A distant laughter, with the ever after
    But, all things change, let this remain

    Hear the sirens covering distance in the night
    The sound, echoing closer, will they come for me, next time?

    For every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan
    To send you in the arms of another man
    And if you choose to stay, I'll wait, I'll understand

    It's a fragile thing, this life we lead,
    If I think too much, I can't get over
    When by the grace, by which we live
    Our lives with death over our shoulders
    Want you to know, that should I go,
    I always loved you, held you high above too
    I studied your face, the fear goes away

    It's a fragile thing, this life we lead,
    If I think too much, I can't get over
    When by the grace, by which we live
    Our lives with death over our shoulders
    Want you to know, that should I go,
    I always loved you, held you high above too
    I studied your face, the fear goes away,
    The fear goes away, the fear goes away

  50. A.... ....

    Eddie Vedder is one of the world's most beautiful creations.

    A.... ....

    He and his voice certainly are

  51. l.... ....

    I wish there was more music like this today. Real and authentic. Music wise, I was definitely born in the wrong generation. I’m 15 btw. I hope to see Pearl Jam live one day <3

    l.... ....

    You're right not alot of real music out there today.

  52. P.... A....

    Eu achava que Black era pesada, me enganei, Pearl Jam não faz musica, eles fazem algo acima disso

    P.... A....

    Black me faz chorar as vezes, musica linda demais kkkk uma mais pesada que a outra, Eddie canta com emoção e libera todo seu sentimento, e isso é muito visível.

  53. D.... ....

    My man was hit by a car, 10 days after seen PJ lived. He was in a coma for 2 months, life its quite hard now ( 6 years later). I feel so related to thing song.

  54. O.... M....

  55. A.... l....

    Perfect!!!!! Love Pearl Jam!!!

  56. K.... K....

    Eu curto o Pearl Jan desde o início da década de noventa e essa banda foi trilha sonora de muitas festas que participei, assim como dos meus inúmeros acampamentos -fossem em praia ou montanhas-... Só posso dizer que hoje é doloroso saber que essa juventude não faz questão de conhecer a arte e o Rock'Roll verdadadeiro... Lamentável.

  80. O.... R....

    y llego un día la madurez, se acabaron los cabellos largos y las bermudas con botas, el sonido cambio, pero el espiritu de una gran banda sigue intacto, yo al igual deje las parrandas y termine vistiendo de traje y zapatos, pero mi alma sigue igual de rebelde y espera un dia colgar la corbata y dejar crecer el cabello para recordar viejos tiempos y las bermudas claro.
