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.
Day In Day Out
Architects Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To tear down years of work
And we won't get these days
Back again (back again)
I can't understand why I've been put here
I'm stuck in a world of sympathy
With nobody watching over me
And the words roll over and over
Yet our hearts will never be lifted
Someone, tell me how I've ended up here
With nobody watching over me?
We need to bring back the days we used to love
Before all the color drains away
I can't understand why I've been put here
I'm stuck in a world of sympathy
With nobody watching over me
I can't understand why I've been put here
I'm stuck in a world of sympathy
With nobody watching over me
To all those not living in the here and now
To all those not living in the here and now
To all those not living in the here and now
To all those (sing it loud)
Where did they go?
The days we used to know
Where did they go?
Have I forgotten what it feels like?
Where did they go, where did they go
The days we used to know
Where did they go, where did they go
Have I forgotten what it feels like?
And the words roll over and over
Yet our hearts will never be lifted
Architects' song "Day In Day Out" laments the loss of joy and color in life due to the daily grind and monotony of existence. The opening lines suggest that it can take as little as a moment to undo years of hard work, signaling the fragility and uncertainty of life. The chorus expresses confusion and despair at being stuck in a world of sympathy, with nobody watching over the singer. The lyrics also highlight the repetition of negative thoughts and feelings, despite a pervasive desire for change.
The song touches on the idea that people often get caught up in routine and forget to appreciate the small moments of joy that give meaning to life. The repeated question, "Where did they go?" calls back to the title and expresses a longing for a return to the halcyon days of the past, where life was simpler and more enjoyable. The final line, "Yet our hearts will never be lifted," suggests a sense of hopelessness and resignation to the unchanging nature of life.
Overall, "Day In Day Out" conveys a sense of disillusionment with modern life and a yearning for something more.
Line by Line Meaning
It could take a second
Even the smallest event can destroy what took years to build
To tear down years of work
The destruction of what took years to create
And we won't get these days
Opportunities that are lost
Back again (back again)
Regret and nostalgia for the past
I can't understand why I've been put here
A sense of confusion and questioning of one's purpose
I'm stuck in a world of sympathy
Feeling trapped in a world of empathy and helplessness
With nobody watching over me
A sense of isolation and abandonment
And the words roll over and over
Repetitive thoughts that do not bring comfort
Yet our hearts will never be lifted
An inability to find joy and hope
Someone, tell me how I've ended up here
A plea for understanding and guidance
We need to bring back the days we used to love
A desire to recapture lost happiness
Before all the color drains away
Before all joy and vibrancy is lost
To all those not living in the here and now
A call out to those who are not present-minded
Where did they go?
Wondering where moments of happiness went
The days we used to know
Acknowledgment of lost happiness and simpler times
Have I forgotten what it feels like?
Questioning whether one has lost the sensation of happiness

back in the day i found that album too simple in contrast to the earlier works, looking back it was the perfect bridge between older and daybreaker - holy hell architects
