Siren's song Chapter 1
Advertisement
I was right in front of the stage. It was my turn next. I knew it and yet I couldn't help but feel a bit thrilled. The stage was set and it was all mine. That's how it been for more than a year now. I was a Siren and it wasn't unusal for me to sing. I had to do it! It just felt natural to sing here and there.
Still being able to sing in front of soo many people was something I never imagined. I thought I would be dead ever after my parents basically disowned me and threw me out on the streets to fend for myself. However I knew they were not my parents. They never cared for me.
I can hear the masses screaming for me!
This feeling....
I have to give them the show they want!
I will sing my Siren's song so that everyone can hear it!
Spread it over the continent and enjoy it.
There was one thing about Siren's song. We, Sirens, could manipulate the emotions of a being when we sang. That was how the myth came to life. Siren's never were cruel. We just have a desire to sing and if we find sailers that are drunk, they usually feel depressed and join us in the sea. Never did we lure them.
However I found a way to make my audiance feel happiness and pleasure while I was singing. I never knew I had the controll over it until one day a produce found me basically singing on the street for some money.
Now here I was on the backstage of a really big stadium. Nothing could stop me!
The moment I was called out, I immediately went out on the stage and started to sing. I loved doing this. It made me feel happy and it was something in my DNA that made me sing. I could never keep quiet.

Think you're so much cooler than me
With your fancy carsAnd your luxuriesTinted windows on your limousineRide the high horse vibesLooking down on me
I was out on the stage as I sang and concentrated on the happiness I felt. It was the same feeling I gave my audiance. My own emotions were the key on making someone feel the same emotion. This was how I could manipulate emotions to some extend but I could never make them do something they didn't want. These songs were just enhancing feelings nothing more and nothing less.
They are hyped!
I can feel it!
They want to hear me!
And I want to bring it to them!
Going from one end to the other, I did the coreography they drilled into me before the stage and sang as loud as I could.
Who died and made you king
NobodyKeeping sycophants forCompanyKnock on your doorWho's it gonna beCrashed your partyI'm not sorry
It had to get out of my system. The song was embedded into me. I felt it. I felt the need for it. I had to get rid of it.
Louder!
I can do it!
I will get this out!
I will be me!
I am a SIREN!
Not fighting back my original, my tunes became softer and more like a lullaby for emotions. It was now that my siren genes kicked in and it was also only now that the people started getting more hyped. I could feel it. The stadium was vibrating.
I'm not
I'm not sorryI'm notI'm not sorryI'm notI'm not sorryCrashed your partyI'm not sorry
Never did I feel any better than being on a stage. It was a whole other feeling being on a stage and singing out on the streets. The reason for that was quiet simple.
As a siren, I was feeding off their emotions too. My songs were not only making them feel more but also made me feel different. It was hard to describe as it was a mixture of every emotions as well as a feeling of being full. If I had to describe it then I would say that I was stealing their energy from them.

Come on!
Louder!
Let me hear your screams!
Sing with me!
Enjoy it!
The masses were out of their minds.
Big surprise you're not welcoming
Cause your cliques got cliquesAnd they don't pick meNo worries I don't want to beA part of your A teamI came to make a scene cause
I could see the people holding these glowy sticks in the air as they started vibing to my song. It was something else. Being one with the masses was not the same than being on the stage and seeing it.
All these people looked at me and they looked like the oceaon at a full moons night to me. The reflection and the waves were something I could never forget and these neon lights and the waving of the poeple reminded me of that.
Who died and made you king

Eventho I never returned to the oceans side, I was still connected to it. For example, I was a great swimmer but I didn't had scales or a mermaid taile. I was just a Siren. My apperance was as human as anyone can be. There was really nothing special to me other than my voice.
Still I was drawn to the ocean to sing my songs there.
I'm not
I'm not sorryI'm notI'm not sorryI'm notI'm not sorryCrashed your partyI'm not sorry
I never knew why but the ocean, the sea or even a small lake was actually sothing and calming to me. I loved being around water too much. You might want to say that I was born in the sea but it's not true. I was born on the land like anyone else.
There was really no difference between a Siren and a human. The reason for that was because we moved to land eons ago and evolved and with the evolution we lost everything that connected us to the water. All that was left was this feeling of being connected to it.
I didn't come here so we could be friеnds
Your BFFI couldn't care less aboutYour opinion of meBеcause trulyIt's none of my business what you thinkI just wanted to ruin your nightAnd kill the vibeMission accomplished tightKill-joys am I rightCrashed your partyI'm not sorry
I was at the end of my song. It was soon that my act would be done and it was soon that I would go back to my own little room to get rid of the make-up and the dress up.
Tonight was quite the night!
The masses!
The hypes!
This energy in the air!
This is something else!
I ... I feel soo alive!
Seeing as I was about to end, I gave it my all one last time putting everything I had in my voice and made the audiance go crazy one last time.
I'm not
I'm not sorryI'm notI'm not sorryI'm notI'm not sorry
Not soon after it ended, I looked at the people and could hear their screams. It was the first time that I really listened in to what they were screaming. Up until now I was in the zone and masked everything away so I could give them my best.
It was after all only thanks to them that I was still alive. If the producer never found me, who knows how I would have ended up.... I might have even be dead by now.
