Cover art for Anchors lyrics by Amity Affliction, The

wow. first comment; surprising. okay, i think this song is about how the anchors are pulling him down so to speak- like, hes being dragged down by bad mistakes and wrong turns in his life; thus the first verse of the song: "i have so many anchors so many, so many (so many anchors) far too many to be sailing on these seas (they're pulling me under and i just want to be freed but i'm just drowning and clasping) to the tinder and twine not the firm planks and rope that i know to be mine that i know to be mine"

awesome song, i have to say :D
