Lyrics
Seven billion hungry ghosts
Just a parasite killing its host
The emperor wears no clothes
I see those brittle bones
But we’re buried by modern misery
There’s not enough water in the world to wash the blood from our hands
We planted a seed
Its roots will suffocate the soul
It grows without light
And feeds from our bones
Hell must be empty
All the devils are here
Singing us the Lord’s Prayer
Finally, something that we all share
I won’t go to the grave
With the song still in me
What are we hiding in the rain?
This is a prison for lost souls
Another life circles the drain
We used to run with the wolves
Now we can’t see the forest
‘Cos there’s no light in the black hole
Don’t try and tell me we are blessed
We used to run with the wolves
Are these our new messiahs?
‘Cos the saviour has a gun to my head
Don’t be fooled by Maya, the kings are all thieves
And the serpents will bite as they please
How has it come to this?
I won’t go to the grave
With the song still in me
And I won’t live like a slave
Begging from my knees
I will not live like a slave
I will not beg from my knees
I will not go to the grave
With the song still in me
We used to run with the wolves

"Hell must be empty
All the devils are here"
I love that Shakespeare is still a thing in modern lyrics
@Poop Poop Tom loved using Shakespearean language in his diction, "the word made flesh, you can't fight fire with fire". It's only natural Dan continues this and writes similar to his twin
Norma Jean used that line, too.
Neeeerd!! 🤓🤓😂
Shakespeare is like the Greek drama writers: timeless, as the human nature does not change through the eras
@Poop Poop that quote is a direct one from Nietzsche and went something like "God is dead.. and there's not enough water in this world to wash the blood from our hands". Referring to the meaninglessness today's people would feel with that loss and the "bloody" or unsuccessful ways they would try to fill that void, i.e. the modern misery
The lyrics, the emotion, the melody, the heavy riffs, the message behind it and this band. You guys are
Heavy riffs? oO
Yes
The band we need but don’t deserve.
Yes, if you look at all of the comments this is the exact result, noone seems to listen what this guys scream in our faces, all people care about is "bleh" and how good the band is compared to others.
True. The messages behind the videos and lyrics are beyond what we can comprehend.
@@Wilson84KS I thought the same. People are becoming too simple these days...
My bady is rady
covid 19 lmfao kmac
There’s a reason why this band is having incredible success, ‘cause they deserve it. You don’t just hear it, you FEEL it.
SO MUCH AGREED. Especially in this and Doomsday
they were the absolute best at what they did. Holy Hell was their peak in metalcore
i need friends who listen to this kind of music badly
my snapchat is j-24220
Where do u from?
why though lol
You REALLY don’t!

Wow Architects did it again, each singles is better than the previous one WOW!!!
Not true. Hereafter is so MUCH MUCH better
we0w! ~ Owen Wilson
I would honestly say the other way around but that doesn't mean in any case that this one is a bad song.
I think Royal Beggars was the best amongst the singles. 2nd is Hereafter.
Royal Bleghgars > Bleghafter > Modern Bleghery
Architects keeping Metalcore alive that's for sure. Holy Hell is one of the best albums of all time
And Meteora or HibrydTheory LP?
@@grungefather9104 that's more to NU-metal
Too many sub genres in metal.
@@kbkbkbkbkbkbkbkbkbkb absolutely agree
Need check out some Erra to also include metalcore staying alive.
3:35 Everytime when I hear this, I just imagine myself flying through outer space ... absolutely beautiful
Flew away and gone forever....
Got the same feelings !
Yez, mi tuu
I have the same feeling by the end of Doomsday
Honestly one of those the most beautiful moments in music history
It took me 12 years to realize that I like hard music. 6 years more to realize that music can be so much more than something you listen to. That was when I found Architects. I started to really getting into bands (not only this one), reading backstorys, interviews, lyrics. Search for things I could learn from songs. I fell into a hole because of bullying, anxiety and shit like that. I bought All our god have abandoned us. And it fucking saved my life. Short moments of bliss, 3 to 5 minutes each, made me rethink many things. Listening to the album over and over again kept dragging me out of my personal hell. At the next Architects show I visited, I cried my soul out. All the emotions. The ability to actually let them out triggered by simple words, sung by a normal person.
September '18, I fell into another hole. Broken heart, more anxiety, the fear of losing my job. Then Hereafter was released, Holy Hell was announced. And I just couldn't stop smiling. Probably one of the biggest smiles in my entire life. For me this band is more than just music. They made me understand what music means to me. They kept me alive. They brought light into my darkest days. And the sad thing is, I will never be able to thank them in person for doing more for me then most people on this planet. So I will write it down here.
Thank you Architects, for giving me the strength to fight my depression. For saving my life twice. And for making the fucking best music, I could listen to.
I look forward to your show in munich next year ❤
So. this was my story. Short version but still longer than i thought it would be. And Thank you to everyone who made the effort to read this.
will they play in munich?
I wish you the best and all the strength you need to get through it. ❤
Geht mir ganz ähnlich wie dir.. Wünsch dir nur das Beste! Man sieht sich in München :)
Dude mental health sucks trust me. This band saved me as well on several occasions over these few years. We're all here for ya brother, stay strong
This is while she sleeps for me🌹
Sam is a beast vocalist, he can scream like that with an arrow in his heart? Goddamn...
NinjaCloud it's a fake .. duh
@@richwashere9484 no shit
I took an arrow to the knee and kept screaming
@@richwashere9484 r/woooosh
the daredevil190 sorry, I forgot to mention "/sarcasm" .. people these days
Most powerful, passionate vocal performance and lyrics I've heard in the past decade. This guy deserves a fucking medal. I'm not sure harsh vocals can get much better.
Masterpiece.
This "we used to run with the wolves" sticks in my head.
Damn, they're going hard for that AOTY title.
you heard WSS new song yet?
Yoo ma Boy Nik ..
what new WSS song? :o
There will be a big battle between Holy Hell and I Loved You At Your Darkest for me :O
@@bliksemvis a new WSS song named Anti social was played on BBC1 one hour ago
Best album of 2018 is coming. My body is ready.
It will be REALLY hard to beat When the End Began from Silent Planet. Their latest record is really something special. Every tracks are gold, even the interludes.
Same I been saying that
@@Gvmbit parkway drive has a new album? i couldn't find it on wikipedia
Idk man. I don't think itll top Ice Nine Kills but close
@@bradhuff5131 true tho but both albums is amazing, and holy hell isnt out yet
4 years ago another fellow fan said Tom would be proud…it’s 2023 and I think if Tom was alive he’d be more upset with how the comment section doesn’t understand the meaning of the music. Rest in metal Tom, you’ll forever be a fucking legend.
The synths and ambience progression around the chorus remind me of "all Love is Lost". Rather than finding it repetitive, I find it interesting how a lof of the songs on this records are actually a follow up To AOGHAU. The gods have ACTUALLY ABANDONED US and we are now left in this "holy hell". holy fucking guitars in this song, Holly fucking video, And holy fucking Vocals for the GOAT himself.
B L E G H N I F I C E N T
honestly hope that was on purpose. It really sounds exactly the same.
A chord progressive is similar to a part in momento mori. Which imo is sickkkkkk
@@tomgottschalk2658 I really hope too! If it is the case, then it is FUCKING SICK. If not, it's very negative imo.
TheExisting 1 not only it is the chord progression, it is the synth- and vocalline as well. I was really just singing the wrong lyrics in my head when I first heard it.
The album cover itself is a ruined version of all our gods, I can feel what you mean, and kinda find it a continuity to the previous work. Tom on the composing act of the music is yet missing, but I really appreciate the work these lads are doing
Architects is deadass THAT band
I'm so stoked for the record
They really are
"Seeing red" just release 10 minutes ago... and its so damn good that brought me here😂
**10x on repeat already and still going..
Man I really wish my friends listen to this kind of music..
Me too :(
me too!
Make new friends its that simple
They do, friend. =3
X>
just force them to listen like I do to my friends, whether or not they ever click the link I'll never know:( keeps me up at night wondering.
*Holy Hell I'm ready for this album.*
Same sorry my mobile have issues 😅
Why you rip off comments..?
Parkway Driver You mean my comment on Royal Beggars? 😂😂
I saw the same comment of yours in the Royal Beggars video. Switch it up a bit, will ya?
lordoftheoreos No
They just keep churning out bangers like nobodys business. 11/10, much enjoy.
am i the only one who got goosebumps from all released yet songs?
Only when reading the lyrics
Chills on the whole of all of our gods, and I’m confident the same for holy hell
This band is on fire. So fucking good.
Almost every song on the album gave me that feeling.
Lawrence Taylor?
Tom would be proud, Dan.
Nishant Gandhi Agreed
I agree to this
Lmao
@@nadavguy10 what's funny dude?
@@jeeemmm kinda cringy
How is it possible for a band to have this many amazing singles back to back to back?!?!? Massively impressed!!!!!
thats simple.. never change your style.. if all songs sounds the same.. all are good
yes , it also sounds to me that they all have the same riffs....@@Thaldrion
It's definitely made a fan out of me. I feel so fucking shitty I was missing out all this time!
The only thing saving me from Modern Misery is this band 🤘🤘🤘
Tom Kennedy-Dack Best coment ever.
Charlie Waffles is it though?
Modern Misery = Mainstream Music
*HOLY HELL* good refference
This song is more than perfect.
This song perfectly encapsulates the absolute state of this world and our 'lives'. We are slaves who live a monotonous existence in concrete jungles, never able to switch off, connect with nature or live our lives. Just work work work, stress stress stress. It is a disgrace. So many are miserable and fed up with the system, yet nothing ever changes..
I am so happy. This album is going to be amazing. Album of the year already
Charlotte Bieber For sure!
I dont remember the last time i was so ready for an album to come out
@@ztoney38 fit for a kings album came out recently, i was more stoked about that than this one, silent planet is coming out soon too and they have STRAIGHT bangers man probably better than these releases, although i really like royal beggars now and hereafter, this single has to grow on me .... check out silent planets, northern fires, vanity of sleep, and share the body.. in absense is good to but thats a slower single
I'm not really too much into heavier music honestly, I love Architects though. I'll check them all out though.
Must be pretty uncomfortable singing with an arrow sticking out of your chest. Proves that Sam truly is the best metal vocalist
this has to be the most best comment ever.
Hahah truly one of the best!
It's a shame Josh isn't doing any kind of backing vocals, imo got a much better screaming voice
For me he's not the best but he's one of the best metal singer these days.
Margarita Romanova him and Howard Jones are tied for me
Parkway Drive: Metalcore is dead.
Architects: Hold my Blegh mate, I got this.
no more Blegh on Holy Hell u_u' just 1 or 2 & very discret...
“metalcore is dead?” Source?
@@longinuscyclone213 Emmure is gonna make a new album
I almost spit out my fuckin drink lmao!!
Parkway Drive is garbage anyway.
Their lyrics are just so beautiful. I love this band so much, it is just so unique, carries a message with every song. I wish that other people would see that...
"There's not enough water in the world. To wash the blood from our hands." NEVER HAS BEEN truer than now... I keep thinking of this quote from time to time wherever I go.
Best vocals in the scene
Bury Tomorrow also
Sam can actually sing live tho
Spencer Charnas
Jake Luhrs, Sean McCulloch, Garrett Russell...
Sam's a good vocalist. He does what he does incredibly well. However, he doesn't have any variety. He needs to include more lows.
architects never fails to produce amazing music, MODERN MISERY!
Royal beggars goes pretty hard too
Does no one realize how hard it is and how much talent goes behind screaming AND screaming on key for a melody? Not many bands do that.
Keep it up guys
He sings/screams with so much emotion, this is a goosebump band. Amazing
I dont know but some parts sounds like "All love is lost"
Great song!
Which is one of their best songs in my opinion❤
AdrienFlood We share the same opinion!!
@@Yukio1407 awesome! I thought I was the only one... I ve got the feeling that most people forget that All Love Is Lost exist...
*exists
All love is lost is much better
God save the BLEGH.
So fkn good. From year to year.
Listening to this past midnight makes you realise how much this song is wonderful
You guys okay? Between this and Royal Beggars, you've been losing a lot of blood lately...
they should see a doctor or something. its amazing how they still alive and singing well considering the amount of blood lost.
@@jackaller5112 its fake blood lol
POTATO king wooosh my dude
You don't need blood in the seventh circle... 👉👉
Made me giggle
Note to everyone: like the video before you play it because you might forget it after YOU SMASH YOUR PC WHILE HEADBANGING ON THIS EPIC SONG
yves govaerts done 🤘 rip phone and rip pc
Architects and While She Sleeps are two of the greatest bands in business right now. WSS is a bit underrated but they'll get there. I can't wait for this album.
WSS are way too underrated 😞
They deserve more attention, don't they?
Why do generic bands always get brought up with Architects? Architects is awesome, whenever other bands get brought up in comments I always go give their stuff a shot and I'm so disappointed.
I really think Architects is standing alone in "metalcore" right now.
@@dtack777 Well, it all comes down to personal taste. Music is subjective. I personally like WSS, they're lyrically a superior band than most of acts from same genre and they make good music.
@@dtack777 I'm sorry but if any band is generic it's Architects
- Hey Sam, what is the secret to achieve harsh vocals as you do?
- An arrow to the chest helps
"I won't live like a slave
BEGGING FROM MY KNEES"
Damn, such a powerful line
when you think it can't get better, but every single song it does
Parkway Drive: we’ve got the metal album of the year
Architects: hold my beer
ice nine kills: hol' on
Bury Tomorrow: Hold up...
Parkway Drive: We’ve got the metal album of the year
*Reverance is shat out of PWD’s ass and plops on the floor*
Every Other Band: Oooooooh that’s embarrassing!!!
New ice nine kills album is Dope AF.New parkway drive...well it has some great songs
Parkways new album is a joke that isn't the slightest bit funny..
I can't describe with words how much I love this song.
So many feels every time he sings “we used to run with the wolves” amazing song
that opening riff might just be more infectious than A Match Made In Heaven
Hmm I have to disagree. It's good but a bit too simplistic in my opinion. Not that simplistic is necessarily bad.
@@BaconJunkee I feel like lately Architects has been writing simplistic riffs. I enjoyed this one more than a lot of their last album in all honesty.
Jason LovesABR to be fair, Tom wrote a lot of complex styled chord based riffs. It might be more simplistic now but it does work just as well with Josh’s riffs. I honestly like it a lot. Instead of trying to replicate Tom, they’re more of writing riffs in Toms style. Either style works for Architects and in my opinion they’re aging like fine wine. Maturing and incorporating the same styled riffs from their older material. They’re going in a direction that seems natural
There is a very similar riff in "the distant blue" the last song on lflt
Man, these songs hit me straight in the feels. This year has been so hard with my father in law being killed and one of my pets dying shortly after has me grasping for any sense of sanity. Luckily, this album dropped and though I m still having to fight to breathe, it helps hearing such raw emotions that I can relate to. I break down and just cry when I hear the song Doomsday. So many regrets I have to live with for the rest of my life. Hopefully the band reads these comments and knows that this music helps us cope with the demons in our lives. Thank you.
My man i hope youre better now 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This song revokes so many feelings in me. Been having it on repeat all day, probably my favorite song throughout the whole year. Thank you Architects for yet another masterpiece. ❤️
as much as I like new architects, this sound is the reason why I love metalcore and that's why I miss it
Excelente, Architects como siempre manteniendo su forma!
Ojala se venga un nuevo video subtitulado
@@cristianvaldesgalaz8826 Para hoy lo tengo
la verdad es la cacion mas floja ah la fecha...................
@@LuisD.Rivera Excelente
Al inicio no me convenció, pero al ver la letra, me dejó obsesionado, tiene un toqué melancólico y queda genial en mi opinión
its beautiful the best band of the planet.... 🖤🖤
This hits harder than my abuela with her chancla!
haha true survivor
This is how you know their music is universally good
JAJAJAJ
yoboichris! m oml this had me dying
@Reny Sunrise what do you mean? Haha
First song i have heard from this band. Holy sh*t so amazing
To be one of the people who have grown up with them since the album ruin, it’s just awesome to get the goosebumps every time a new album comes out. TOM it’s been a great ride thank you so much for all you’ve done to move my heart. I love seeing the band progress every album. Keep it guys. R.I.P Tom Searle!
The feels and message coming from these singles are so powerful. The 9th can't come fast enough. Dat look at 3:02 tho. You know it's about to go down
I'm old. 44. Love everything from Richard Marx to Slayer to Tool and back. Heard it all until I listened to Architects for the first time. I can't believe how beautiful their music is. The lyrics and the music go hand in hand. I typically don't listen to lyrics because I'm a music guy but this stuff is off the charts. I can't wait to see you guys live. I'll be the one with tears in his eyes rocking out!!
almost every single these guys release... I break down in tears. I feel I can relate so much the shit cuts me deep man!
Aaron Belesky same here, amazing how much this whole album has that affect.
the best metalcore band of all time!!!!!! 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
We Used To Run With The Wolves , You're Right Sam , We Are So Lost Now!!
Sad that the most comments are about "bleh" and comparisons to other bands, while nobody seems to listen, that guys screams out his soul and no one is listening, only comments so far is yours and has only 14 likes, while all "bleh" comments have some hundrets, we are really lost, slaves of our own idiocy, the leaders are dead since a long time and only the sheeps keep on following old systems, idiologies and plans that are all against the sheeps.
@@Wilson84KS Thank You For Noticing Brother , This Track Is So Deep And We Need To Get It's Message Because I Can See Thier Effort Toward This Track , They Explore The Bitter Reality Of Nowadays!
Malkit Singh Captain Capital we meet again.
@@zachelliott7447 I Don't Understand Mate?
Good to see that an Indian listen metal music. I have some Indian friends and they only listen shit music. Cheers brother
so far, every song is a masterpiece, this band is out of this world!
I've have recently discovered this band and I'm a lil obsessed. I just love the raw emotion you can hear in Sam's voice along with the badass music being played. This is now one of my favorite bands of all time.
I love this song to death!Bringing in the feeling of emptiness right from the start!2:55 - that angry and so sober from reality guitar riff is a killer!God bless Architects for this majestic lifeline when they face tragedy of their own! You need to know you're not alone in this guys! Your music has enormous healing power!
I like it more than Royal Beggars but not as much as Hereafter. However, make no mistake, I love every song they have released so far. "We used to run with the wolves..." I interpret that as Mankind having strayed so far from our true nature. It's hard to judge a song from one listen. First impression is I love it. Will listen many more times. Can't wait to listen to the full album, from start to finish, over and over!
Gimme Dopamine i like how Sam appears as a preacher more than before, speaking up and bleeding for it in royal beggars, and here he even states that in song itself “i won’t go to the grave with a song still in me”
You’ve already heard the whole album, it was called Lost Forever // Lost Together.
Hereafter is probably my favorite song by them ever, not just for this album. Honestly wasn't that impressed with Royal Beggars, this song is decent though.
As soon as I read the "make no mistake" in your comment I had to think of the song Gravity. :D
@@havoren Original joke huhuhuhu fuck off
God protect this band. I am gonna grow old with this band. I can never stop listening to these great men.
I just started listening to these guys a few weeks ago and now I can't stop. The entire album has such aggression and meaning behind it, I love it
These lyrics hit hard, lots of folks waking up to this.
Yess.
I'm here everyday listen to this Masterpiece
They help me in my darkest days and make me feel alive in my brightest days.
Architects: Building my confidence and lifting motivation since I first started listening to them all those years ago.
Thank you guys \m/
Ребята спасибо что вы есть,каждое утро с вашими песнями поднимает моё настроение и заставляет идти вперёд! Жду новый заряженный альбом!
Дают енергию на вес ден 👍
Its refreshing to see a metalcore band that hasn't "Matured and evolved" into another pop-rock band. Looking at you BMTH, UnderOath
What did you said about Bmth!
😂😂
The square room Sam is singing in is the prison cell, mentioned in "this is a prison for lost souls"
Each member has something they are suffering from (addiction, pain, disease etc.)
The fog inside the room is a metaphor for the haze or cloud of confusion after losing a loved one
The dinner table is showing how people can ignore the suffering of others by distracting them
The TV crew that shows up as Sam is on his deathbed is supposed to be the people who
were supposed to be there for Tom during his final days
The grey room Sam is in could be symbolic of the purgatory someone is in during their dying days?
Of course these could all be just me over analyzing the visuals and the lyrics of the song but if you squint, it makes sense
Holy Hell is a fucking master piece, and hopefully they release a video for each song
Always producing the best lyrics. One of my favorite bands.
This song... its energy, its intensity, its emotion... and those fucking lyrics.... sparking a light in my heart.
I won’t go to the grave with the song still in me ❤️✌️
I showed this song my cat. Now its a tiger!
Lol!
wow that’s original
made my night hahaha
I showed this comment to my cat, it now has cancer.
and now it's dead
Makes a lot more sense now than ever before thanks architects!! Great show last year in Phoenix AZ never will forget!!🤓👍
I was at that concert
th-cam.com/video/653OrW7rupM/w-d-xo.html
2:05 is probably one of the most emotion filled lines in any of their songs, especially when Sam sings "Begging from my knees".
Architects kill it every damn time. It's amazing how the lyrics are always the best part of their master pieces. Second to none.
Good songs never trend
You guys are an absolute gift... this album is already amazing so far 🤘🏼🖤
Architects have been a band I grew up on back in Hollow Crown days. I first picked that album up in HMV at 16 back in 2010, and I fell in love with them on first listening.
It was energetic. It was melodically creative. It was honest. Something was different about them and as people. Taken me time to understand, and several listenings, but they grew on me naturally. And after every other album from HC, I had taken hiatus from them after The Here and Now. Then I started listening to them again at All Our God Have Abandoned Us. Honestly, it felt like they matured with me! They brought inspiration again... Until I heard about Tom. It hit me so hard. Still does to this day.
The amazing music he left behind when I was growing up... This will always be for Tom. Architects push boundaries. Holy Hell is promising. I feel hope in their progress. And it feels good to know that they are fighting back the grief with beauty and creativity. They’ve always been a huge inspiration. And now, they always will be.
I hope they heal from what they’ve experienced. I too lost somebody I loved last Christmas. They were a guiding light in my darkest nights.
I understand them. And they understand me. I connect with them musically and as a human being.
Architects, thank you for making a man happy whenever your music plays. You give insight.
“Momento Mori. Be mindful of death.”
Fav band. It's amazing that they keep getting better and better. Love you guys, your music is one of the best things i've ever heard. Thank you.
NEW ARCHITECTS > NEW HORIZON
Why do we have to choose one?
BaldyandtheOaf to provoke people like you?
BMTH is dead LUL. Dont even compare this legendary stuff to garbage
@@Majorkip agree
It was never a competition in the first place. BMTH blows now.
Here before it blows up 🖤
Did you notice that a channel here in TH-cam released it before @ 9 am? They deleted it instantly!!! Haha
Architects made me a stronger person today ! I will love this band till end.
One of the most talented metal bands. Vocal range off the hook. Ready for this CD release
I'm not quite sure, feel like I'm guessing way more than with "Royal Beggars" but I think I got my very own interpretation of what this track is about.
Throughout the video we have this glass-cube in which they all perform but Sam, who at some point towards the end has managed to break out of it - I believe this cube to symbolise a cage, putting your mistakes on display for everyone, being transparent to others, a 'messiah not wearing any clothes' (Reference to lines 3-4). The fact that Josh, Ali and Adam have in some way a connection to the computer or smartphone in the video and are not being shown to live outside of the that cube, somehow leads me to the thought, that this cage of glass is supposed to reflect our identity online. We are transparent, we are flawed without showing shame, we are naked in a very abstract way. And most importantly, we are caught in this image of ourselves on the web. "This is a prison for lost souls"
Then, there's Dan, who suffocates on the table with Ali facing him and not caring at all. It seems like the mobile in Ali's hands is not only distracting him from the situation, it became more important and hinders him from feeling empathy. He watches Dan die, stands up and takes pictures of the scene, rather than feeling connected to what's happening in any way. The whole verse "We planted a seed..." and so on seems to underline that once more. Josh is starting to bleed from the eyes in a very similar manner he did in "Royal Beggars", where he sat in front of a TV and smoked, Ali is on his phone, not quite yet effected by it. Adam is busy working, handing Josh stuff to do and thereby contributing to Josh's destructive behaviour (I mean, that sentence sounds weird but Josh is literally bleeding so I guess...). Adam too lives in the box but on a passive level, while it's slightly more of an active act for Ali, even more so for Josh who destroys himself.
On the other side we have the very frequently occuring picture of Sam with an arrow in his chest, hit like a hunted animal, like a wolf that has been shot down. 'Running with the wolves' to me stands for a more natural way of living than being caught in this horrific crate of glass and "now we can't see the forest" basically reminds us of how far we have strayed from living freely, how far from being wild and not killing ourselves. He is in his room, not falling for the destructive lifestyle - "I won’t go to the grave, with the song still in me, and I won’t live like a slave, begging from my knees". He lives with the pain, because he believes it is what's right and doesn't trust false 'emperors' or saviours.
That's all I got, I'm sorry for it being a bit rough and way to long. And now - please, someone finally explain to me what the sunflower in every room but the cage is supposed to mean...I can't make sense of it. Thank you all for reading and if you stuck with me, I really appreciate it. Of course this is just my take on the song, dunno if it's any better than guessing. Cheers!
I like this interpretation and I don't think it's far from what they wanted to tell. For the sunflower my guess is that it could represent nature. What's important here is that the sunflower is almost dead and the water is spoiled.
wajgl_neon Thank you very much! I appreciate it. The idea with the sunflower sounds reasonable.
I read your interpretation on Royal Beggars and I waited if you do interpretation on this new song and I am really impressed by this intepretation :) thank you for your time to write this because for me it is absolutely great to read about it and think more about songs :)
Peter Vereš Thanks mate, I really appreciate that! I love finding a deeper meaning of art for myself too :)
With so many people listening to rap, the hard hitting screamers are the reason that music is still good.
whats the problem with rap?
@@leventegyorgydeak1300 i think he's talking about all the "mumble" rappers people like nowadays. But for me I like this music and rap but rappers with real meaning in their music yk?
…you know screamers aren’t the only vocalists allowed on the scene, right
how good is this band every release is better and getting better
Architects keep on doing it. Every song is an amazing part of work. Love their style!
Best in their genre. Pure passion, true musicians, true people, real as fuck and all of their music hit me like a train.
I was a little scared about what would happen to the band after Tom's passing 'cause he was the principal composer and lyricist in the band, but they are keeping that good level from the last two albums and Josh Middleton was the best option to follow Tom's legacy... Tom would be proud of them, they're such an amazing band. Forever Tom, forever Architects.
Wow, how did Tom pass?

All these new songs are such a relief. I'm so happy Architects is evolving the way they are. Such an aesthetic.
Just thank you, Architects. You will be forever have a special place in my heart
Architects: we are buried by modern misery
Silent Planet: this is a love affair with consumer despair
great minds think alike
Lyrics hit with reality, there's not much hope left...
What i love about architects, is the anger, the emotions, the messages and the overall brutality they put in the songs. Hands down they are my favorite band to listen to 🤘🏻
This band is fricking amazing, I love what they stand for and they are coping so well with what happened Tom, guys never stop making music 🤘
