Pearl Jam's poignant reflection on life's fragility and the profound connections we share with loved ones is deeply moving. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and vulnerability, symbolized by the recurring sirens, which represent looming danger or mortality. The narrator expresses gratitude for moments of safety and intimacy, fearing their eventual end. The song underscores the transient nature of life and relationships, emphasizing the importance of cherishing every moment. It speaks to the inevitability of change and loss, yet finds solace in love's enduring presence. Ultimately, it’s a meditation on appreciating life’s fleeting beauty amidst uncertainty and fear.
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 then reach across the bend
Just to know we're safe, I am a grateful man
The slightest bit of light and I can see you clear
Oh, had 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 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
Oh, it's a fragile thing, this life we lead
If I think too much, I can get over-
Whelmed 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 get over-
Whelmed 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
The fear goes away
