| Song |
"We Bring an Arsenal" is the second single from Weapons, the fifth studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Lostprophets, planned to be released 4 June 2012.[1] It was first played live on 25 February 2012 at Brisbane, Australia.[2] The single has yet to be officially released in the UK as of 5 June 2012.[3]
Meaning
Guitarist Mike Lewis said the following to Purple Revolver on 8 May 2012.[1]
We Bring An Arsenal is about us as a band, our gang mentality. We’ve always had that, even
before we formed Lostprophets. When we were just mates growing up,we had that us vs. them,
underdog mentality. That song is about that – whatever you throw at us we’ll come back with more.
Music video
The video for "We Bring an Arsenal" was released on 21 May 2012.[4]
The video features the band leading a group of what looks like a riot through a city, just like guitarist Mike Lewis has described "us vs. them, underdog mentality".[1] With the band members singing along to the song, while leading through. It is the first to feature skaters since "Rooftops", in 2006. Just like the previous video, "Bring 'Em Down", it does not show the band performing in the video.
The video was shot on 3 May 2012, in London. Lostprophets also offered fans to be in the video.[5]
