Firstly I'd just like to say that this song is actually titled "Song to the Siren" not "Song of the Siren", and it was also written and originally sung by Tim Buckley.
With that out of the way, I'd just like to say that this tribute to the song is beautifully and magnificently arranged and composed. It is so beautiful and lucious and just absolutely haunting and I personally believe it is better than Tim Buckley's version.
This song is being sung TO a siren (hence the title) and it's basically about a man who has been tempted by a woman who is rejecting the man now that he is hers. The references to the boat being broken and whatnot may be about how this man has thrown everything in his life away for this woman. In the end of the song the man is just in love with the woman and being refused and is sort of like "what do I do now?"
