Architect
Empty My Lungs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
let me see those hands in the sky
let me hear you scream for something
you'd give your life
do you wanna die?
or choose to live forever?
divinity awaits the king
will you
find motivation, live out your dreams?
find dedication, forget misery?
let go of your fears?
can you cut free of your ties?
its your choice to decide
will you take back your own life
I'm done with feeling empty
I'm standing right back up
i refuse to let this entangle me
I'm done with bleeding my empathy
make a choice and stand back up
forgive yourself, just love
you're behind the wheel of your destiny
leave behind the people who watch you bleed
when your fire flickers
and barely stays alight
with proper care, if willing
we can rebuild, in time
yes this life is fleeting
but truth can give it meaning
believing without seeing
brings my heart beat new beginning
no
you'll never fall again
follow my voice and
let me take you in
born
i was born to lead
so as long as i breathe
ill help you find some peace
wrong
your thoughts betray you again
they might never stop
just don't let it sink in
life can thrive
even in darkness
if i fly and you get left behind
ill write a message in the sky that'll
be your guide
wake up
its time for you to go and live your dream so hear me,
stand up
you're running out of time so get on
your feet
wake up
you're dreaming that you're worthless
stand up
open your eyes

あなたが死ぬことを望むとき、あなたはあなたの心を交差させますか？
ハリケーンの奥深くで寝ていますか？
腕の中のIV、感じるのを忘れる
私たちは四つんばいで這っています
再臨でその剣に倒れますか？
灰とほこりを味わうよ
この世界は私たちの腕の中で死にかけているからです
今、車輪が回っています
惑星が燃えているなら、あなたは生き続けるために何をしますか？
あなたはあなたの地獄を現実にしたいですか？
彼らが呼吸することを敢えてするならば、若者のための黒い肺
（彼らが息をする勇気があるなら、すごい）
確かに私には天国のように聞こえます
あなたは雑草を殺すために根を切る必要があります
私たちが信じなければ行く場所はありません
（信じられないなら、すごい）
良い主よ、聖人を苦しめるのに十分です
私たちが神格化できるユダの操縦をください
ええ、私たちは皆、私たちが反逆者であるふりをします
だから私たちを洗い流し、ハローに絞首刑にされる
お辞儀をしなさい、 '時間がなくなるので
終わりが来ることは間違いありません
あなたは灰を味わうつもりです、あなたはほこりを味わうつもりです
この世界は私たちの腕の中で死にかけているからです
今、車輪が回っています
惑星が燃えているなら、あなたは生き続けるために何をしますか？
あなたはあなたの地獄を現実にしたいですか？
彼らが呼吸することを敢えてするならば、若者のための黒い肺
（彼らが息をする勇気があるなら、すごい）
確かに私には天国のように聞こえます
あなたは雑草を殺すために根を切る必要があります
私たちが信じなければ行く場所はありません
（信じられないなら、すごい）
良い主よ、聖人を苦しめるのに十分です
良い主よ、聖人を苦しめるのに十分です
愛を投稿し、真実を投稿し、正義は束縛される
そして、ギロチンの準備ができている黒い袋
彼らが尋ねるとき、私たちは皆有罪を認めることができます
「神々がフェニックスの翼を切り取ったとき、あなたはどこにいましたか？」
彼らはフェニックスの翼を切り取った
私たちはいつ愚か者と彼らの金、そして彼らのクソ契約から世界と格闘するのでしょうか？
お待ちしております
親愛なる人生を握っているときは十分でしょうか
あなたはあなたの地獄を現実にしたいですか？
彼らが呼吸することを敢えてするならば、若者のための黒い肺
（彼らが息をする勇気があるなら、すごい）
確かに私には天国のように聞こえます
あなたは雑草を殺すために根を切る必要があります

Do you cross your heart when you hope to die?
Are you sleeping deep in the hurricane?
IVs in the arm, forgetting to feel
We're crawling on all fours
Will you fall on that sword at the second coming?
You're gonna taste the ash and dust
'Cause this world is dying in our arms
Now the wheels are turning
What would you do to stay alive if the planet was burning?
You wanna make your hell a reality?
Black lungs for the young if they dare to breathe
(If they dare to breathe, woah)
Sure sounds like heaven to me
You've gotta cut the roots to kill the weeds
No place to go if we don't believe
(If we don't believe, woah)
Good Lord, it's enough to plague a saint
Give us a Judas steer we can deify
Yeah, we all pretend we're the renegades
So wash us away, garroted by a halo
Take a bow, 'cause time's running out
There's no doubt that the end is coming
You're gonna taste the ash, you're gonna taste the dust
'Cause this world is dying in our arms
Now the wheels are turning
What would you do to stay alive if the planet was burning?
You wanna make your hell a reality?
Black lungs for the young if they dare to breathe
(If they dare to breathe, woah)
Sure sounds like heaven to me
You've gotta cut the roots to kill the weeds
No place to go if we don't believe
(If we don't believe, woah)
Good Lord, it's enough to plague a saint
Good Lord, it's enough to plague a saint
Post love, post truth, justice lays bound
And black bagged ready for the guillotine
We can all plead guilty when they ask
"Where were you when the Gods clipped the wings of the Phoenix?"
They clipped the wings of the Phoenix
When will we wrestle the world from the fools and their gold, and their fucking covenant?
We'll be waiting
Will enough be enough when we're holding on for dear life
You wanna make your hell a reality?
Black lungs for the young if they dare to breathe
(If they dare to breathe, woah)
Sure sounds like heaven to me
You've gotta cut the roots to kill the weeds
No place to go if we don't believe
(If we don't believe, woah)
Good Lord, it's enough to plague a saint
It's enough to plague a saint
It's enough to plague a saint
It's enough to plague a saint
We can all plead guilty when they ask
"Where were you when the Gods clipped the wings of the Phoenix?"
Put through Google translate, so it's not perfect. But maybe you can listen along to it. Lol.

Architects is my favorite band ever but this song is fucking trash! Vocals have weird effects, lyrics are trash, breakdown is generic. I can write a better breakdown with my little toe and a midi keyboard with 2 keys. If you think this is Architects then you have never listened to their previous albums or seen them live. This song sucks even more than the first single!
