While it uses the metaphor of a siren sinking ships and taking the sailors down with them, this song is about more than just flirting or being misled.
"Oh oh, you talk to me in siren song. Yeah, anyone would drown..."
Basically, she's singing as an observer of her own temptations and actions. A good analogy would be "The cat is out of the bag." By confronting her own desires towards this "sailor", she also confronts that no matter how wrong she thinks this sailor is for her, he's taking with him what she longs for the most. His admiration.
The best thing to do is ask yourself, "Just who is singing the song to whom?"
This helps put into light the fact that SHE is the one singing, yet finds such sadness in her loss doing what she is born to do. Sing the song of the siren.
The song really gives no solution to the dilemma, but they answer is for her to swim in a new direction. By confronting what she does to others through the power of her beauty and song.
The ultimate face-off of deceit. Instead of lying and sinking ships, learn to sing the truth and be responsible for feeling the pain of your own actions.
I guess the easy way out is to learn to forgive. Not the sailor, but herself.
Funny how a song can deceive the hidden answers it holds...
