Anchors Lyrics

Lay me down
Bear my soul in green
Make no sound
You’ll hear what you believe

And I will sink my anchor
Into any of the seven seas
Just to make you proud of me
I will sink my anchor
Into any of the seven seas
Just to make sure that you’re proud of me

This nest of bones reveals my parchment heart
Ink well eyes have tried and failed to pull it all apart

And I will sink my anchor
Into any of the seven seas
Just to make you proud of me
I will sink my anchor
Into any of the seven seas
Just to make sure that you’re proud of me

All rise for the man with the fire
All will die for the man with the fire

And I will sink my anchor
Into any of the seven seas
Just to make you proud of me
And I will sink my anchor
Into any of the seven seas
Just to make you proud of me
I will sink my anchor
Into any of the seven seas
Just to make sure that you’re proud of me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
