The Weapons Are Concealed Lyrics

I'm wearing it under my face
An expression and admission of my disgrace
But I'm sure I'll make it ok
I'll try to give you something better
You with a grin on your face
Me with a bag in it's place
I've put a rope around my neck
Trying to win you respect
Conceal the weapons
Death share everything I have
But I hate the way I conceal the weapons
Blame it on the staring match between the two of us

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song was the one that got me obsessed with the Biffy, The opening verse is just so powerful vocally. You can tell that Simon Neil really believes in the words that he's saying. Like all Biffy lyrics the meaning is vague and translation difficult. I think it's about loving someone so much that you'd do anything for them, even die. "Conceal the Weapons" is a line that really throws me, is it about hiding something, a deep, dark secret?
