First off, thanks for all of you who have taken the time to type out these lyrics; as I understand, there are no "hard copies" of his two albums?
I have been loving following this storyline; and I keep saying to my husband "I can't wait for the third one!!! I need to know how it ends!!!"
That said, this particular song totally drew me in. I heard it exactly as Jhurtado . At first I also heard it as the father of these men, the two brothers, and feeling angst over not doing anything to protect our protagonist. But upon closer listening I rethought it. He's talking to his brother... even when he says "Your brother's unfaithful wife" But this, I think, suggests the distance he has from his brother at this point; he doesn't say "my wife". To me, he's removed himself, psychologically, out of the equation.
But yes, definitely the anchor, drowning, suicide.
Two questions, if anyone has any ideas:
1) what does the title of this song mean???
2) What does he mean by choose to "stay or stay"? Stay alive; stay in the relationship; stay as in do nothing (like "stay your hand")
The title is probably just about how his fingers have gone numb, the circulation's been cut, by the rope he's tied around his wrists.

I think by "stay or stay" he means either STAY with the ocean (with the anchor and sink to the bottom) and die be rid of all his troubles or STAY alive and face his troubles.

"cutting of the blood to ten" is referring to his ten fingers, which will be the first to go if he commits suicide.
