The band name was inspired by a tumultuous relationship Gutter had with a girl named "Ami". Once when a friend asked where Dave was, someone answered "he joined the Ami". Many of the lyrics of Armies are based on the conversational dynamic of a couple.
The band define their music as Rock/R&B dance music with a sound that has been heavily influenced by hip hop, gospel, funk and psychedelic French pop of the sixties. Their self-titled debut was released in August of 2015, just three months before being named #1 of "15 Great Albums You Didn't Hear in 2015" by Rolling Stone Magazine.
Heavy
Armies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be the best thing that you never got to see
Railing through Nevada, bluebirds soar in air
Cannoned from a smokestack, cane-nosed and bare
Take one for the money, and another for me
Just sign the check now, let it be, come on
Take one for a dollar, and another that's free, yeah
Oh Heavy Dreamer, won't you hear my plea
I'll be the best thing that you never got to see
Louder and louder, the fear and screeching ring
Bronze angles parachute now, the rails white burning
Take one for the money, and another for me
Just sign the check now, let it be, come on
Take one for a dollar, and another that's free, yeah
Yeah, Yeah
I live here in silence
I live here in silence
I live here in silence
I live here in silence
Oh, Heavy Dreamer
Oh, Heavy Dreamer
Oh, Heavy Dreamer
Oh, Heavy Dreamer
The song 'Heavy' by Armies is a mysterious and poignant song that leaves much to the imagination. The lyrics are sung from the perspective of someone trying to get the attention of a "Heavy Dreamer". The idea of a heavy dreamer could mean many things, perhaps it is someone who is lost in their own thoughts or dealing with personal issues, and the singer wants to make a connection with them. The lyrics suggest that the singer knows that they would be good for the heavy dreamer but the heavy dreamer doesn't seem to see it.
Throughout the song, there are a few sensory details that are quite vivid, such as the bluebirds soaring in the air, the bronze angles parachuting down, and the rails burning. These details are likely meant to create a sense of urgency and excitement. The repetition of the phrase "take one for the money, and another for me" seems to suggest that the singer is willing to put in the work to have a relationship with the heavy dreamer, but they need the heavy dreamer to take a chance on them.
Overall, the lyrics of 'Heavy' by Armies may leave listeners with more questions than answers, but the haunting quality of the song is definitely memorable. The imagery of a person so committed to winning over someone who they believe could be good for them, but who they fear may never see them, is quite profound.
