The great thing about music is it can mean whatever you want or need it to mean. Music and art is very personal to the person moved by it, and it's always open to interpretation. I believe most artists are aware of that and happy for it.
For me this song is about a man referring to his own mortality..sirens, the circus refers to life... the siren, the call of the inevitable end. Reaching out to touch his love beside him, taking solice in her love and presence.
We all feel this way as we reach a certain maturity in life, where we realise how fragile life is, and how pecious love is.
That's what this song means to me.
