Anberlin - The Unwinding Cable Car Lyrics






Emotive 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 marked your heart
You're so brilliant, don't soon forget
You're so brilliant, grace marked 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

  7. D.... M....

    Every 20-year old needs to hear this in solace, and be brave enough to cry. God, that was 12 years ago. Still holds up!

  8. A.... X....

    Back here, over 10 years later.

  9. E.... J....

    I comb these comments looking for someone I'll probably never meet again.

  14. J.... ....

    Its 8 PM where I'm at right now. I'm currently sitting in my truck listening to this song, staring at the sky thinking about my life and all the decisions I've made that has led me to this point. All of the family I've recently lost and the people who are no longer with me. I'm not religious or anything so dont worry this isnt going in that direction. I just enjoy listening to music like this, it takes me away from all of the stress and turmoil in life and gives me a bit of release. Even if it's just for a few minutes, it really helps to drown out all the noise and make me feel something other than the empty feeling that's been slowly growing inside me.

  15. T.... O....

    One of the best!

  16. G.... M....

    This band had officially become, in a sense, my family's theme band. Feels like home whenever we listen to them, especially this song.

  17. M.... S....

  28. A.... H....

    miss yall

  29. J.... L....

    Anberlin needs to get back together for a reunion tour.

  30. B.... C....

    Been listening to Anberlin since 2005, saw them live 15 or 16 times(it got hard to keep track after so many years), it was so sad to say goodbye to such an amazing and talented band. The last time I saw them was in New York and luckily got to hug Joey(who remembered my sister, brother and I!) and when I hugged Christian I whispered "thanks for the memories" and he squeezed me a little tighter. This is my favorite of their albums and listening to it now is making me very emotional.

    Here's to still listening to Anberlin in 2017!

    B.... C....

    They have a comeback tour this year check out the site for more info. I saw them when they went to Dallas. It was amazing.

  31. c.... ....

    2017...

  32. A.... ....

    finding songs that i used to love makes me so nostalgic D:

    A.... ....

    Astaea you said it exactly, you love the song but it kinda hurts to hear it even though you like the song

  33. D.... ....

    When WILL YOU LET YOUR SON COME LORD THE FATHER!?, Dont you think its about time now!? We need you Heavenly Father. We need YOU, YOUR SON, AND YOUR SPIRIT TO COME AND RAVAGE this world.

  34. D.... ....

    Please come our Lord, were sick of this Life of nothingness, nothing but EVIL ALL THE TIME, nothing but rampant EVIL alll the TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! sick of this world....sooooo sick of this world

    D.... ....

    Kyrie Elison Christe Elison

    D.... ....

    Give meaning to your life if you feel it has nothing in it
    Do some good for the people around you, even little things are really appreciated
    The world isn't as ugly as it may seem
    =)

  35. D.... ....

    Lets be good Christians and worship to our Lord while the whole FUCKING WORLD FALLS.

  36. D.... ....

    gj Robin Caldwell, you produced a good christian song that one can take to others that wont listen, and yet you have done your job at least.

  37. A.... H....

    beautiful

  38. D.... ....

    We find Jesus on What Level?

  39. m.... m....

    my childhood this is <3

  40. E.... S....

    Duh. Of course we're still listening. It pierces with tough love and challenges at least my own agnosticism without compromise. (See also, Suzanne Vega's "Penitent")

  41. S.... ....

    The art looks like something Stephen Gammel would draw, great song!

  42. F.... ....

    One of my favorite songs of all time

  43. j.... ....

    The movie House brought me here ☺️

    j.... ....

    Ted Dekker?

    j.... ....

    @Tamás Fábián yes

    j.... ....

    liking this band brought me here

    j.... ....

    Sammme!

  44. J.... G....

    Stop putting the fucking year...!! musics got no year

    J.... G....

    *spins finger around ear* cookoo

    J.... G....

  46. A.... '....

    <3333333333 Listening for voices, but it's the choices that make us who we are <3333333333

  47. J.... T....

    I remember catching their show in Cincinnati at bogarts in 2005, they opened for Bayside i believe. By far the best band i had ever listened to LIVE! havent listened to them in years, thanks for bringing back some great memories!

  48. M.... W....

    there was a music video made with this song and river tam from the series firefly. does it still exist?

  49. d.... ....

    Guys, no one gives a shit that you're still listening to this album in 2016. It's music. You don't see people commenting on Elvis videos with "still listening to this in 2016<3333".

    d.... ....

    Yes you do lol

  50. G.... ....

    God this album was just utterly amazing. From the first track to the last. One of their bests.

  54. I.... M....

    Great tunes. Their music played on the airwaves of a local christian radio station(s) the first time I heard them. Never got a chance to see them live. *sigh*

    I.... M....

    +IE Music saw them in columbus, oh 2009. They opened up for taking back sunday, but literally stole the show. Such an underrated band.

  55. A.... H....

    2016 right here. this band is beautiful

  56. M.... M....

    Que Nostalgiaaaa xD

  57. P.... C....

    I grew up on bands like Survivor and Journey. Something about this reminds me of them. I love it.

  58. K.... ....

    Anberlin was such a fantastic band.
    Goodbye, my loves. Your music will be missed.

    K.... ....

    Why what happened? I just found them

    K.... ....

    They're back. Hopefully for good.

    K.... ....

    The music lives on, bro

    K.... ....

    They broke up, just had a 5 year reunion tour but nothing confirmed as far as new music or complete reunion yet, and it’s unlikely as they all have new ventures to tend to. But I’m pray every day that they release new music!! 🤞🤞❤️❤️

  59. A.... w....

    missed this song for soo long!! We need more music like this!! So glad I found this song again!!

  60. W.... ....

    Listening to this in 2015.... Anberlin, why'd you have to go??

    W.... ....

    Window4503 listening in 2017... love Anberlin man

    W.... ....

    Window4503 ummm it says listning in 2015 yet I said the comment was posted 1 year ago?

  61. D.... J....

    I like this song. Don't like any of the others. I think if they had done more of these soul uplifting songs they might still be together. Don't like heavy metal music no matter the artist. It affects me the way Saul was affected when he tossed spears at David. When I first heard this song, I thought I was listening to Tears for Fears.

  62. J.... J....

    The greatest song ever written.

  63. M.... ....

    I love this song.

  64. D.... A....

    Thanks Aeon of Dreams for showing me this song.

  65. E.... B....

  66. J.... B....

    Sad that they are no longer a band.

  67. K.... B....

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song!!!

  88. I.... Q....

    This song is such a lovely song, it gives such a good vibe. And of course the goosebumps. I see all the good moments people have had while listening to this song. It was the first song I played in my car which I bought 3 weeks ago.

    At night when I feel a bit messy from thinking a lot I just play this song in my car and go for a drive, drift off on the road.

  89. S.... ....

    Rip Cameron

  90. N.... A....

  92. V.... ....

    I'm sorry about your brother.... he is part of the magic this song talks about. You WILL see him again trust in LOVE .
