In 2013, Architects parted with Century Media, self-releasing the documentary One Hundred Days: The Story of Architects Almost World Tour and joining Epitaph Records. They released their sixth album Lost Forever // Lost Together through the label in 2014, achieving widespread critical acclaim which has lasted since. Soon after the release of their follow-up All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us in 2016, principal guitarist and songwriter Tom Searle died after three years of living with skin cancer. In September 2017, the band released the single "Doomsday"—the last song that he was working on before his death—and announced Josh Middleton of Sylosis as their new lead guitarist. The single is included on their new album Holy Hell, which was released in November 2018 and is their first written without Searle.
All members of the band are vegan, having turned to veganism after watching several documentaries on the subject. They also promote the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, with Carter being one of its British ambassadors.
2) Architects was a screamo/emo-violence band brought up with members of Austin, Texas' own Toru Okada. Now known as the band Faithealer. Members went on to form, join or were in Body Pressure, Esclavo, Mindless, Askela, Hatred Surge, Chest Pain, Breathing Problem, Captive, Concave / Convex, Country Club, Interior One, Mental Abortion, The Snobs, Total Abuse and White Dog.
3) Architects (also ArchitectsKCMO) is also the name used by a Kansas City Soul Rock band who've released 4 albums (Keys To The Building 2005, Revenge 2006, Vice 2007 and The Hard Way 2009). They were formed from the ashes of Hellcat Records (and later Thick Records) Ska/Pop/Rock band The Gadjits. The Architects sound is a mature version of the later Gadjits material, dropping all ska influence for a Springsteen & The Who sounding rock approach. They are currently signed to Skeleton Crew Records.
All The Love In The World
Architects Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause we're balancing between the sky and fire
I see you begging for another taste
When the medicine is easy to acquire
We worship at the altar of the echo
But the keeper of the keys couldn't care any less so
Let go, let go, let go
Nothing to see here, it's under control
The signal's dropping out
It never rains, it's always fucking torrential
They say it's best that we forgot our potential
Have we nothing left to sing about now?
Do I really wanna shout about
All the love in the world?
All the love in the world
All the love in the world
All the love in the world
If you wanna lay it all to waste
Then repeat the message coming down the wire
I'm seeing apathy all upper case
Are you gonna be another gun for hire?
Eleven hours then a hail Mary
Can you shed another tear for the bodies that you bury?
Bless the empty with the devil they desire
Let's live a lifetime out in the cold
Nothing to see here, it's under control
The signal's dropping out
It never rains, it's always fucking torrential
They say it's best that we forgot our potential
Have we nothing left to sing about now?
Do I really wanna shout about
All the love in the world?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
The signal's dropping out
If we're all machines then cut the scene
And don't look back
No, we never grieve our enemies
We never leave the pack
If they come for me when I'm asleep
Trace these tracks
'Cause impossibly, we came to be
From out the black
Let's live a lifetime out in the cold
Nothing to see here, it's under control
The signal's dropping out
It never rains, it's always fucking torrential
They say it's best that we forgot our potential
Have we nothing left to sing about now?
Do I really wanna shout about
All the love in the world?
All the love in the world
All the love in the world
All the love in the world
The lyrics to Architects' song "All The Love In The World" delve into themes of societal apathy, a disconnect from emotions, and the search for love and purpose in a cold and controlled world.
The opening lines, "Is thunder written on your face? 'Cause we're balancing between the sky and fire," suggest a sense of tension and instability. It could be interpreted as a metaphor for the delicate balance between chaos and control in our lives. The mention of begging for another taste of medicine signifies a desire for escape or relief from the struggles of life, but also highlights how readily available distractions and numbing agents can be.
The next set of lyrics, "We worship at the altar of the echo, but the keeper of the keys couldn't care any less so, let go, let go, let go," criticize the modern tendency to prioritize virtual connections and superficial validation over genuine human connection and emotional depth. The reference to the keeper of the keys suggests a lack of control and indifference from those in power. The repeated phrase "let go" perhaps urges the listener to release their attachment to these hollow distractions and seek genuine experiences.
The chorus expresses a sense of resignation and cynicism, as it suggests that we have forgotten our potential and have nothing left to sing about. The lyrics "Do I really wanna shout about all the love in the world?" question the worthiness of expressing love and compassion in a world that seems to have lost sight of their significance. It reflects a frustration with the lack of love and empathy present in society.
The bridge delves into a more personal struggle with apathy and a detachment from emotions. It mentions wasting away and the repetition of messages suggests a numbing repetition of negative influences. The line "Bless the empty with the devil they desire" could imply a criticism of those who choose to fill their emptiness with destructive behaviors or values.
In the final verse, the lyrics reflect on the idea of being machines in a controlled world. The mention of not grieving enemies and never leaving the pack reveals a sense of conformity or a lack of individual thought. The lines "If they come for me when I'm asleep, trace these tracks, 'cause impossibly, we came to be from out the black" imply a resilience and determination to overcome adversity and find meaning even in the darkest moments.
Overall, "All The Love In The World" is a critique of the apathy and disconnection prevalent in modern society and a call to rediscover genuine love, empathy, and purpose amidst the cold and controlled environment. It encourages the listener to question the status quo and to pursue meaningful connections and experiences.
Line by Line Meaning
Is thunder written on your face?
Are you showing visible signs of anger or frustration?
'Cause we're balancing between the sky and fire
Because we're caught in a precarious position between heaven and hell
I see you begging for another taste
I notice your desperate desire for more
When the medicine is easy to acquire
When the solution is readily available
We worship at the altar of the echo
We idolize the repetition and echo of words without true meaning
But the keeper of the keys couldn't care any less so
But the person in charge is indifferent and unconcerned
Let go, let go, let go
Release your grip and surrender
Let's live a lifetime out in the cold
Let's live a lifetime without warmth or compassion
Nothing to see here, it's under control
There's nothing noteworthy happening, everything is being managed
The signal's dropping out
The communication is failing
It never rains, it's always fucking torrential
There is never a calm moment, it's always overwhelming
They say it's best that we forgot our potential
Others suggest that it is better if we ignore our capabilities
Have we nothing left to sing about now?
Is there nothing remaining to express through music?
Do I really wanna shout about all the love in the world?
Do I truly desire to express my frustrations about the lack of love in this world?
If you wanna lay it all to waste
If you want to destroy everything
Then repeat the message coming down the wire
Then continue spreading the same destructive message
I'm seeing apathy all upper case
I observe complete indifference and lack of interest
Are you gonna be another gun for hire?
Are you going to be someone who readily follows orders without questioning?
Eleven hours then a hail Mary
A brief moment of hope after a long period of struggle
Can you shed another tear for the bodies that you bury?
Can you show more sorrow for the actions you have taken?
Bless the empty with the devil they desire
Grant the empty and shallow individuals their destructive desires
The signal's dropping out
The communication is deteriorating
If we're all machines then cut the scene
If we are all just programmed beings, then end the act
And don't look back
And do not reflect on the past
No, we never grieve our enemies
No, we never mourn the losses of our enemies
We never leave the pack
We always remain together as a group
If they come for me when I'm asleep
If they try to harm me while I am vulnerable
Trace these tracks
Follow these footsteps as evidence
'Cause impossibly, we came to be from out the black
Because miraculously, we originated from darkness
All the love in the world
Every ounce of love present in this world
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Exclamatory sound or expression of surprise or awe

This is this album’s “Libertine” - a song which isn’t probably going to get talked about enough but, for me, is one of the standout tracks on the album. Super catchy and that “whoah” bit is heavenly.
@markthedark595
It reminds me a lot of Meteor especially with the "woah" bit. The whole song has an early to mid 00s hard rock sound with an electronic spin. I'm just waiting for someone to make an AMV using this song lol
@mattstrom9239
Definitely different. But that’s music! Evolve!! Love Architects!!
@LilacLunaXOXO
this is definitely one of the best songs on the album. I think this album as a whole is good but after listening to it in its entirety I feel like I barely remember it. a lot of the songs kinda blur together with similarity. I think this probably won't be such an issue when I get to know the songs better. its definitely an album that will get better as I listen to it more.
@thanosauce9128
I 100% agree, a lot of the songs are lacking, burn down my house had literal fucking jingle bells, but the stars of the album SLAP: tear gas, deep fake, spit the bone, and last but definitely not fucking least, be very afraid
@McYates24
agree
@archiji806
