Archers is an anthem-like song that holds the idea of the band talking about everyone who ever doubted them, and whoever wanted them to change their lifestyle in hopes that they’d stick around and have a secure job. It’s all about the non-believers and the band proving them wrong.
[Verse 1]
I kinda wanted to leave
This place I fell in between
Cause it's a god damn mess
I guess I got lost in the seams
[Verse 2]
I kinda wanted to see
The places I want to be
So let this whole thing come undone
It's fucking ordinary
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold my hand if just for a second
I will be here for all that of a minute
[Chorus 1]
We are the swords and we are the archers
We wanted more than a normal structure
So live it out for the ones who told us
To lead a life that we never wanted
[Verse 3]
So keep your heart on your sleeve
And keep your eyes on the streets'
Cause it's a god damn long drive home
Back to normality (Come on)
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold my hand if just for a second
I will be here for all that of a minute
I find myself, it's all I ever wanted to see
[Chorus 2]
We are the swords and we are the archers
We wanted more than a normal structure
So live it out for the ones who told us
To lead a life that we never wanted
I saw the light in a cold rain glisten
We'll catch a light and we'll make you listen
We wanted more than a normal structure
We are the swords and we are the archers
(We are the swords and we are the archers)
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold my hand if just for a second
I will be here for all that of a minute
I find myself, it's all I ever wanted to see
[Bridge]
We are the swords and we are the archers
We wanted more than a normal structure
So live it out for the ones who told us
To lead a life that we never wanted
I saw a light in a cold rain glisten
We'll catch a light and we'll make you listen
We wanted more than a normal structure
We are the swords and we are the archers
[Outro]
We are the swords and we are the archers
We wanted more than a normal structure
So live it out for the ones who told us
We are the swords and we are the archers

I was on the phone to a really close friend of mine like 2 am in the morning just having a conversation. And I just got like this melody in my head straight away and I remember the moment specifically like: “Hey, like I know that you’re talking about som...
