Lyrics:
I’m not the person that I thought I was
I couldn’t tell you where the ache came from
Maybe born in a storm beneath an angry sky
Now it’s raining in my head nearly all the time
Now it’s raining in my head and I don’t know why
All the love, all the kindness, all your best-laid plans
Couldn’t stop me from becoming the way that I am
You toiled on a bridge to cross the gap inside
But I couldn’t help you build it and I don’t know why
No I couldn’t let you build it, but god knows you tried
Was I born with a hole in my heart?
A fatal fault at the start
Tell me it’s inevitable that I’d end up with
Scars
I’m not the person that I thought I was
I’m trying to come to terms with what you’ve done
In the fumes of your anguish, oh my blistering pride
I’m still burning like a tire fire deep down inside
Oh I’m burning like a tire fire and I don’t know why
Was I born with a hole in my heart?
A fatal fault at the start
Tell me it’s inevitable that I’d
End up with scars from falling
Down, down
We were always meant to fall apart
Nothing could have been done
Is that right?
Nothing could have been done
Nothing could have been done
Is that right?
‘Cause I was born with a hole in my heart
Yeah, we were fucked from the start
Tell me it’s inevitable that I’d
End up with scars from falling
Down, down
We were always meant to fall apart

As an Asian adoptee who loves Never Love an Anchor more than words can say, thank you for the best possible sister song. Seeing Scars live twice and getting to now listen to it daily is a blessing.

Ive been playing the song for the last 55 minutes what is wrong with me

[@deinodinosuchus]

as an autistic person, this song resonates with me beyond words. i know that's not what it's originally written about, but to me it is. i was constantly asking myself "was i born with a hole in my heart?" and "maybe born in a storm beneath an angry sky, now it's raining in my head … and i don't know why," before i knew why i felt so alien. paired with the simple catharsis of "we were fucked from the start," and finally the knowledge of “all your best-laid plans couldn’t stop me from becoming the way that i am,” it feels like both a warm hug and a rage room. thank you for writing these :)

[@rileyhighline3802]

REAL THESE LYRICS ARE EXACTLY WHAT HAVING UNDIAGNOSED AUTISM FEELS LIKE

AUGHHHH YOU GET IT YOU GET IT as an autistic girl it resonates with me so deeply

I still can't believe Never Love An Anchor has a sequel... _and it's even more devistating than the original..._

[@batterbee]

Scars and bitter medicine both give the vibe of sobbing but also I’m bouta beat the crap out of who/what made me feel this way and I absolutely love that

[@TheGhostlyZed]

i love that the "nothing could have been done- is that right?" feels like angrily mocking somthing the other person (never love an anchor) might have said to try and excuse their actions. like " 'NotHinG cOuLd HaVe bEeN dOnE-' _Is That_ *_Right??!?!?"_* it feels taken out of a heated argument, and i adore it

[@nokaydippp2762]

i've been waiting for this release for months y'all. i'm about to scream and dance and make so much art

[@KiwiMeowo]

It's time to imagine my OC in an animatic, thank you crane wives we said in unison

Excuse me while I listen to this on repeat while preform a desert duo animatic in my room that I’ll never make...

[@Reed_Vine]

I love how 50% of the comments are already life series related lmao This song is amazing though, honestly, like- Never Love an Anchor is one of if not my favorite crane wives song and this being a sequel to that song has me bouncing up and down in my seat

[@mushom_]

IKR!!! The fandom has just claimed half the crane wives sounds I swear

[@confusedtoothbrush3465]

this one has such an ominous tone, like the singers already given up. one of my favourites from the album by far

[@TheSilentCr0w]

We're making it out of Secret Life with this one boys 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

[@aussie_alex9186]

Another one of the radiantly powerful songs that I've heard live and subsequently memorized! I adore the sheer rage this one emanates, and I absolutely can't wait to see this alongside the catalogue of other songs in Beyond Beyond Beyond!! I'm sure Emilee's animation will be nothing short of spectacular as well, very excited to see it!

[@asexualtrickster]

I heard a live recording of this song back in December and it absolutely DESTROYED ME. I was in a DARK place but this song (and subsequently the rest of their music) pulled me out and it's been my favorite song of theirs ever since (closely followed by Ancient History, Take Me To War, The Hand That Feeds, and Hollow Moon). I'm literally SO EXCITED for the new album and to see them live in a few weeks!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Crembaw]

I don’t know what life series is but I’m glad to see all these nieces and nephews having fun!!

[@CameronDay-uv2yj]

its a game series, it has a bunch of plot points that people like to draw music videos for. this band got really popular with the people that like it, so we tend to comment about the series in the music comment sections ^^ 👍

[@midnamagic2678]

It’s a Minecraft series! 3 life system in a death game setting. First two lives are friendly, final life is hostile to other players. Last one standing wins. So it starts off like a normal multiplayer let’s play and slowly devolves into alliances, treachery, and violence. All of the people on the server are pg (mostly, sometimes someone says something that can be taken out of context in the funniest ways) If you like Minecraft let’s plays, I’d say give it a shot. The reason this series has a connection with the crane wives is because the artistic fans in the community make AMVs and animations to crane wives songs. The vibes just fit so well!

[@makaylasmith7429]

I'm so excited for this one to finally release! All of the Crane Wives songs are so poetically beautiful; they're so raw and expressive ❤cannot wait for Life Series fans to draw Scar with this one!!

[@katareii]

[@Bagel.Rat_]

this is gonna be a field day for the life series fans (AND ME HSDJJDJFNFJ)

[@Sue-g6y]

What is the Life Series?

[@OrangeJuice33]

Seriously!!!

[@OrangeJuice33]

​@@Sue-g6y it's a Minecraft series here on KZbin :D

[@delinda24601]

The life series is a mcyt (Minecraft KZbin) series, which currently has five seasons (and an April fools spin off). There is quite a lot of overlap between crane wives fans and life series fans; many people make animatics for the life series using crane wives songs as they fit the series so well. I would totally recommend watching it- it’s sort of an improv comedy version of the hunger games (although everyone has three lives in most seasons), in Minecraft. Hope this helps!

[@mushom_]

This fandom follows my interests like the plaque and literally can’t escape it if I tried (but I’m not because block people supremacy)

[@aidan599]

This song really has that crane wives flow I've fallen in love with

[@plutopepsi578]

As an adoptee never love an anchor always made me a bit emotional but this one just hits DIFFERENT. I just saw it live and it may be my new favorite song because it just resonates with me more than almost any other song ive ever listened to. It just puts that feeling that’s always loved nestled in my chest into words.

[@lyn5246]

"Thank You The Crane Wives" We all said in unison 🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️

IM NOT EVEN JOKING, THIS ALBUM RELEASES THE DAY B4 MY BIRTHDAY BEST GIFT I COULD LITERALLY EVER ASK FOR, I LOVE THIS BAND SO MUCH

I saw this you guys play Scars live and I immediately knew I would add it to ALL of my playlists, by far one of the best songs you’ve wrote, and that says a lot, it’s hard to top Queen of Nothing!

[@rufri5014]

This song feels like its speaking the words I never had when I was younger. Thank you, Crane Wives.

[@Bloop-ir8ei]

This song resonates with me so deeply, it helped me get through one of the roughest years of my life. I ended up singing it for a school performance for my last year of high school and it was so cathartic, your music always makes me feel much less alone as an autistic girl. You guys are wonderful thank you for all that you do 🫶

This song speaks to me so hard, I've loved it since I heard the recording from their concert and it just gets better every time I hear it. It resonates with the deep, seething anger that exists under my skin.

This will be fun im so excited!!! Literally any Crane Wive song I will be so excited for!!!!!!!! EDIT: The Crane Wives does their job so well literally every song I hear from them is a hit. Also this was my first stream that I caught for your band because it’s at 7 am for me and my sleep schedule is crazy. This one was so good! The melody, the lyrics, the art, MUAH, CHEF’S KISS!

I am beyond obsessed with the vocals of this band, they're some of the prettiest and most emotional I've ever heard, both elegant and venomous delivery at the same time, able to make nearly every theme compelling and interesting. Definitely a big part to why I fell in love with their music so much.

[@AmeliasArt4]

I think we can all agree NO ONE left the desert

[@zpyo27]

I'm so excited for yet another incredible teaser for the album! This song is distinctly personal to me because I was *quite literally* born with a hole in my heart. I have borne the scar from it my whole life. I may have a had a struggle from the start, but that doesn't mean I'm broken or worse for it, and this song reminded me of that in a... unexpectedly literal way. I love this as a response to Never Love an Anchor, too. The song had always felt a bit too harsh on the singer: a bit too self-deprecating given the rest of the Crane Wives' discography. But calling back to the follies within it and assuaging the self-guilt of the past is such an incredible message. I can't wait for the premiere!!! P.S. The Crane Wives are hands down my favorite band and I'm really hoping to fly out to see them live! (even if I have to go across the whole country because I missed the summer tour *sob*)
