Sirens Of The Sea

Above & Beyond's 'Sirens Of The Sea' is a mesmerizing journey into the depths of the ocean, both literally and metaphorically. The song invites listeners to follow the call of the sea, symbolizing a departure from the mundane and a dive into the unknown. The repeated invitation to 'follow me' and 'take my hand' suggests a guiding presence, perhaps a siren, leading the way to a place of purity and tranquility, represented by 'the purest sand' and the serene sea.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an underwater world, 'out beyond the water's edge' and 'far out past the coral bench,' where the 'diamond dancing lights' create a magical atmosphere. This imagery evokes a sense of wonder and escape, as if the sea is a sanctuary from the chaos of the world above. The mention of 'silence sleeping in the glow' and 'drifting down into the endless night' further emphasizes the peaceful and almost otherworldly nature of this underwater realm.

The song also explores themes of freedom and release. By 'leaving reason far behind,' the lyrics suggest a liberation from the constraints of logic and societal expectations. The idea that 'nothing here is cruel or kind' implies a neutral, almost utopian space where one can simply exist. The desire to 'set me free' and the transformation into 'sirens of the sea' symbolize a complete immersion into this new, unbounded existence. The repeated line 'I cannot resist your call' underscores the irresistible allure of this journey, capturing the listener's imagination and inviting them to lose themselves in the enchanting call of the ocean.
