Armed
When Saints Go Machine Lyrics

The lyrics to "Armed" by When Saints Go Machine is a reflection on a past relationship and the question of whether it is possible for the two individuals to come together again. In the first verse, the singer contemplates whether they are ready to face another summer, and reminisces about the memories of their past relationship. There is a sense of longing present in the lyrics, as the singer wonders whether they can reignite the flame from the past. The lines "Are we armed for each other?" and "All you ever want, I will fight to give it all back" suggest that there may have been some difficulties in the past, but the singer is willing to fight to make it work again.

The chorus emphasizes the sense of youth and freedom, with the lines "We are young, no rules to follow / Hold hands, no promises, no demands." The repetition of the phrase "we're armed" suggests a sense of readiness and preparedness for whatever comes their way. The line "good girl, good girl, don't breathe" may be a nod to the idea of being "good" or "perfect," but with the added emphasis on not breathing, it could also suggest a feeling of suffocation or pressure.

The second verse continues the theme of nostalgia and the hope for a future together. The line "Let's take a seat on mountains high, meet where breaks won't hold time" suggests a desire to escape the constraints of time and the past. The line "Will I ever again be your pride and joy?" highlights the singer's desire to regain the love and admiration of their former partner. The final lines of the song, "We are young blood, clever, no rules to follow / Hold hands and we are trapped in the empty hourglass / We're armed for this war on worlds, good girl, good girl, don't / We are strong, strong, but tomorrow" suggests a continued sense of readiness and strength, but also acknowledges the uncertainty of the future.
