Naysayer Lyrics

Naysayer

This was released as the lead single from Lost Forever // Lost Together, the sixth album released by Architects. Drummer Dan Searle told HMV.com : "The drums are a total nightmare. I was hoping it was going to be an album track we'd never play live and it'd be track nine or 10. But then Sam put his vocals on it, did an amazing job, now it's lead single and we're going to be playing it for the next five years. Brilliant."

Guitarist Tom Seale commented: "Bit of a barnstormer this one, we were really excited when we wrote the chorus, because it sounded a bit Nu Metal. It was an important one to get right because it kind of defines the way the album sounds a bit, we wanted to build it around that sound."

Vocalist Sam Carter told Kerrang! the song is a statement to the band's critics. "When we had all gone vegan and delved into the world of politics, we had a lot of backlash," he explained. "We had people tweeting us saying they were never going to support us again and this song was our response. It was us saying, 'F--k you, we're not singing about these things to make friends, this means something to us."

Carter recalled the filming of the song's music clip: "We shot the video in an old aircraft hanger near London, and it was f--king freezing. We shot all day, and then the last few takes we did it with this pink talcum powder on us. They would literally chuck it at us while we were performing, and you're thinking, 'P--s off! It's in my face! It was going in my mouth and up my nose!"

The Devil Is Near Lyrics

Hey, hey
They live this day and night.
This is sacrifice, no fucking compromise.
Hey, hey
They have the heart to resist.
While the hunters hunt, they will persist.

This is where tragedy is bought and sold.
It seems their pain is worth it's weight in gold.
You know they're here when the water is red.
Our fading life support is hanging by a thread.

A message etched on broken ships.

Hey, hey
They live this day and night.
This is sacrifice, no fucking compromise.
Hey, hey
They have the heart to resist.
While the hunters hunt, they will persist.

And you can hear them cry, they're calling out,
To their mother lost, she's bleeding out.
She's bleeding out.

Their innocence is heaven sent.
Their malevolence, it will not relent.
A graveyard sits upon the shore.
They won't swim together anymore.

The tide will rush with waves of fear.
Selling souls, The Devil Is Near.
The tide will rush in waves of fear.
Selling souls, the devil is near.
The devil is near.

"If we're gonna survive on this planet, we have to
Respect the rights of all those species to survive.
'Cause we need them more than they need us."

A message etched on broken ships.
We'll be here til corruption quits.
There is a voice, though they cannot speak.
Not yet ready to admit defeat.

You can hear them cry, they're calling out,
To their mother lost, she's bleeding out.
You can hear them cry, they're calling out,
To their mother lost, she's bleeding out.

Their tragedy is bought and sold.
It seems their pain is worth it's weight in gold.

The Devil Is Near

This high-energy cut is about Sea Shepherd, an American nonprofit marine conservation organization that the Architects are really passionate about. Vocalist Sam Carter explained to HMV.com : "Sea Shepherd basically do the best they can to protect the oceans, they try to protect all marine life, they're amazing, passionate people who put their lives on the line."

The song samples Canadian environmental activist Paul Watson, who founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. The band found the clip online.

Red Hypergiant Lyrics

Red Hypergiant

This instrumental threads a sample of a voiceover from a Carl Sagan film through an oceanic wall of sound. Guitarist Tom Searle commented to HMV.com : "It's an odd one, we don't have many instrumentals. It was originally half a song, but it was too weird for us. It's named after the biggest known star in the universe, we saw a picture of it once and it kind of reminded us of the scale of everything."

Colony Collapse Lyrics

Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in.
We brought the battle, we saw the signs,
We've found ourselves two steps behind.

I'm counting days like they're running out.
There's ghosts in the water, so pray for drought.
(pray for drought)

This time there's nowhere to hide.
We're facing the firing squad side by side.
1986. This is full relapse.
Our latest apocalypse.
This is Colony Collapse.

Give us the rope and we'll tie our own noose.
We truly believed all we touched turned to gold.
We were warned but we wouldn't be told.

I'm counting days like they're running out.
There's ghosts in the water, so pray for drought.

This time there's nowhere to hide.
We're facing the firing squad side by side.
They said the ocean's on fire.
Say it isn't true.
Say it isn't true.
The truth never hurt so much.
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?

1986. This is full relapse.
Our latest apocalypse. This is colony collapse.
Colony collapse.

Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in.
Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in.

They said the ocean's on fire.
Say it isn't true.
Say it isn't true.
The truth never hurt so much.
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?

This time there's nowhere to hide.
We're facing the firing squad side by side.
They said the ocean's on fire.
Say it isn't true.
Say it isn't true.
The truth never hurt so much.
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?

1986. This is full relapse.
Our latest apocalypse.
This is colony collapse.

Colony Collapse

This song is about The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, which caused a series of ongoing equipment failures, reactor meltdowns, and releases of radioactive materials following the TŠhoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. Guitarist Tom Searle told HMV.com : "Two reactors have gone down, there's one remaining, if that goes then it'll be complete disaster for Japan. It's a tragedy that doesn't seem to have made it anywhere near the media."

Vocalist Sam Carter commented: "We worked on it for a long time, we knew we had to get it really right or not do it at all. We worked particularly hard on this one."

Youth Is Wasted On The Young Lyrics

The past is dead.
I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace.
The past is dead.
I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace.

If we stop the clock, will I reappear?
Pulled from the drift, there goes another year.
The stars align, the planets shift.
All the infinite moments that we've missed.

There's parts of me that are lost forever.
At least we're all lost together.
We all remember youth like it's dead and gone.
Like our favorite line from a forgotten song.

I'll show you my hurt and I'll show you my heart.
A life lost in the dark.

The past is dead.
I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace.
The past is dead.
I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace.

When I reach the end, will I beg for more?
Will I look back, or step through the door?
I stand beneath a monolith.
Do you ever feel like you won't be missed?

There's parts of me that are lost forever.
At least we're all lost together.
I heard that this was only a ride.
So there's no worth in waiting for death to arrive.

All we are, is just a name, it's all we are.
Our skin, it shows, these crippled bones.
Youth sinks alone.

All we are, is just a name, it's who we are.
Our skin, it shows, these crippled bones.
Youth sinks alone.

I'll show you my hurt and I'll show you my heart.
A life lost in the dark.

There's parts of me that are lost forever.
At least we're all lost together.

There's parts of me that are lost forever.

Youth Is Wasted On The Young

Guitarist Tom Searle told HMV.com : "It's about that scary feeling when you know you're not a kid anymore, facing the future, compromising on what you love, social pressure."

His brother, drummer Dan Searle, added: "Me and Tom started this band when we were 16 and we still get asked 'When are you going to get a real job?' It's about dealing with that all the time."

The Lost Forever // Lost Together album title is borrowed from one of this track's lyrics. Tom Searle: "It's where the inspiration for the album title comes from, everyone goes through this, fearing growing old, but at least we're going through it all together."

Murray MacLeod from the Xcerts added additional vocals to this track.
