Vocalist Chrissy Costanza said: Weapon is about the invisible wars we wage within ourselves, where we are simultaneously the protagonist and the antagonist of our own story. I ve spent so much time being my own worst enemy, as the weapon that destroys relationships I care about. This song is about that battle and the victory I strive for but always seem to fall short of. We wrote it in a time of darkness that existed both in the world around us but also in my own head. This song is a triumph over that darkness.
