Anchors Aweigh
Audiostrobelight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the saddest thing I've ever seen
I picked you out of my teeth and I've got damn good reason
Stale friends thrown out with eggs and bread
Bad friends go out with glory
Dead friends go out, just go out
Veins splitting bone, chest ringing with toneI'll sing the song that'll take you home
You'll be alright alone
Just hear the sound, I hope you're proud
Beat yourself down from the inside out
You would be lost without me
Anchors aweigh, my friend
Anchors aweigh
But the ivory casing on the keys
They don't know why you have to leave
But they sing about it best
Another sad song just like the rest
Talk your way out of this one boy
Make no mistake, your every word has been wasted
Veins splitting bone, chest ringing with tone
I'll sing the song that'll take you home
You'll be alright alone
Just hear the sound, I hope you're proud
Beat yourself down from the inside out
You'll be alright without me
I haven't seen you in so long
It feels like I haven't seen the sun
You told me you'd be there, I guess that you lieYou're more than meets the eye, a whore in disguise
Why would I forgive you' Now exit stage right
I hope this is goodbye
Veins splitting bone, chest ringing with tone
I'll sing the song that'll take you home
You'll be alright alone
Just hear the sound, I hope you're proud
Beat yourself down from the inside out
You're better off without me
You're better off without me
Anchors aweigh, my friend
I never want to trace this back
And let the record show - I'm happy once again
The song Anchors Aweigh by Audiostrobelight starts with the line “Drink caffeine to keep your heart beating,” which could mean that the person is using caffeine as a way to stay awake or alert, possibly to avoid facing their problems. The next line “You're the saddest thing I've ever seen” suggests that the person might be going through a difficult time or facing some kind of hardship. The line “I picked you out of my teeth and I've got damn good reason” could be interpreted as the singer trying to distance themselves from this person or situation.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “Veins splitting bone, chest ringing with tone” which could suggest a physical or emotional pain. They sing “I'll sing the song that'll take you home” which could mean that the singer believes that their music can help bring comfort or healing. The phrase “Anchors aweigh, my friend” could suggest that the singer is offering to help this person move on or leave their troubles behind.
The second verse of the song introduces a new idea, “But the ivory casing on the keys / They don't know why you have to leave.” This line could reference a piano, as ivory was commonly used for piano keys. The singer seems to be saying that the piano doesn't understand why the person has to leave, but that it can express their feelings through music. The rest of the verse suggests that the person has been talking their way out of situations without taking responsibility for their actions.
Overall, the song is about dealing with difficult situations and relationships, using music as a form of comfort or escape. The lyrics can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the listener's own experiences and perspective.
