Weapon
Matthew Good Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here by my side an angel
Here by my side the devil
Never turn your back on me
Never turn your back on me again
Here by my side it's heaven

Here by my side you are destruction
Here by my side a new color to paint the world
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again
Here by my side its heaven

Careful, be careful
Careful, be careful
This is where the world drops off
This is where the world drops off
Be careful, you be careful

And you breathe in
And you breathe out for it
Ain't it so weird
How it makes you a weapon
And you give in
And you give out for it
Ain't it so weird
How it makes you a weapon
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it
Again

Careful, you be careful

Here by my side its heaven




Here by my side its heaven
Here by my side

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Matthew Good Band's song "Weapon" are about the dual nature of humanity and the power that comes with it. The first verse introduces the concept of having both an angel and devil by one's side. The singer warns the listener not to turn their back on them, implying that they may be able to switch between good and evil influences. However, in the second verse, the language becomes more ambiguous as the person by their side is referred to as both "destruction" and a "new color to paint the world." This suggests that the forces within us that can cause chaos and destruction can also drive creativity and inspiration.


The chorus then brings in a note of caution, emphasizing the importance of being careful not to lose control or become consumed by one's own power. The lines "This is where the world drops off" and "Be careful, you be careful" suggest that there are dangerous consequences to misusing one's own strength. The second half of the chorus acknowledges the allure of using this power, with the lines "And you breathe in / And you breathe out for it." The repetition of the phrase "Ain't it so weird" suggests that the singer is both fascinated and disturbed by this phenomenon. The final verse concludes with the same message as the first - never turn your back on it. The song ends with the repetition of the line "Here by my side, it's heaven," leaving the listener to consider whether the dual nature of humanity is ultimately a positive or negative force.
