Song Meaning of “Anemone” by Joywave
Anemone by Joywave is a song about never feeling safe from the storms of life, even when you feel like you are doing well. The singer longs for the stability of a loving relationship that will get him through the difficult times. He is so desperate for this “peaceful harbor” that he sometimes overlooks the flaws of the people he allows into his life. He describes the feeling of giving the key to your heart to someone like an anemone, a flower that blossoms even when it may be at risk of being destroyed.
It’s a reminder that it’s not always easy to trust, but sometimes if you open up and take the risk, you might find a home, a person or a place that will offer you a safe haven. Despite all of the pain and fear, it’s necessary to keep aiming for that safe harbor, because without it, you’ll never find the peace and solace you desperately need.
