Lyrics Sirens - Commentary - Tom Odell

Tear me down
"I've lived in London for a while now,
and one fo the things about living in a city,
I love living in a city,
but oone of the things that come with it is that you lay awake every night and you listen to sirens ringing out,
and there's just something that's particularly in the East End of London,
is just permanent, and it sort of becomes a part of your subconcsiousness,
and you don't notice them and they don't wake you up.
It's just about the fact that each one of those sirens represents something bad happened,
you never think of it, it's like a cry,
an individual cry for help."
-Tom Odell
