Anchor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of the song Perspective by Anchor speaks of the struggle of finding meaning in our lives amid the chaos and distractions of the modern world. The first line “Close your eyes and you will see this world more clearly” encourages the listener to reflect and see beyond what is visible and tangible. The next line “I rather walk among the masses blind than become a victim of our time” implies that the band would rather be insensitive to society’s superficial expectations and embrace their individuality.
The questions posed in the following lines illustrate the band’s search for fulfillment and meaning, challenging the norms they were taught to believe in. The line “No more reliance on what is fiction” suggests a rejection of societal constructs that give a false sense of control over our lives, while “I am tired of worshipping an illusion” implies that the band members are tired of being trapped in a superficial reality, losing sight of what’s truly important. The final lines “Life could be so much more than an empty struggle for empty goals. Life could be so much more than a perfect image of nothing at all” express the band’s longing for something more meaningful than the rat race that people often consider life to be.
