Meaning

Guitarist Mike Lewis said the following to Purple Revolver on 8 May 2012.[1]

" 'We Bring An Arsenal' is about us as a band, our gang mentality. We've always had that, even before we formed Lostprophets. When we were just mates growing up,we had that us vs. them,underdog mentality. That song is about that – whatever you throw at us we'll come back with more."

Music video

The video for "We Bring an Arsenal" was released on 21 May 2012.[3] The video features the band leading a group of what looks like a riot through a city, just like guitarist Mike Lewis has described, "us vs. them, underdog mentality".[1] The band members are singing along to the song, while leading through. It is the first to feature skaters since "Rooftops", in 2006. Just like the previous video, "Bring 'Em Down", it does not show the band performing in the video. The video was shot on 3 May 2012, in London. Lostprophets also offered fans to be in the video.[4]
