Looking f… Read Full Bio ↴The ARRS are a French Metalcore band. They formed in 1998.
Looking for powerful music that mixes the strength of Metal, the madness of Hardcore, sensible lyrics and constructive attitude?
Forget about clichés and followers, make way for France's The Arrs!
Since the 2003 "Condition Humaine" demo, the band have been working on their own accession, conscientious and clear-sighted.
Pitching on high risk, The Arrs recorded their hard liner debut "Et la douleur est la meme" (And the pain is the same) in 2005 and started touring at once with the leading French metal acts (Gojira, Dagoba, Eths,...)
After opening for various international Hardcore acts and performing at Hellfest, France, the creativity of the band reached new heights, embodied by sophomore album "Trinite" in 2007.
On new effort "Hero l Assassin" (Murderous hero), The Arrs decided to set their imagination free, creating an album without boundaries and standing at the crossroads of genres.
"Hero l Assassin" evokes the dark side of power, its morbid fascination and its lethal impact hiding behind pomp and glory. A pure reflection of the times, this violent, somber, intense and chaotic album expresses the reproaches made to contemporary gods.
No one will get out of here alive...
Aussi loin que le regard des anges
The Arrs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Au bras des anges, Le destin est scéllé.
Heurté en plein vol. Le sang, le corps figé
Transpércé d'une flêche ensanglantée.
Sême dans sa chute des bagages de mots, de pensées,
Pour une éternité sans douleur sans chaînes, apaisé.
Paix à / leur âme.
dans un dernier souffle
all gods and all saints
are breaking the pact b'fore the end
Never forget the Diary of my Hate
Toujours trop tôt,
jamais trop tard pour leur porter l 'espoir.
Un message pour tous, trahit par la vie
que dans la mort nos destins se lient.
trahit par la vie
Et l'âme frêle et légère par dessus nos têtes.
Qui maîtrise le temps domine le monde.
et c'est si court une vie
D'une horreur à l'autre, de l'aurore à l'aube
The lyrics to The Arrs's song Aussi loin que le regard des anges are dense and emotive, evoking themes of pain, loss, and the fragility of life. The opening lines, "Ris de nos peines, de nos larmes et je souffre" ("Laugh at our pains, our tears, and I suffer"), express a complex mix of emotions that could be interpreted as both a plea for release from suffering and a recognition of the absurdity of life's trials.
The next lines, "Au bras des anges, Le destin est scéllé / Heurté en plein vol. Le sang, le corps figé / Transpércé d'une flêche ensanglantée" ("In the arms of angels, destiny is sealed / Struck in mid-flight. Blood, body frozen / Transfixed by a bloody arrow"), create a powerful image of violence and the finality of death. The metaphor of the arrow piercing the body is a poignant one, symbolizing the suddenness and brutality of life's tragedies.
The chorus, "Sême dans sa chute des bagages de mots, de pensées / Pour une éternité sans douleur sans chaînes, apaisé / Paix à / leur âme / dans un dernier souffle" ("Scattering in its fall baggage of words, thoughts / For an eternity without pain, without chains, at peace / Peace to their souls / in a final breath"), offers a glimmer of hope and peace in the face of death, imagining an afterlife that is free from the burdens of earthly existence.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that death can serve to unify people and bring them together. The lines "Toujours trop tôt, jamais trop tard pour leur porter l 'espoir / Un message pour tous, trahit par la vie / que dans la mort nos destins se lient" ("Always too early, never too late to bring them hope / A message for all, betrayed by life / that in death our fates are bound") suggest that even though death is a universal experience, it can also inspire people to connect and find meaning in their shared experiences.
Overall, the lyrics to Aussi loin que le regard des anges are a poignant and emotive exploration of the human experience of loss and mortality. They touch on themes of suffering, hope, and the afterlife, inviting listeners to reflect on the fragility and beauty of life.
