Novo Amor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never known how it broke me down
I went in circles somewhere else
Sthe best when your love was home
Storing up on your summer glow
you went in search of someone else
And i hear your ship is comin' in
Your tears a sea for me to swim
And i hear a storm is comin' in
My dear is it all we've ever been?
Caught the air in your woven mouth
Leave it all i'll be heaving how you went
In search of someone else
Taught the hand that taut the bride
Both our eyes lock to the tide
We went in circles somewhere else
And i hear your ship is comin' in
Your tears a sea for me to swim
And i hear a storm is comin' in
My dear is it all we've ever been?
Anchor up to me, love.
Anchor up to me, love.
Anchor up to me, love.
Oh, Anchor up to me, love.
The lyrics of Novo Amor’s song Anchor depict the emotions of a person who feels betrayed and abandoned by a loved one. The song starts with the singer feeling lost and broken after their love left them. Their love once felt like home, with their summer glow bringing warmth and comfort to the singer’s life. However, their love left in search of someone else, leaving the singer to circle around in grief and confusion. The second verse shows that their love got married to someone else, and the singer feels like they were taught the hand that taut the bride. The line “both our eyes lock to the tide” represents their shared memories of being at the beach, but now their love has betrayed the singer and the relationship has gone in circles, leaving them feeling lost and broken.
In the chorus, the singer hears that their love is returning, but it creates a storm of emotions within them. The tears of their love may be a sea for the singer to swim, but they are not sure if their love has always been a storm. In the last lines of the song, the singer asks their love to anchor up to them as a plea to stay and work on their relationship.
Overall, the song represents the feeling of being lost and betrayed when someone you love leaves you, but it also shows the desire to rebuild and reconcile the relationship.

Storing up on your summer glow
I cherished the memories of the good times we had together.
you went in search of someone else
You left to find love with someone else.

My dear is it all we've ever been?

Caught the air in your woven mouth
I remember the way your mouth moved when you spoke.

Taught the hand that taut the bride
We held hands together on our wedding day.
Both our eyes lock to the tide
We looked out at the powerful and unyielding ocean.
We went in circles somewhere else
Despite our love, we still couldn't escape our problems and disagreements.
Anchor up to me, love.
Please stay with me and hold on tight.

Let's weather the storm together.

Stay grounded and anchored to our love.
Oh, Anchor up to me, love.
I need you more than ever.

Hold your tongue we never swayed,
pour the faults all away
Cold in lungs and in face
A golden heart, of what became?
It was an awful lot for our young days
Is it love you want 'cus it's love you've made
The cheer within will find a home,
the fear you bring burns below
I can taste the wait and watch you waste away
But I can't face the days, you were born astray
It was an awful lot for our young days
and what an ache i've made for a hollow embrace,
with the blood you flaunt why would you stay
I'm stackin' up on what i'll take,
but the ballot doesn't hold your name
You're wrapping up when winter fades,
I'm holding on the callow ways.
It was an awful lot for our young days.

Clone,
caught hold of your flood lung,
harbour your ‘someone',
prevent me.
Shown,
you swoon in your lace run,
brooding, a quilt tongue,
pining me.
Calm,
clot, cold, and bleed
Calm,
clot, cold, and bleed
Bone,
pull over your midriff,
labour your inches,
widow me.
Hone,
all crimson and hinges,
tarot and itches,
corner me.

shot, sold and bleed

Faux
shot, sold and bleed
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us
bower in your shivers, shake us
Cower all your cinders, fake us.
