about

Anchors contains some of Alex’s greatest revelations while dealing with his greatest demons and fears. As he returns to his home, and to his crumbling family and the absurd life that has become of it, he then decides to remove his burden by running away from his family and other remaining individuals that he has been carrying with him and so deeply loathes.

Anchors is an explosion of emotions and is packed with peaks and drops.
Throughout the first half of this song, there are two main musical ideas. The first idea is anchored by a guitar riff that comes in and out dynamically to reflect the hidden roots that bother Alex, throughout his journey. The second and main theme in the song is a five note melody that is played throughout the song in different variations and slowly steps farther from the starting point.
At the second half, the riff reaches a peak, breaks apart while exploding to a psychotic bridge that repeats ragingly and unbalanced.
Once the storm calms, and the song remains unchained to the riff, the song lifts up to an upbeat African Drum & Bass groove that deep down in its core, contains and accepts the DNA of the initial riff.

lyrics

Anchors

Considered to be engraved in stone,
Well this is where my thoughts stomp
the web has exposed,
collided, our lives had collided into a storm.
Divided in two, then three and four, I’m winding.
Divided, pa ba pa. Tumbling down like rocks till,
Divided, then piece by piece I hit the surface
Divided, scattered into 10,000 things.
sweet as the promise of a mother,
oh this is where my thoughts start to sheever,
alarm, wisdom alerts...
startles the stomach with every step
cleanses with spit swallowed till, I am sick
within the mist.
sowing the dots,
embracing what I’ve chosen to numb until now.
I cross.. further, no more.. anchors X4
them dimmed shards creep on faces,
revealing rivers flowing deep,
I cross on to complete the image,
transcending to consume the challenge,
and just before I start to reiterate my intuition.
on and on, fear circling and sending me to start.
acceptance is the only way out.
