about
Siren is the second track from Chicago-based, songwriter and producer duo Louis the XVII and Jando. They toiled over the track like kids in a turn-of-the-century textile mill for over a year, and they hope you dig it's sweet vibes.
lyrics
I used to be the breath that lit your cigarettes
I used to know the way you lied
I used to watch your lips light love on sinking ships
And like Odysseus I cried
Siren, Siren
You won't take my soul
It's already been sold
Demon, Demon
For this time I'm free
Until the fire makes me a
Phoenix, born out of the flame
A muse without a name
Gives me a voice again
Phoenix, I've learned with every scar
A different way to carve
Myself into your heart
I wanna see your eyes
Wide open, petrified
While I slip underneath your skin
Go on and cast your spell
If I go straight to hell
Then you still won't know where I've been
Siren, Siren
Can't take anymore
I'm heading for the shore
Demon, Demon
It's time that I broke free
and let the fire make me a
Phoenix, born out of the flame
A muse without a name
Gives me a voice again
Phoenix, I've learned with every scar
A different way to carve
Myself into your heart
Set a course
Before it's too late
it's too late
it's too late
To get away
from these forces I can't tame
I can't tame
I can't tame
Siren you found me
I let your song surround me
A wolf among the sheep
By the time I had realized
That I was being hypnotized
It didn't mean a thing
I was already a
Phoenix, born out of the flame
A muse without a name
Gives me a voice again
Phoenix, I've learned with every scar
A different way to carve
Myself into your heart
Phoenix, born out of the flame
A muse without a name
Gives me a voice again
Phoenix, I've learned with every scar
A different way to carve
Myself into your heart
