Novo Amor – Anchor lyrics

Novo Amor – Anchor lyrics

[Verse 1]
Took the breath from my open mouth
Never known how it broke me down
I went in circles somewhere else
Shook the best when your love was home
Storing up on your summer glow
You went in search of someone else

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
Caught the air in your woven mouth
Leave it all, I'll be hearing how you went
In search of someone else
They taught the hand that taut the bride
Both our eyes locked to the tide
We went in circles somewhere else

[Chorus]
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?

[Outro]
Anchor up to me, love
Anchor up to me, love
Anchor up to me, love
Oh, anchor up to me
My love, my love, my love

To me this song is about an unrequited love. His first two lines he describes how she took his breath away and how devastated he was when she went looking for someone else. The second verse reiterates the first and goes on to say how they both wanted the same thing (both our eyes locked to the tide) but she wasn't getting ti from him. The chorus, the storm coming in, describes a tumultuous relationship and he wonders if that's really all it was after all. it isn't until the song takes a left (with the outro) the even though he knows his love isn't returned he is still willing to carry her through. It's a very delicate song, sad yet hopeful because sometimes we cant get out of our on way even when we should.

I interpret this song under the context of longing and heartbreak.
"Took the breath from my open mouth" - Breath symbolizes one's soul, one's being and what makes you, you. You showed your soul to your partner, the true you, therefore they took your breath from your open mouth.

"Never known how it broke me" - Since they had your soul in their hands, when they left, it confused you. You are lost, and everything felt desolate. It felt like a part of you was missing, and you don't quite know how to deal with the pain.

"I went in circles somewhere else" - So you went doing other stuff to distract yourself, keep yourself busy to help you forget and heal. But at the end of the day, your escape is temporary. You're running in circles, and you're back to your reality.

"Shook the best when your love was home, Storing up on your summer glow" - When reality hits you again after running in circles, you just sit there reminiscing the times when you considered your partner home, your relief from this world of rigor, and all of the good times you had together. All you can do, is remember.

"My dear, is it all we’ve ever been?" - Yup.

"Anchor up to me, love" - Hey love, I know the distance between us just became as large as the ocean, but I am here for you. If you need me, I am here, the same person you know. You are home here.

As FrankO46 said, this song is sad and hopeful.

She is a mermaid. He fell in love with her the first time he saw her. They fell in love. But the sea is calling her. She misses it. Her home. That's why he had to let her go. But he'll always be there whenever she comes back. End of story.

I love this song. Breaks and heals my heart...

This song says this to me, he loves her like the very breath he breathes. She captured that love in a woven web, like a spider's. Capturing it but not returning it other than using his loving only as far as it was useful. They were together, but she withheld the glowing best of herself even while they were together. She went looking for someone else. He's devastated and sent in meaningless circles elsewhere. But, he still wants to show her his love. He wants to help, to hold, to make her safe, even if she doesn't value him.
He hears that she's having a hard time. She's sad and a storm is coming. The rising tide of her tears may just give him the chance to swim across them to show her his love and protect her from the storm. But, he wonders, is that all their relationship has ever been? Is she only going to use him when she needs him for something, not because she loves him? He wants her, begs her, pleads with her to anchor herself to him, to be with him, to let him love her and protect her.
But, they both see the tide of tears, of sadness, of sorrow and it means just the opposite to each. He sees her sadness as the opportunity for him to show her his love. She sees the tide lowering as the opportunity to go out and search for someone else because everything is all okay now.
You can truly, deeply, wholeheartedly love someone who will never return that love even when they know you will always be there for them in their worst times. But, one can hope.

Unregistered 8-9-2021. . . Your description behind this song is so poignant and relatable it almost took my breath away. It’s like I wrote it myself. You described each aspect so very perfectly. It’s real heartbreak. It’s brilliant, and only someone who has been there knows. Thanks for speaking the words my soul couldn’t. Many blessings, healing and joy in your world tonight.✨
