I love music. The composition, instruments utilized, and the lyrics are the three main components that catch my attention. I first began to listen to Anberlin when I was a missionary in Spain four years ago. My flatmate and fellow missionary, Lauren Love, introduced this Florida-based band to me and their song, “Unwinding Cable Car” struck a chord in me. I have enjoyed listening to it again and again ever since. It truly spoke to me as time passes, seasons change, and my dreams and fears fluctuate and change.
Anberlin’s song, “Unwinding Cable Car” Lyrics
Your motives unstable you’re like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices, but it’s the choices that make us who we are
Go your own way, even seasons have changed just burn those new leaves over
So self-absorbed you’ve seemed to ignore the prayers that have already come about
This is the correlation of salvation and love
Don’t drop your arms
Don’t drop your arms, I’ll guard your heart
With quiet words I’ll lead you in
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
Backing away from the problem of pain you never had a home
You’ve been misguided, you’re hiding in shadows for so very long
Don’t you believe that you’ve been deceived? that you’re no better than…
The hair in your eyes, it never disguised what you’re really thinking of
This is the correlation of salvation and love
Don’t drop your arms
Don’t drop your arms, I’ll guard your heart
With quiet words I’ll lead you in
This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Don’t drop your arms)
Don’t drop your arms, I’ll guard your heart
With quiet words I’ll lead you in
You’re so brilliant, don’t soon forget
You’re so brilliant, grace marks your heart
You’re so brilliant, don’t soon forget
You’re so brilliant, grace marks your heart
You’re so brilliant (This is the correlation)
Don’t soon forget (Between salvation and love, don’t drop your arms)
You’re so brilliant (I’ll guard your heart)
Grace marked your heart (With quiet words I’ll lead you in and out of the dark)
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
Don’t drop your arms
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
This is the correlation of salvation and love (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
(Don’t drop your arms)
Don’t drop your arms, I’ll guard your heart (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
With quiet words I’ll lead you in
This is the correlation of salvation and love (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
(Don’t drop your arms)
Don’t drop your arms, I’ll guard your heart (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
With quiet words I’ll lead you in
