ArmsBendBack burst onto the scene in 2002 with "Even Though I'll Hurt You." While there were only a handful on songs on the disc (five to be exact), they seemed to generate enough buzz to sign with Trustkill Records. Of course, it didn't hurt that this Philadelphia quartet was also heavily touring with the likes of OneLineDrawing and A Static Lullaby. The band isn't nearly as grinding and hardcore as some of their label-mates (Nora or 18 Visions). The band consists of Andrew Kegerise on drums, Brad Sloan on bass, vocalist Mike Coasey and guitarist Carson Slovak. Slovak and Sloan also handle backing vocals. The band's sound is catchy and dynamic, with vocals drifting from melodic wails to angry screaming (but leaning towards the former); the tracks seem intricate and simple all at the same time.

Primera
ArmsBendBack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is better off open ended then finished
You gave me nothing good but silence
You help me find my way
This is my last good bye
Be glad I walked away in silence
I hope you find your way
This is my last goodbye
The lyrics of ArmsBendBack's song Primera express a sense of closure and letting go. The singer speaks about a past relationship in which they were not given anything of value, but were met with silence. Despite the pain and confusion they felt, they made the decision to walk away in silence and to leave things open-ended rather than trying to fix things or putting a definite end to the relationship. The final lines reveal a sense of acceptance, as the singer declares that it is better this way and that they are okay.
These lyrics are poignant in their simplicity, as they convey a sense of emotional maturity and self-preservation. The singer refuses to continue investing energy into a relationship that is not fulfilling, and recognizes that sometimes the best thing to do is to simply let go. The use of silence as a theme throughout the lyrics adds a powerful layer of meaning, suggesting that words are not always necessary for closure or understanding.
