LYRICS
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
I have so many anchors
Bound to my feet
It feels like I'll forever be bound
To the bottom of these seas
Will you hear nothing I say
As the tide just sweeps and sways
As the anchors that bind me
Just rust and decay
As I tear my flesh from bone
As I scream out to the sky
When will I find my way home?
There are sirens watching me
And they whisper and smile to me
And I'm screaming out to them
Please take these anchors from my feet
OH
I see the moon up above
I've failed my hope
I've thrown out my love
I still want to live
I still want to hope
I still want to give
I still want to grow
I was dead and gone
I was cold and alone
I was weighed down and buried
When will I find my way home?
Will you hear nothing I say
As the tide just sweeps and sways
As the anchors that bind me
Just rust and decay
As I tear my flesh from bone
As I scream out to the sky
When will I find my way home?
Let's get it
When will I find my way home?
Will you hear nothing I say
As the tide just sweeps and sways
As the anchors that bind me
Just rust and decay
As I tear my flesh from bone
As I scream out to the sky
When will I find my way home?
As I tear my flesh from bone
As I scream out toward the sky
When will I find my way home?

2023 and anchors is still one of my favs. Literally one of the first songs that got me into Amity all those years ago. THE AFFLICTION IS IN PART OF ME

[@andrewblake9133]

Who's still listening to Anchors in 2019? Forever loving The Amity Affliction

[@dylanrowe4327]

As of right know I am

[@oopsyboops4806]

Yes im just discovering post hardcore I would come back I like the femail fronted stuff too came here cause pop sucks now bad

[@lukebyrne2300]

Just saw them play anchors live!

[@imstandingbytheahrenside5699]

Forever too

[@vladimirajuraskova2131]

2020 🖤

[@Alesanahxc]

The Amity Affliction is seriously like one of the best bands out there. Their lyrics are just gold.

[@coyotelong4349]

+Cody Tisdale
The lyrics remind me so much of The Odyssey...

[@amyisdank5682]

I seriously don't know why amity is not that popular.

[@good_playlists]

+AmyIsDank true enough, they're starting to get noticed a bit more these days.. i heard like 2 songs now Glory Days is the only album i dont have from TAA..

[@Walsh2571]

+AmyIsDank You shitting me? You seen the Death and Black metal scene recently? Only tiny gigs for that near me - and amity get a huge ass stadium performance.

[@josephpaladion235]

AmyIsDank just an opinion..they are not that good live...and there last two records arent that good

[@emzed9524]

I think they’re great live. Saw them at there let the ocean take me tour

[@BJAntonio46]

Joel has gone way too political and it's affecting them. JMO

[@estephanielopez8557]

Anchors will forever be Amity's best song .

[@timecatalyst500]

Facts

[@bradr5647]

After Fruity Lexia haha

[@grantpalmer85]

​@@bradr5647 after severance

[@atvena]

It is their anthem

[@mohammedaliqurashi9473]

My first song from The Amity Affliction. This was during high school when I was 11th grade. Good memories

[@drummaboi5879]

one of the best bands of our generation. legends

[@Zombies8MyNeighbors7]

Most underrated hardcore band out there, they should be huge! Chasing Ghosts is going to put them on another level

[@shawnshafer2955]

I'll never get sick of hearing that song

[@travisclymens5249]

These guys are AMAZING live. One of the few bands that has a singer that sounds just as he does o the albums.

[@stratocasterblitz5179]

I remember listening to this in 2013/2014 I remember when this felt new. Now it’s solidified in what I remember about the early 2010s. Different time that I hated initially but it’s kinda fun and beautiful looking back now.

[@BrianAugyGaming]

😂😂😮😮😢🎉 game controllers😅

[@sansluster]

10 years of so many anchors. Love TAA!

[@demaurimitchell3167]

This is literally the song that got me into Amity

[@ilikedings]

Good. Don’t leave.

[@geraldyj]

too bad they didn't put this on spotify

[@therealdanieldavis]

I swear to God, every new song (new song for me) I hear from this guys, I just love it more and more

[@jackash9983]

Words can not describe how much i relate to this song

[@BaconLover100]

ya need to talk to someone? Im here man

[@frankzavala8605]

pretty ironic how when i first heard open letter in 2012 i immediately heard the full youngbloods album just to see what songs were good ...and i listened to all of them but i thought they were trash cause i didnt like the genre and look at me now loving this band including every track from this album

[@kingolo97]

the one mistake i keep making is read the lyrics word for word as the song plays and it leaves me in tears 😭 so damn good!!

[@cristianandrade9987]

This needs to hit 1 mil before the end of this year

[@MsTallcool1]

you don't have to believe in everything the bible tells you to realize that there is someone out there who protects and watches over you and loves you more than anything. but it's ignorant to have no belief at all. if you don't have something to believe in then what are you ? why are you here ? there's a reason you've been given life and there's a reason talk of God is all around you. you have a choice to believe but whether you believe or not, God is real and he does love you.

[@DayZOfAmaZe]

I love the new stuff don't get me wrong but I'd love this style of Amity back. The heavier progressions and the higher pitched Ahren

[@dropkickpennyday9576]

This sounds a lot better than the newest album! I wish I could find it on cd because it might be something I wouldn't mind owning even

[@adriannaconatser3957]

I agree that its better than most of the songs on Let The Ocean Take Me, you can probably find the album on CD somewhere

[@CryoSting520]

Found my CD copy on Amazon :b

[@bobleonard7160]

this song is amazing. i started with the newer TAA and found myself obsessed with this record in particular

[@lugardjulien5326]

one of the best

[@grantpalmer85]

2023 still golden

[@3dickeys]

I thought this band was going to be terrible at first, but now I am so in love I just can't even comprehend!

[@shawnshafer2955]

I listen to that and snicklefritz everyday❤

[@gunnerrobinson3453]

Music is so good I get goosebumps.

[@fishizlefishing365]

goosebumps that is all l have to say.

[@johnny_b_dude]

I just love this song...

[@stormyenriquez8168]

Seen them live a handful of times. True bliss

[@ooPESTEoo]

The Amity Affliction and Parkway Drive are great band from Australia..

[@atvena]

And now Polaris

[@j4ck.]

Love this band. Seen them many times live and the clean vocals are legit. He's just got a shitload of talent. If you don't like it, don't listen. Simple.

[@ericisindebt]

My interpretation of this song is; As you go through life, you'll meet a lot of people that try to bring you down, aka: lead on your soul. A personal struggle to find yourself and be happy in a sea of negativity, once you find/accept yourself you'll be able to stay afloat.

[@yeahboix3709]

Crazy this is the first song I heard from anchors, brings so much memories

[@TheErinCallahan]

best song they ever made

[@Blackwater_Park1999]

The chorus is beautifully amazing

[@stevencon9242]

Going to see Amity Affliction & Parkway Drive in a few weeks!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

[@jpjordaonasc]

OBRA DE ARTE

[@xMysticJames]

I cant stop listening to this

[@TheDayYouDiedToMe]

This song will always be one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@N0v3mb3rRain]

this song is one of my fav's because i like the variety of screaming and clean. i hear people saying it would be better if the screaming wasn't there, but i like the fact that it is. the amity affliction stands out to me because i find its not TOO heavy and not too soft for my liking, it has both clean and screaming. fave band to see live aswell :D:D

[@samm8140]

shes allowed to listen to "TAA" even if she is in grade 8. they are a amazing band and every one should listen to them Knobsmacker

[@MachinesProductions]

The funny thing is I used to think in exactly the same way as you, in regards to screaming. But the truth is, the more I listened to screaming and songs that incorporated screaming, the more I grew to have an absolute love for the expression. Don't let screaming turn you off. Just keep listening :).

[@BRNNDO30]

absolutely love this song. nothing else needs to be said on my part.

[@bayleysayers2864]

This is the best video ever.

[@haydenmiller9501]

Love this song

[@xM4XvPA1Nx]

A lot of meaning behind this song.

[@Park097]

2022?? Still a banger💖

[@pettermello5062]

Brasil vamos representar aee!!!

[@ReijiTsukigata]

If only my friends liked this kind of music.

[@allie4052]

Will forever love TAA

[@RockNRollLizard77]

Such a timeless song

[@samm8140]

[@loud4patterns40]

what a masterpiece!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍🎵🎵🎵

[@MrAggnizzle]

there's actually a list of Aaron and Joel's meaning behind each song (in this album) not sure about the others. it's pretty awesome though to be able to see their perspective.

[@indecisive3358]

Its Ahren, not Aaron

[@leonard4462]

Ahren not Aaron hahaha

[@HFLanciaStratos]

those clean vocals are perfect

[@Hoochypoo]

I saw this song live last night. :D It was the best thing ever!

[@TheRandomcrazychick]

the fact that your icon is Niall and that you like this song gives me hope

[@flippyremy]

was at there concert last night so much better than expected blew my mind

[@RexBuny]

By far the best lyrics video i have ever seen

[@TheMetalHeadNinja]

Dude. All im saying is that Yashin have a bigger fanbase. So they would actually be the sort of band that would support them. They are still a great band!

[@maxbermaxy9264]

i am so fucking love this band .

[@yautja9486]

2018 anyone?

[@cbandocyphers]

[@emosupremacy1895]

Niall Walsh always will be anything I fear they make after the ocean album is gonna be as bad as the new one Imao.

[@PointlessPenguin]

[@NordicClaw1]

This song is so relatable for me.

[@jancarlostoledopassalacqua9095]

Still listening on 2022 🔥

[@MikeyMoney95]

2021! YBS for life 🤙🏻

[@TheMusiccFreakk]

Hopefully seeing these guys in March. I've been wanting to see them live forever now. Everytime the chance comes, I can't go :| But it would pretty much complete my life if I see them in March.. because this band is AMAZING. No matter what anyone says. c:

[@TheMetalHeadNinja]

this is the sort of band that should support Yashin!

[@ReijiTsukigata]

That would be amazing. I should try it right now.

[@tyler3676]

I'm really big into country music
Not this new wannabe country music either..
70s 80s 90s country
But here recently I find myself listening to these guys a lot

[@Metal_Dude]

Tyler Venable country music lelelelelel. Obvious troll is obvious.

[@MyChedder123]

For a person who never heard of this band i really like this song

[@TheX2Pwner]

Beast song! cleans are sick

[@ashleymisso1796]

SPOTIFY STEP IT UP

[@bainwalker8235]

[@callofdutyguy247]

[@eternalconvict1641]

[@theweirdbritishguy5035]

Nope but check all of their material because it's all awesome! :)

[@eternalconvict1641]

+(The Weird British Guy) okay

[@joshgunter545]

[@tacomahighclub6818]

[@graydenlazzaro7677]

I still am in 2023 fool

[@Jsmeex37]

In 2024 and it’s my favorite song

[@petmalukobs1823]

2020 still listening to this😁

[@Patsfan973]

Honestly this might be their best song😅 it's such a good mix of that early 2010s crabcore sound 😅

[@KelseyJPeck1]

So many people ask me why i got an anchor tattoo on my foot, give me a stupid look, and ask if im a sailor. and they fail to understand the metaphore of it. This pretty much sums up the reason i got an anchor tattoo on my foot.(: which btw. love this song.

[@hayleyDayumm]

Can't wait to see these guys live tomorrow! So keeeen! :3

[@RJSnaiper]

May I ask somebody? Why Pittsburg have 20 millions view, but Anchors only 1,2? Must be vice versa.

[@oliiiver]

2021 and this is still a banger!

[@xoJezzyBellyxo]

still my fav AA song

[@davidengelhardts9538]

i love this song lol

[@kingjrlou]

I have a few anchors i need to get rid of :(

[@admiralstark3fx]

shit that got me

[@rubyredchanel]

This is an awesome song.

[@DrohIV]

I've noticed the more I listen to this type of music the more depressed I get

[@brysoncrowley6389]

+B3NG B3NG DCUO So im not the only one?

[@LoreleiSiren277]

because it actually has meaning unlike most songs nowadays

[@eternalconvict1641]

that's because for once you're not listening to bullshit.

[@frankzavala8605]

i feel you its like the first few times its not that deep but then you feel all sad and shit xD but hey its a good thing...cause it hits you

[@allegrot438]

I feel the exact opposite. It's super motivating and uplifting. Most of Amity's songs are.
