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.
