To step out from the circle
I don't see I don't see where it ends
It just keeps dragging, dragging, dragging
I won't stop running, running, running
It won't stop coming, coming, coming
You're the one who drags me down
Why do I care?
I'll carry the weight
You won't bring me an answer
Why do I care?
You're nothing but an anchor
I'll carry the weight
You won't bring me an answer
So it's up to me
Wherever I will be
I'll know it ends with you
It just keeps dragging, dragging, dragging
I won't stop running, running, running
It won't stop coming, coming, coming
You're the one who drags me down
Why do I care?
You're nothing but an anchor
I'll carry the weight
You won't bring me an answer
Why do I care?
You're nothing but an anchor
I'll carry the weight
You won't bring me an answer
Why would you do that?
Why would you take the wind from my sails?
I should get over that
I have to let you go, so the wind prevails
Why do I care?
You're nothing but an anchor
I'll carry the weight
You won't bring me an answer
Why do I care?
You're nothing but an anchor
I'll carry the weight
You won't bring me an answer
Why do I care?
You're nothing but an anchor
I'll carry the weight
You won't bring me an answer
To me, the lyrics to Landless's song "Heavy" speak to the struggle of letting go of someone who is holding you back. The song begins by acknowledging that it's never too late to step out from the circle and break free from someone who is dragging you down. The singer recognizes that this person is nothing but an anchor, and that they won't bring any answers or solutions to the singer's problems.
Despite this, the person is still having a difficult time letting go. The repetition of the chorus's question, "why do I care?" hints at a certain level of understanding on the singer's part, but the pull is still there. The person is still carrying the weight of this relationship, but they know that it's up to them to decide where they want to be. In the end, the singer realizes that they need to let this person go if they want to move forward with their life and let their own wind prevail.
These lyrics are powerful because they speak to a universal struggle. We all have people in our lives who hold us back. Whether it's a toxic relationship or a bad friend, it can be incredibly difficult to let go of someone we care for, even when we know they're not good for us. The repetition in the chorus emphasizes this struggle, and the final realization that the singer needs to let go is cathartic.

I watched this the day you guys released it. And the day before my ex of 3 years left me. I did not think I'd make it. I was an alcoholic. Pissed off, drowning myself. But this song saved my life.
I appreciate you guys. Truly.
