Songfacts®:

  • Tom DeLonge was inspired to write this song by the ancient Greek myth of sea nymphs luring sailors on to rocks by their singing. He notes on their record label's website: "It's such a beautiful idea. So I wrote this song about a murderer, and the murderer is breaking into a house to take out a woman that he's obsessed with. But the idea was more about how the song is beautifully romantic, but it's an upbeat song. It sounds like an old Police song, which I think is the best way to describe it."
  • In Homer's Odyssey, Odysseus, in order to hear the sirens safely, tied himself to the mast and stuffed his crews' ears with beeswax. When they had passed out of earshot, Odysseus demonstrated with his eyebrows to be released.
