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.
Early Grave
Architects Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't sleep since I stopped caring
I can't sleep since I stopped caring
I'll stay out until my lungs bleed
And I can't tell daylight from streetlights any fucking-more
As he cast his shadow
I've seen this road a thousand times and I can't look back
This is so unfamiliar, death is no man's friend
And I'll stay here until I hear him roar
Death is screaming my name
Yet I refuse to listen
I refuse to listen to listen to him
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
To listen
I'll stay out until my lungs bleed
And I can't tell daylight from streetlights any-fucking-more
As he cast his shadow
I've seen this road a thousand times and I can't look back
And I've seen this road a thousand times and I can't, I'm not looking back
I can't sit here forever
Watch me rise again
Watch me rise back up
Forever would just be so easy to fall into
Forever would just be so easy to fall into
Yet I'll stay out until my lungs bleed
Forever is the easy option but I won't take it
I won't take it, no
The choices I've made will lead me to an early fucking grave
Death is screaming,
Death is screaming,
Death is screaming, my fucking name
The song 'Early Grave' by Architects is a deeply introspective and powerful piece that delves into themes of self-destructive behavior, choosing one's path, and dealing with the inevitability of death. The singer is overwhelmed with a sense that they've been away for too long, feeling detached from the world around them, and unable to sleep. They've stopped caring and are willing to push themselves to the brink of exhaustion as they gradually become consumed by their own self-destructive impulses. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and a desire for something that seems unattainable.
The singer is haunted by the idea of death and feels like it's coming for them no matter what they do. They hear it screaming their name, but they refuse to listen. They want to keep pushing forward, to rise back up again, and to avoid the easy option of forever. Although the choices they've made may lead to an early grave, they're determined to face their own mortality on their own terms.
Perhaps one of the most powerful aspects of this song is its raw honesty. It acknowledges that life can be difficult and that we often struggle to find our place in the world. But it also offers a sense of hope, that even in the face of death, we can choose to live fully and authentically.
