Anchors
Anchors of Despair: St. October's Poignant Tale of Struggle and Freedom
Lyrics
Stuck
Feeling trapped or stagnant
In a futile attempt
Trying unsuccessfully
To escape this fate
Struggling against an inevitable destiny
Condemned at last my time has gone
Acceptance of one's fate, acknowledging the passage of time
Clawing these vessels chains
Fighting against restrictive circumstances
Desperate hope begins to fade
Diminishing hope in a desperate situation
Know not where to
Feeling lost and uncertain
Place my faith
Uncertainty in where to place trust or belief
Lost
Being without direction or purpose
In this inconceivable death
Facing an incomprehensible form of death
Gasping grasping to each breath
Struggling to hold onto life
Sinking in this sea of black
Descending into darkness and despair
Chains bearing my fate
Feeling chained to a predetermined destiny
Desperate hope begins to wain
Hope diminishing further
The light I see
Seeing a glimmer of light or hope
Is this the end
Contemplating if this is the end of the journey
Anchors
Introduction of the metaphor "Anchors"
Are holding us down
Feeling weighed down by something
New shores burn in the distance
New opportunities or possibilities are being destroyed
New shores burn bright
The destruction of potential bright futures

Are holding us down

New shores burn in the distance

For
[Transition to a new perspective]
Far too long we have
[Reflecting on a prolonged search]
We have searched a sea of nothing
Feeling isolated and abandoned
All alone to rot
Being left alone to deteriorate
Fate
Fate becoming a prominent force
Beckons me I will
Facing destiny with determination
Drowning hatred envelopes me
Being consumed by intense negativity
I will be free
Expressing a desire for freedom
I will be free
A repeated declaration of freedom
Anchors are holding us down
[Reiteration of being held back]
New shores burn in the distance
[Reiteration of lost opportunities]
