Selected Lyrics

The vast majority of Sylvian lyrics can be found at davidsylvian.net and slowfire. I'll generally only transcribe newly released songs that aren't up elsewhere (or ones that contain interesting background samples or vocals) and live versions of unreleased songs.

Selected Lyric

Siren Song

Track #01 - The Opiates // By: Thomas Feiner & Anywhen

On the last day of summer the sun shines bright
And we’re walking through the woods
What if love is the greatest damn liar of all
Would you trust me with your life?

On the last day of summer the clouds are white
And I’m sitting by the lake
And she’s singing my name, she’s beckoning me
If i just lose myself now
For one day

I want to drown in her precious arms
I want to listen to the siren songs
She got me down into the water
And she got me holding on…

She’s floating oh so peacefully
As I’m watching from below
In the bluest water I ever saw
The palest body to be striped
By this sun

I want to drown in her precious arms
I want to listen to the siren songs
She got me down into the water
And she got me holding on…

So let me drown in those precious arms
With all my untouchabilities washed away
Let me for once be lost for a reason
Let it be lost, for once
