Lyrics
we’re separated by a margin of a greater degree
the same flesh and blood but in a different lane
i read the remedy too but my words, they still sounded the same
when we were young
we thought we had the whole world figured out
now all we do is speak in tongues
we play a losing game
only now we hear the shouts fading out
we flew into the sun
i’m dedicated to the shadow that’s been following me
it caught me counting the cards
i guess the rules remain
oh it was heavenly then
but the devils were calling my name
is there something in your eye?
did you fall or were you just on a high?
everybody’s so afraid they could die
but they never once said
thank god we’re alive

I noticed that this video is visually pleasing and balanced because the vocalist continuously turns facing the camera even when the rest of the band don't. Interesting.

[@titfacemcgruff4166]

Right? I was thinking that too lol He's very in tune with the camera and definitely takes the video to another level!

[@quincymb8576]

Didn't think about that until you said that, but its true. It's a nice and simple addition to the live-performance music video.

[@titfacemcgruff4166]

One take videos aren't very easy to pull off at all. It only takes one little slip up and there goes the whole thing since it's literally just one continuous shot without any pauses or jump cuts. Nothing but pure talent coming from these guys. Flawless Victory...

[@SlevinKalevera]

AND he rotated enough one or two ways, then reversed, all while facing the whole time (so the XLR cable didn't get twisted around the stand too much) LEGIT

Woah I didn't even notice that. Damn that's sick.

Lost my brother, Josh, on the 12th of March this year. This is the only band we haven't seen together while being one of our favorite bands. I had Hereafter play last at his funeral service. This music is not as mainstream as it should be and the expressions on people's faces were something we both would have laughed at together while the service was in session. Thank you Architects for being an inspiration, promoting reassurance/self-progression speaking on all levels of struggle/corruption. Can't wait to mosh with you. 🤘 RIP Josh Lawless. Edit: I'd like to sincerely thank everyone for their kind words and condolences. Was not expecting this many people to respond. I love you all so much🖤💛🖤

[@uno3863]

God bless you , Architects are on a whole nother level, my condolences to you and your family 🙏🙏

man i fucking love this band. i remember Rise Against had a song named 'Architects', with the line 'and don't you remember when we were young?". it might just be a coincidence, but on the b-side of Daybreaker Architects named a song 'Rise Against', so... who knows? new track is awesome either way.

[@julienschryve1883]

Don't think this one is related haha They also toured together during the endgame/daybreaker era :)

The Abbey Road version of their latest album is so much better than the original I thinks.

I love this band. Every album and every progression. These guys and Northlane I never stop supporting.

[@brandoncooke6564]

Northlane is fucking fire! I always will love Architects, and their last album was okay, and this song is cool, but Tom was so essential to their writing process. It's the missing piece right now in my opinion... I guess what I would consider the lead guitar parts he used to do. Just so unfortunate.
