Chasing Sirens Lyrics

If you need to change your style sometimes
To please and satisfy
They'll call you a hypocrite
You're giving birth to all new trends
Visions they'll never comprehend
Because they're all so selfish

chorus
Everyone look at me
Chasing sirens
Demanding their attention
So selfish
Trying to discover what's wrong with my mind
So they started the upheaval
But you prompted the war
You're still a hypocrite
Snapping the sleepers into motion
So their systems will change
Right now you're giving up but let me show you

chorus

You like to be the center of attention, don't you
Under the spell of another phase
So pretentious
Plastic uninvited
Don't you find it strange
How they wear their egos on their sleeves
Until they see your face
Chorus
This day should last forever
Stuck on the merry go round
Keep spinning, never want to come down
So selfish

Shut up, penix. I was only being sarcastically unreasonably literal, you gullible loser.

I think this song is about someone who is extremely arrogant and brags to everyone. They are always proud of their work, to a very extreme degree.. "Snapping the sleepers into motion" = maybe they want to show people how great they are SO badly that they wake people up from sleep? I know my system would change and I'd give up... ;-D

No, I think this song it's about how people call you a fake and a hypocrite if you try to change your clothes, your hair and stuff like that. And that's because they are jealous and selfish. I think it'sd pretty clear.

actually i think its jay calling them fake.. hes calling them selfish for being attention whores, its a parody of the band image i believe.. or people who cut, or get tattoos, he states ego on their sleeves.. its mocking those who seek attention because their is something wrong in their mind that they can be this selfish and pathetic. "Plastic uninvited"

hes making fun of his own style how he must presume it to please and satisfy his fans also.

thats how i looked into it.

This song kind of makes me think of an attention whore in addition to an arrogant, selfish person..Pretty much what Dead said.

The song reminds me of how everyone used to run to the fence on the playground when a firetruck or police car went by....

I thought Emmelstone's second comment was pretty good... I laughed at it.

Anyway,

I always thought the sirens to which Mr. Gordon refers were the beautiful womantypes who lure sailers to their death; it would be a good metaphor. Although the sirens could very well mean that someone is willingly following things like police/ambulance/tornado/fire sirens, and of course finding trouble every time.

This is about pretentious barbie dolls such as Paris Hilton who think they reinvent the wheel everytime they start a new fashion trend...they think their shit doesn't stink and that we should all bow down to them cause they're so original, when really all those barbie doll, models and screen sirens are all the same..blonde, bimbos with plastic parts who have money but zero in terms of intelligence..another great example is that anorexic Nichole Ricci... You like to be the center of attention, don't you Under the spell of another phase So pretentious Plastic uninvited Don't you find it strange How they wear their egos on their sleeves Until they see your face

She's always doing stuff to grab our attention..for example starvin herself, getting a DUI, drugs and such.

Oh and I can't not mention Lindsay Lohan....she complains why the media is always invading her life and paying so much attention to her, when she does all this crap to draw attention to her, liife sleeping with every women chaser in hollywood including all of Paris' exes. I mean they always do things to signal sirens, drawing attention to themselves and then complain that the media won't leave them alone...they are hypocrites - hence this line (But you prompted the war You're still a hypocrite)

they prompt the swarm of the media, then they are stuck in the media war...if they didn't keep feeding the media so much maybe they'd leave them alone more.

exactly, its a great song.
