“…In these arms, I can dance
But your heartbeats are cold, rhythm
Unforgiven
Got a little freedom in these arms
In these arms, I feel love
I’m survivin’ this ain’t livin’
It’s a prison, got no freedom…”

“ ‘In These Arms’ is a song about addiction…through the perspective of being addicted to a person, knowing they’re not right for you and being in a prison by your own choice. It’s about constantly making excuses for the addiction and projecting romance on to it but ultimately knowing that it’s wrong. I think it’s something that most people would have been through at some point in their lives.. if not, it’s probably gonna happen…unless you’re one of the lucky ones. These are the relationships where you learn a hell of a lot about what is good for you, what you deserve and in turn, if we’re talking in the context of human relationships, what your partner deserves.” – JP Cooper
