This song could be alluding to a part of The Odyssey where Odysseus and his men encounter Sirens. ‘Sirens’ are mystical creatures that lure men to their deaths.
[Verse 1]
Why came disaster, I see your face
Under the laughter, you stow away
Come down, come down, come out and play
Biting the nails of catastrophe
When didn't your sails come and dance with me
Come down, come down, we're lost at sea
[Chorus]
All I want is perfect timing
All I got was silver lining
I can't stop, these tides from rising
So I'm coming back for you
Coming back for you
[Breakdown]
[Verse 2]
So sad this fight in your masquerade
You do the crime and I'll take the blame
Come now, come now, the sirens say
I see the front shore from far away
Colours bleed, colours bleed, never stay the same
How can I know, this way you will go
[Chorus]
All I want is perfect timing
All I got was silver lining
I can't stop, these tides from rising
So I'm coming back for you
Coming back for you
All I want is perfect timing
All I got was silver lining
I can't stop, these tides from rising
So I'm coming back for you
Coming back for you, oh
[Breakdown]
