Track Insight / Lyrics
Worn wooden grain against my skin
Salt-stung breath, the misty din
Seagulls crying out their shrill refrain
As the anchor digs into the silt and strain
In this harbor's eddy, I unwind
Scratch and scrape the rust from my mind
Tethered to the dock, yet long to roam
Yearning for the open, endless foam
But I stay put, my anchor's hold
Lassoed by memory, the stories untold
In this stillness, I find my calm
Anchored deep, against the ceaseless balm
The city's hum, a distant thrum
Echoes of a life left undone
Neon signs, a gaudy spectral glow
A mirage of freedom, beckoning to and fro
In this harbor's eddy, I unwind
Scratch and scrape the rust from my mind
Tethered to the dock, yet long to roam
Yearning for the open, endless foam
But I stay put, my anchor's hold
Lassoed by memory, the stories untold
In this stillness, I find my calm
Anchored deep, against the ceaseless balm
Perhaps someday, I'll break these chains
Cast off to chase life's unpredictable rains
Until then, I'll dream of what could be
Lost in the tides, wild and carefree
But I stay put, my anchor's hold
Lassoed by memory, the stories untold
In this stillness, I find my calm
Anchored deep, against the ceaseless balm
An enduring anchor, fixed in time
Anchored lines, the harbor's rhyme
I stay put, and let the stories flow
Tethered deep, in this harbor low
As the dock fades from view in the gray
I find solace in this fixed place, each day
Anchored by my choices, mementos left behind
In this harbor's stillness, I am at peace of mind.
