A fusion of multiple styles - principally minimal techno, glitch and drum'n'bass, Architect can probably best be described as something like Future Drum’n’Bass. The slow tempo of the tracks and the occasional long vocal sample combined with strong insistent rhythms renders the music suitable for both listening and dancing.

Not to be confused with the UK’s “Architects”, Architect perfect a burly, chunky and politically driven sound in the vein of Eyehategod, Crowbar, Coalesce, Curl Up and Die, His Hero is Gone and Isis.

Set My World on Fire
Architect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why under my heart? My blood stains you
I really don’t want you to taste my faults
They say the world is coming to an end
God is laughing while we make our little plans
How desperate we are
One day comes after another
There’s no reason to stay
And you still want to come
Not a perfect choice
But this is how we function, isn’t it?
Why did you choose me?
I’m selfish and unbounded
I want it all for myself
I might involve you in things you don’t like
Things that aren’t like you
I’m probably not your person
Aren’t you afraid of it?
Aren’t you afraid of light?
The world you’re about to enter
Aren’t you afraid of pain?
Well, I am
But maybe I’m wrong
Your arrival will burn all to the ground
And a new world will begin with you
I’ll take off my skin which I’m tired of wearing
And I will grow a new
You know everything, don’t you?
You don’t fear the pain, do you?
You are more than we ever believed
We’re blinded by fallibility
Lost our curiosity
We have to refind the world in you.
The lyrics of Architect's song "Set My World on Fire" explore themes of self-doubt, fear, and the desire for change. The singer questions the motives of a person they love, wondering why they would choose someone as flawed as themselves. They express a fear of the pain that comes with change, but ultimately hold out hope that this person will bring about a new world and a new self.
The opening lines, "Where will I find you? Why under my heart? My blood stains you," set a tone of unease and uncertainty. The singer is grappling with the idea that they are not worthy of love, and that their flaws will inevitably harm the person they care for. The line "God is laughing while we make our little plans" suggests a feeling of hopelessness, as if even the grandest human ambitions are ultimately meaningless in the face of a higher power.
The chorus, "Your arrival will burn all to the ground / And a new world will begin with you," suggests that the person the singer loves has the power to inspire a moment of transformative reckoning. The line "I’ll take off my skin which I’m tired of wearing / And I will grow a new" suggests a willingness to shed old identities in order to embrace something new and potentially painful. Overall, the song suggests that transformation is possible, but only through a willingness to confront the painful reality of our own flaws.

Where will I find you?
Where can I discover you?
Why under my heart? My blood stains you
Why do I feel you deeply inside? I am forever marked by our connection
I really don’t want you to taste my faults
I'm afraid to show you my flaws and imperfections
They say the world is coming to an end
There are rumors that the world is nearing its conclusion
God is laughing while we make our little plans
Our attempts at control are insignificant compared to divine power
How desperate we are
We are so needy and yearning for something beyond ourselves
One day comes after another
Time moves forward, day after day
We still don’t find our way
We are still lost and searching
There’s no reason to stay
We feel like we have no purpose or motivation to continue
And you still want to come
Despite all of this, you still want to be a part of my life
Not a perfect choice
I am not the best option or decision
But this is how we function, isn’t it?
This is how human relationships work, right?
Why did you choose me?
What made you pick me out of everyone?
I’m selfish and unbounded
I have a tendency to put myself first and not be limited by rules or expectations
I want it all for myself
I desire to have everything to myself and not share
I might involve you in things you don’t like
I could potentially drag you into situations you find unpleasant
Things that aren’t like you
Things that contradict your values or preferences
I’m probably not your person
I may not be the right match for you
Aren’t you afraid of it?
Aren't you scared of the unknown?
Aren’t you afraid of light?
Don't you fear exposure or being seen as you truly are?
The world you’re about to enter
The environment you are soon to become a part of
Aren’t you afraid of pain?
Are you not frightened of the hurt and discomfort that might come?
Well, I am
Because I definitely am
But maybe I’m wrong
Perhaps I could be mistaken
Your arrival will burn all to the ground
Your arrival will completely revolutionize and transform everything
And a new world will begin with you
A fresh start and change will emerge with your presence
I’ll take off my skin which I’m tired of wearing
I'll discard the façade I've grown weary of projecting
And I will grow a new
I will begin again and develop something different
You know everything, don’t you?
You are aware of so much, aren't you?
You don’t fear the pain, do you?
You aren't intimidated by pain, are you?
You are more than we ever believed
You exceed our expectations and surprise us
We’re blinded by fallibility
Our imperfections prevent us from seeing things clearly
Lost our curiosity
We have given up our sense of wonder and desire to inquire
We have to refind the world in you.
We must rediscover and regain our appreciation for the world through you.
