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.
DAYBREAK
Architects Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Separation from what we know is right
The Wind was taken us in the wring direction
It's about time we show some disaffection
Carry the weight of thousands of years
Turn the page
Lets make it all disappear
We've had enough of inhibited progression
we're insulting our own intelligence
I won't listen without any evidence
I'll live my life in the name of no one
Bow your head
Palm to palm
Worship here in this celebral cathedral
As day breaks,
The sunlight heals,
As day breaks,
The light reveals
Navigation in nautical twilight
Separation from what we know is right
It feels to me like this boat is sinking
Weighed down by rational thinking
It feels to me like this boat is sinking
Weighed down by rational thinking light begins to pierce the distance
Solar dawn relieve the friction
Blue hours quicken the pulse
Upon the upper edge, reality dawns
Light begins to pierce the distance
Solar dawn relieve the friction
Light begins to pierce the distance
Solar dawn relieve the friction
"Daybreak" by Architects is a song that speaks about the importance of breaking away from societal norms and expectations. The lyrics express a desire to break free from the constraints of current systems and make a change. The idea that we may be navigating through life in the wrong direction and trying to be 'rational' is presented as something that is weighing us down. The song suggests that instead, we should let go of these societal norms and show some disaffection in order to progress.
The lyrics also emphasize the theme of enlightenment that comes with the breaking down of societal norms. The "cerebral cathedral" mentioned in the lyrics refers to the mind or consciousness, symbolizing the importance of self-realization and internal enlightenment. The light breaking through symbolizes clarity and understanding, relieving the "friction" of confusion and lack of direction.
Overall, "Daybreak" is a powerful and stirring song that encourages individuals to break away from the forces of societal norms and expectations and pursue their own paths of enlightenment and progress.
