Idols and Anchors Lyrics

Cover art for Idols and Anchors lyrics by Parkway Drive

This song is about following someone with high expectations for them.

The intro verse is about the leader dying/falling/whatthefuckever, so the follower gives up.

Basically, don't let anybody lead you. It's fine to have a role-model or someone to guide you, but ultimately, you must guide yourself. If one domino stands next to another, and the other falls, chances are they both fall.

The anchors metaphor was just a reference saying that leaders hold us back.

Thanks for keeping it simple
