Architect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
His memory lives on forever and always in us.
Here we are again to celebrate the one we love.
Scream our throats red while we sing this song
The lyrics of Architect's song The Giving Tree are about celebrating the memory and life of someone who has passed away. The singer acknowledges the loss, but emphasizes the importance of keeping the memory of the loved one alive. The memory and love of the person that has passed will always be with us, and we can honor them through song and celebration. The last line of the chorus, "scream our throats red while we sing this song," brings a sense of passion and emotion to the lyrics, calling on listeners to join in the celebration and sing with all their heart.
The rest of the song continues with lyrics about the cycle of life and death, comparing it to the life of a tree. The tree in the lyrics is a representation of the person who has passed on, who gave endlessly to those around them. Even in death, the tree continues to give in the form of new life, as it becomes a home for animals and is eventually turned into soil, which new life can grow from. The lyrics seem to suggest that the person who has passed away is also continuing to give, through the memories they have left behind and the impact they had on those around them.
