Siren sounds

Tate McRae

Lyrics

[Verse] I wanna kiss you when I hate you and then leave instead I wanna kill you, then I call you and say, "Get in my bed" Been a full year now and we both know that it's bound to end But kinda like just how hot it gets
[Pre-Chorus] So stay for the night It'll bury the crime Tell me a lie It'll buy us some time
[Chorus] Oh, one more minute, it all burns down They're all telling us to get out But you and I, and I We'd keep living in a burning house Might be crazy to stick this out But we can't see all the flames around You and I, and I We're just dancing to the siren sounds
[Verse] I can get real cold when I need you, and you don't show up You can gеt cocky when you want me, and I say, "I'm done" Been a full yеar now, and we both know it's not good for us But we both love the smoke in our lungs
[Pre-Chorus] So stay for the night It'll bury the crime Tell me a lie It'll buy us some time
[Chorus] Oh, one more minute, it all burns down They're all telling us to get out But you and I, and I We'd keep living in a burning house Might be crazy to stick this out But we can't see all the flames around You and I, and I We're just dancing to the siren sounds
[Post-Chorus] Siren sounds Siren sounds
[Bridge] Siren, siren (Ooh) Siren sounds
[Chorus] Oh, one more minute, it all burns down They're all telling us to get out But you and I, and I We'd keep living in a burning house Might be crazy to stick this out But we can't see all the flames around You and I, and I We're just dancing to the siren sounds

About The Track

"Siren sounds" is a dark, moody pop track from Tate McRae that delves into the chaotic nature of a toxic romance. Unlike a traditional breakup song, this track highlights the moment of conscious decision-making where two people choose to stay together despite knowing it will end in disaster. The imagery of fire, smoke, and sirens creates a vivid picture of impending doom that is ignored for the sake of passion.

Meaning

The Burning House

The central metaphor of the song. The "burning house" represents the relationship. It's dangerous, destructive, and obvious to everyone on the outside, yet the couple chooses to stay inside.

Ignoring the Sirens

Sirens typically signal a warning to evacuate. In this context, "dancing to the siren sounds" means they are treating the warning signs as background music for their romance, rather than a reason to leave.

Addiction to Chaos

"We both love the smoke in our lungs" suggests that the pain and toxicity have become addictive. The smoke is harmful, but it's a feeling they've grown to crave over the "full year" they've been together.
