When watching Teal Van Dyke perform "Siren's Song", the first thing I noticed was her presence. She didn't use excessive hand motions, but you could see in her face and hear in her voice the true meaning of the poem. Just by the way she stood, she commanded the stage with her physical presence. Her voice and articulation was spot on. Emphasizing the word in the sentence that should be noticed and playing on the satirical tone of the poem made it wonderful to watch.
My interpretation of this poem's meaning is that people want to be able to help others, even if it harms them. They think that they are so special, but truly they are just being lured into harms way. People will say anything to make you believe them and help them, when they don't truly mean it. Everyone wants to be special and noticed, enough that they will die for it.
