The music video for "Sirens" premiered on Lloyd's Vevo channel on 29 April 2014 and was directed by Darren Craig. Daily Mail's Sarah Bull described the music video: "'Sirens' kicks off with Cher lighting a cigarette, standing in the kitchen of her home while a group of men, including her partner, sit at the kitchen table with a bag full of drugs, discussing what to do with it. Refusing to listen to the men ponder their future, Cher instead puts out her cigarette and goes to check on her young daughter, who is soundly asleep in bed. Lyrics for the highly emotive track include, 'I'm tired, I'm growing older, I'm getting weaker every day,' and the main plot of the video is interspersed with shots of Cher crying and screaming as she attempts to cope with her situation. The video takes an ominous turn when Cher hears sirens and sees flashing lights outside the house as DEA agents prepare to make a bust. However, as the agents break down the door and burst into the property, Cher decides to protect her man, and takes the bag of drugs outside, before putting it in a barrel and setting it alight. The video comes to an end with a shot of Cher sitting on the floor cuddling her little girl." In the "Behind the Scenes" footage, Lloyd reveals that the story of the video is inspired by a similar event from her childhood, and that the young daughter in the video represents herself at a younger age.
FBI agents are about to raid Cher Lloyd's house where her husband is playing poker with his mafioso friends. The sirens alert Cher who manages to burn evidence to protect her partner, and run away with her daughter. Her husband is left behind.
The chorus introduces the concept of finding solace and respite in the presence of someone else. The shallow water and the sun shining represents a safe, comforting space where they can temporarily escape from the weight they carry. It suggests a desire for emotional support and the longing for a place where they can find peace. The sirens calling in the chorus further adds to the idea of longing for escape, possibly symbolizing a temptation to leave their current situation.

She has a boyfriend but she has too take care of him and it's stressful. She "carries the weight of you".
When you think about it sirens could be referring to the mermaid creatures from mythology obviously a metaphor. "Until the sirens calling" would mean before he finds someone to always take care of him and they would call for him.
"Lay down in the shallow water" means that she wants to spend time with him before sirens call. She wants to have good memory's with him.
