What was ANCHOR about?

 

Ryoppa again, and this time I have song information!

Since my music isn't very big, I don't know what people think things in songs mean, which really sucks because I'd love to see the thoughts of others on what a song is "supposed to mean".

Today is ANCHOR, ft. Waltt!

ANCHOR is about some feelings i've had recently, I was extremely close to going on estrogen a while back but I ended up not doing it for some reason, and this song is the accumulation of fearing I made the wrong choice (again). In recent times I personally have realized I made the wrong choice, and ANCHOR helped me scream my thoughts about that.

Originally, the song was supposed to be about Echo, the visual novel, but I couldn't think of any lyrics for it. If you couldn't tell from the two songs (and eventually Song 4) that are written by me and not uruwashiai, I honestly struggle to work on lyrics. The lyrics in ANCHOR to say the least are a mess, I think it's clear my favorite part of working on it was the instrumental.

But even then, the lyrics do retain some meaning.

Our character here (they have no name currently) is someone who regrets what they've done, the last part of the song talking about ascending to an angel or something beautiful is them just trying to go back on what they rejected.

This song has honestly helped me realize this for myself, and I myself am trying to go back and fix my mistakes, I'm hoping I'll still be able to go on estrogen eventually. If that does happen, even if I'm an adult by then, I want to give the character of ANCHOR a happy ending, where they do become the long-haired girl at the end of the MV.

Also if you have name recommendations for her pre-transition and post do tell me. I suck at naming stuff QwQ
