Also here is my song  it's my most rushed one so far, but I'm kinda happy with it. I'm very scared that the judges are not gonna like it at all though. It just doesn't take any risks, idk.
Anchor
Anchor (resubmission)
Verse 1:
All I saw was blue horizons
But there was something in the tide
And all the birds had grown silent
As the waters began to rise
A raindrop turned into a downpour
And a slight breeze into a gust
And I tried to find you shelter
But we were washed away like dust
Pre-Chorus:
You told me to be your anchor
I knew that meant I had to drown
So I tried to pull you under
But only sank farther down
Chorus:
I'm trying to hold on for you
But I can't be your Savior
Some things you love you have to lose
To become your own anchor
Verse 2:
I thought we were treading water
But you can only tread for so long
You thought I could hold on longer
But there's nothing left to hold on
And I saw you reach out for me
But l'd already drifted away
Now I'm surrounded in a sea
Of the love that you led astray
Pre-Chorus:
You told me to be your anchor
I knew that meant I had to drown
So I tried to pull you under
But only sank farther down
Chorus:
I'm trying to hold on for you
But I can't be your Savior
Some things you love you have to lose
To become your own anchor
Bridge:
You told me to be your anchor
I knew that meant I had to drown
So I tried to pull you under
But only sank farther down
I felt the world move around me
As I drifted into the abyss
Cause I was no longer drowning
And all I could feel was bliss
Chorus:
I'm trying to hold on for you
But I can't be your Savior
Some things you love you have to lose
To become your own anchor
|
But I can't be your Savior
I can already see Jackson mentioning something about this
The challenge asked for a theme to be fleshed out and expressed through imagery and you definitely did that

This type of song is something I would listen to. My favourite part is still the pre-chorus.
I do think that the chorus is a little weak and the emotional level is bit too consistent which isn't necessarily a bad thing
