Let the Sirens Rest Lyrics

you're feeling caught in a trap
worrying all of the day
always a storm building up
for rain
you want to live in the sun
you're moving to a new state
through mountains on the ocean
highway
just droning open road
just driving you away
just rest your eyes
it's time to let the sirens die off
time to let the sirens rest your eyes
and your head opens up
when you finally say
you won't go back where you came from
no way
from poison fear erosion
just washing you away
from loud to quiet
rest your eyes
it's time to let the sirens die off
time to let the sirens rest your eyes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

No one has commented yet?! That's amazing since this song is just that. I had a hard time getting a hold of a copy but it was worth it. I think it means you can never really run away from your problems or your past. There are always memories and thoughts in your mind that are impossible to get rid of. Acceptance is key - Let the Sirens Rest.
