1) AR (AnAchoic ReflectioN) was a metal band from England formed by John Isaac (bass, guitar, vocals), Kev Baker (guitar, bass, vocals) and Alex Magilton (drums). Fashioned by the unremitting horror that pervades Cambridge and the surrounding areas, AR is a band that brooks no compromise. Heavy, loud and ironclad they have been under a self-imposed confinement for two years, during which time they have been grinding fragmentary lyrics and shattered riffs into a taught, dynamic set. Before their disbandment in 2006, AR had released a full-length self-released effort titled "Reverse", and a 3-track EP titled "Initiation". Official Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/arworld

Double Face
AR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hate the double face,
Poker face, I'm in the race.
Feel bad, I feel bad, feel bad, I fell in a
Disco dance, rock machine, rhythm and blues, in the groove.
Come on, let's go to have fun on the friday
Night show, in the club every night is fearful
17 Arrows go to the sky I feel too sad then I search a place to hide.
Leaving the party I met a boy with my girlfriend.
I'll become insane, I hope you are stronger than me
Who did throw an arrow?
A! A! Anybody
Who did throw an arrow?
A! A! Anybody
RIT.
I hate the double face,
Poker face, I'm in the race.
Run run run away
Faster than speed light and
Leave your house without your soul
Come let secluded alone in the world and
Everything you really need become melt
17 arrows hit my heart
Making me the next victim to sacrifice.
I resist my sufferings once again,
Because I know what I'm doing and it's not a game.
RIT.
I hate the double face,
Poker face, I'm in the race.
3a strofa
RIT.
I hate the double face,
Poker face, I'm in the race.
Guitar assolo
Outro
The song "Double Face" by AR is about the struggles of dealing with fake people, or "double faced" individuals in life. It expresses distaste for those who pretend to be one thing on the outside, but are secretly something else. The lyrics express the desire to escape from these kinds of people and seek solace in music and dance, but even in these activities, the fear of encountering deceitful people remains. The song also touches on themes of heartbreak and betrayal, referring to arrows thrown by someone unknown, and the pain of being the next victim to suffer.
The use of arrows as a metaphor for the pain of betrayal and deceit is interesting and unique. The repetition of the phrase "Who did throw an arrow?" adds to the sense of confusion and frustration expressed in the song. The mention of a "rock machine" also stands out, possibly referring to a jukebox or other type of music player, and adding to the overall musical feel of the lyrics. The use of the phrase "fearful night show" to describe clubbing and nightlife also adds a layer of complexity to the meaning of the song.
Overall, "Double Face" by AR is a powerful expression of the pain and frustration of dealing with fake people and the desire for authenticity in relationships and interactions.
Line by Line Meaning
I hate the double face,
I dislike individuals who are disloyal and untrustworthy
Poker face, I'm in the race.
I maintain an expressionless face while trying to succeed
Feel bad, I feel bad, feel bad, I fell in a
I feel uneasy because I was caught in a situation
Disco dance, rock machine, rhythm and blues, in the groove.
I am dancing to fast-paced party music with ease
Come on, let's go to have fun on the friday
Let's enjoy ourselves on a Friday night
Night show, in the club every night is fearful
Going out every night is nerve-wracking because of the unpredictability of events
17 Arrows go to the sky I feel too sad then I search a place to hide.
I feel tremendously distressed and look for privacy to cope
Leaving the party I met a boy with my girlfriend.
My girlfriend cheated on me with another boy while I was leaving the party
I'll become insane, I hope you are stronger than me
I might become mad, so I hope you are tougher than me to bear it
Who did throw an arrow?
Who hurt me?
A! A! Anybody
I am unaware of who hurt me in this horrible way
Run run run away
I need to escape as soon as possible
Faster than speed light and
I must escape instantly
Leave your house without your soul
I must leave without my sense of self
Come let secluded alone in the world and
I must go far away and be alone in this world
Everything you really need become melt
Everything important to you dissolves before your eyes
17 arrows hit my heart
I feel emotionally destroyed by 17 different situations
Making me the next victim to sacrifice.
My pain makes me the likely candidate for further harm
I resist my sufferings once again,
I fight against my pain again
Because I know what I'm doing and it's not a game.
I am aware of my actions and their seriousness.
