Weapon
Flybanger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
such a radical figure
I cannot reach her at all
there's no sense so intense
and every time that I activate this person shuts me down.
Said I'm alone again
said I'm alone again
so I'm alone again
yeah am alone again
the weapons in control
She wants me to die spitting
She wants me to load her favorite gun
She's got it down to a system
and every time it's the same that pushes me to a limit an injection to the brain
Heavy load passed away and every time that I activate this person's drives me insane
Said I'm alone again
said I'm alone again
now I'm alone with my visions
so I'm alone again
yeah am alone again
the weapons in control
She wants me to die spitting
She wants me to die sinning
She wants me to burn like a villain
She wants me to load her favorite gun

The repeated line “the weapons in control” suggests that this relationship has become a power struggle, with both parties trying to manipulate or control each other. The woman is depicted as wanting the singer to die spitting, sinning, or burning like a villain, and even wants the singer to load her favorite gun. These violent and aggressive images emphasize the toxicity of the relationship and the danger that the singer feels.
Overall, the lyrics of “Weapon” paint a dark and unsettling picture of a relationship characterized by control and manipulation. The singer is struggling to maintain their own sense of identity and autonomy in the face of this woman’s overpowering desires.
