Anchors
Rescue Yourself: Unveiling Life's Tapestry in 'Anchors'
Lyrics
The disappointments we keep as souvenirs
The memories of letdowns that we keep as reminders
And the insults stuck within our ears
The hurtful words lingering in our minds
And the sleepless nights filled with fear
Nights of insomnia filled with anxiety
Oh, restless wolves eating the deer
A metaphorical portrayal of inner turmoil and self-destructive tendencies
And the regrets at the end of every year
The remorse felt at the conclusion of each passing year
And the wounds we anxiously engineer
The intentional creation of emotional wounds
And the boats that never leave the pier
Symbolizing opportunities and possibilities that remain unexplored
And the days thrown away for a career
Days sacrificed for a career, possibly reflecting misplaced priorities
But the children, the children I'd never get to know
Regret over not experiencing the joy of parenthood
And my creations, they would never get to grow
The unrealized potential of creative endeavors
And my woman, my woman would never let it go
Struggles in a romantic relationship with a persistent issue
But the villains, but the villains are waiting for me down below
A looming threat or personal demons waiting in the depths
Before you try to save the world maybe you could
An encouragement to prioritize self-healing before attempting to change the world
Maybe you could try to save yourself
An emphasis on self-care and personal well-being
Before you try to save the world maybe you could
A repetition of the importance of self-preservation
Maybe you could try to save yourself
Reinforcing the idea of focusing on one's own improvement first
And shine your light on what you like instead of what you despise
Advising to highlight positive aspects rather than dwelling on negativity
For a change, for a change
An appeal for a positive change in perspective
And the children, the children I'd never get to know
Reiteration of the lament over missed opportunities for parenthood
And my creations, they would never get to grow
Revisiting the unrealized potential of creative endeavors
And my woman, my woman would never let it go
Continued struggles in a romantic relationship
But the villains, but the villains are waiting for me down below
The persistent threat or challenges waiting beneath the surface
