"Hereafter" by Architects from the album 'Holy Hell,' available now
Order at ffm.to/architects_holyhell
Lyrics
Now the oceans have drained out
Can I come up for air?
‘Cos I’ve been learning to live without
And I’m fighting with broken bones
I wasn’t ready for the rapture
We’re only passing through
But these words, they mean nothing to me
I know that time will mend this fracture
But I’ve been lost in a maze
And every route I take
Leads right back to you
Now the oceans have drained out
Can I come up for air?
‘Cos I’ve been learning to live without
And I’m fighting with broken bones
Now the skies have been blacked out
I’ve got to find my way
‘Cos it’s been raining but there’s a drought
And I’m fighting with broken bones
I’ve been searching through the wreckage
But it’s like standing in the eye of a storm
When will I finally get the message?
Some things are broken beyond repair
This is my cross to bear
My own meaningless catastrophe
I never had the time to prepare
Because I never knew that all my nightmares could come true
I’ve spent my fair share
In the deepest depths of despair
‘Cos I was too lost down there to care
I wasn’t braced for the fallout

Does anyone else get a distinct feeling of sadness and desperation out of this song? I have to admit that I'm not the biggest Architects fan in the world, but that this song is probably one of my favorite songs ever. I've been through an awful lot in my life (I'm 50 this year), and when my dad asked me the other day on the phone how I can continue to listen to this kind of music "at your age", I simply told him, "You hear how he sounds when he's singing? Like he's in pain and is hiding it through his music? That's pretty much how I feel at any given moment." Music like this gets me through the day, allows me to keep a smile on my face for my beautiful children, be kind and generous to my wife, love my fellow man, and defend my family to my last breath. Just a stellar song. Sheer perfection. 10/10 gentlemen. You have my respect forever.

+Jake Assimilate The difference is that it’s not just one or two songs an album, they have to make their ENTIRE album about criticizing religion.

@havoren Whats your point then? And they don't make entire albums that solely criticize religion. For example, "Gone With The Wind" was written by Tom Searle about his struggle with cancer. "Downfall" is about how we're progressing as a society will eventually lead to our demise. "Gravity" is about showing love and compassion to loved ones before its too late. Those songs are all from the same album. There's many different subjects in their lyrics

hussguy1990 I really really really hate to say it honestly but i think i'm in that old three group. honestly its saddening cuz obviously i get it that with tom passing it wasnt gonna be the exact same but architects were my fav band before, they had they exact metalcore sound that i've always searched for, with the almost never ending breakdowns and style of screaming. I really tried to like this song given how iv always loved architects so much for yea this sound just kinda isn't for me, this isn't the architects that first drew me in. :/ i did like doomsday tho so hopefully there will be other newer songs that im into

I love all the positive comments...literally no one is talking shit about this song and that's how you know this music is a legitimate masterpiece.

[@havoren]

+Joshua Curiale Nah, this isn’t a masterpiece at all. You’re right about it not being a bad song, but it sucks ass compared to Lost Forever // Lost Together and even All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us to an extent. It DEFINITELY doesn’t sound close to being as good as Hollow Crown either, it just sounds like a filler song to pad the album time length.

[@pierfrancescopoccianti5780]

This is your opinion. I believe that Architects have always improved, always making better songs, and this track is one of their best. It's way too emotional and beautiful, and, on my opinion, their old stuff can't top it

[@havoren]

+Pierfrancesco Poccianti This track is pretty simplistic to the point where it does NOTHING to make me feel ANY emotion. Maybe the lyrics hold some water, but the songwriting itself doesn’t. Compared to “The Distant Blue” or “Memento Mori”, this song PALES in comparison in terms of emotion to those tracks. And generally speaking, this song does NOTHING to improve on the Lost Forever // Lost Together sound that they’ve been going for. It’s just a fine song, it’s not a masterpiece and it’s definitely NOT better than their older material. That is a fact that cannot be disputed. With that being said, I’m glad you love it and I’m happy that you think the band has gotten better. It doesn’t bother me at all that you like their current music, it’s still good music at the end of the day.

[@pierfrancescopoccianti5780]

@@havoren I don't think what you are saying can be considered a fact. The only fact is that this band has not changed so much his style after the release of LT//LF but, even though I usually hate when a band doesn't change sound on every album, I think that in this case it's fine. Anyway it's all about personal taste: I'm glad as well if you like The Distant Blue or Memento Mori more, they are great masterpieces (just like Doomsday or Hereafter) and I totally understand you and your point. If you don't know them (but you probably do) check out Currents. If you like Architects, you'll love them for sure

[@havoren]

+Pierfrancesco Poccianti My problem isn’t that they’re changing their sound at all. My problem is that the songwriting pales in comparison to the songwriting off LF//LT with a few key singles being the exception. Yeah, “Doomsday” and “Hereafter” are still good songs but just like Northlane’s Mesmer, I’d rather listen to the first time they did that sound. Because the songs are catchy, more memorable, and don’t sound awkward like the new songs do. Regardless of that, thanks for understanding my feelings and not being a total dick like most people on the internet. And I’ll definitely check out Currents when I get the chance because I’m open to discover new music all the time.
