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...
Regrets
The Arrs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quand le ciel s'obscurcit, assombrit le soleil.
A la puretés, à l'innnocence les mains pleines.
Responsables, que les coupables saignent.
A coeur ouvet,
Prisonnier de faiblesses.
Le vice submergé.
Sans une prière.
Au nom de dieu,
Par une prière.
Prisonnier,
Pour l'amour d'un fils pour sa mère
Prisonnier,
De nos faiblesses.
Prisonnier,
Résistez pour rester fier.
A coeur ouvert
Responsables, que les coupables saignent.
A coeur ouvert,
Brûlez par la foudre, par le tonnerre.
A coeur ouvert,
Prisonnier de faiblesses.
Le vice submergé.
Sans une prière.
Résistez pour rester fier.
Rancoeur jusque dans la tombe.
Souffrance jsuque dans la tombe.
Je bascule, je chute, je tombe.
J'apprivoise, j'accable et j'entends.

However, there is also a strong sense of accountability and taking responsibility for one's actions, as well as resisting and refusing to give up in the face of adversity.
The chorus talks about being open-hearted and responsible, calling for those who are guilty to pay for their crimes. The second half of the chorus talks about being proud and resisting, even in the face of weakness and vice. The song concludes with a set of lines that seem to describe a personal struggle, with the singer falling and then rising, learning and accepting life's difficulties.
Overall, Regrets is a song that deals with themes of power struggles, grief, and resilience. The lyrics describe a sense of frustration and anger at being at the mercy of the strong, but also a determination to remain upright and proud despite one's weaknesses.
