About This Track

'weapon' by Against The Current is a 2021 alternative track from the album 'fever'. The lyrics present a self-accusing cycle of promises and intentions that keep failing, with the speaker admitting they “lie straight through my teeth”, trying to stay in control while still bending under pressure. The tone is anxious and defensive, but it is also oddly candid, as the refrain keeps circling back to the gap between what is said and what can be kept.

"weapon" is a single by Against The Current, from the album fever, released 22nd July 2021. The track is 3:17 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Against The Current.

Lyrics

weapon

I always say, I always say that it's the last time
A promise I can't keep
I always say I'll get a grip and it'll be fine
But I lie straight through my teeth (lie straight through my teeth)
And though I try and do it right with my intentions
Keepin' good, they never break, but I still bend 'em
'Cause this devil on my shoulder wants to pull me underneath (underneath)

Another sleepless night staring through the ceiling
Wondering how could I
Calm my head, yeah, calm my head, 'cause

I see red
My blood is boiling and it shows
When all you are is a weapon (weapon)
You shoot 'em down 'til you end up alone
I seem fine
But I can't take the highs and the lows
All I am is a weapon (weapon)
I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone

I always say I hate the way you look at me now
And I swear, I didn't mean to be a let-down
What I broke can't be fixed with all my sorry excuses, no

Another sleepless night staring through the ceiling
Wondering how could I
Calm my head, yeah, calm my head, 'cause

I see red
My blood is boiling and it shows
When all you are is a weapon (weapon)
You shoot 'em down 'til you end up alone
I seem fine
But I can't take the highs and the lows
All I am is a weapon (weapon)
I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone

No, I won't go under
No, I won't back down
Bittersweet surrender
Everything is better now

No, I won't go under
No, I won't back down
Bittersweet surrender
It's better now

I see red
My blood is boiling and it shows
When all you are is a weapon (weapon)
You shoot 'em down 'til you end up alone
I seem fine
But I can't take the highs and the lows
All I am is a weapon (weapon)
I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone

All I am is a weapon
I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone
All I am is a weapon
I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone
