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.

The Arms Of Automation
ArmsBendBack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where's the sympathy when he feels he should give up
Well I patiently wait for you
Where does truth begin when you know that it hurts
All the time you spent you feel it's time to give up
My arms will not take hold of you
But instead of giving up
I wait
I wait
'Cuz I patiently wait for you in the dark
To fall into my arms
When a fool begins to explain he's in love
Where's the sympathy when he feels he should give up
I know you'll never come
My arms will not take hold of you
But instead of giving up
I waited all my life for this
I waited all my life for this
I waited all my life for this
I waited all my life for this
I wait...
The ArmsBendBack's song The Arms Of Automation is a powerful ballad about the struggles of unrequited love. The lyrics depict the emotional turmoil of waiting and hoping for someone who never reciprocates the feelings. The first stanza alludes to the pain of confessing the love to the person who is unaware of one's emotion, and the lack of empathy that follows. The second stanza highlights the truth about love that it can sometimes cause pain, and make one feel like giving up. However, the singer in the song chooses to wait patiently for their loved one, hoping that someday they will fall into their arms.
The repeated refrain of "I know you'll never come, my arms will not take hold of you, but instead of giving up, I wait," shows the resilience and determination of the singer in their pursuit of love. The lyrics suggest that instead of giving up, they have been waiting for the love of their life all their life - this indicates that the love they have for the person is true and worth waiting for.
The Arms Of Automation is a relatable song that speaks to the hopeless romantics who have ever waited for someone they love. The song is a tribute to the power of true love, perseverance, and hope.
