Architects - Unbeliever Lyrics






Our story began in the heart,
In the heart of a star.
We've lost our way, forgotten what we are.
We are only particles in motion.
Floating through space, a destructive race.
What a destructive race.

Look at this life as a grain of sand, the blink of an eye, a world in your hands.
Look at this life as a grain of sand, the blink of an eye.
We're all thinking, feeling, surviving, believing
In what we think is right, refract distorted light.
You helped build this fire inside of me.
Breathing fire won't burn down the borders,
Set against everything that came before us.
All those things that you despise,
We all see through human eyes.

Thinking, feeling, surviving, believing
In what we think is right, refract distorted light.
You helped build this fire inside of me.
Breathing fire won't burn down the borders,
Set against everything that came before us.
There is no side for us to choose,
Bound together, we all win or all lose.

Look at this life as a grain of sand, the blink of an eye, a world in your hands.
Look at this life as a grain of sand, the blink of an eye, a world in your hands.

Oh, life is so short.
Take a moment to feel alive.
I know all we meant was to expand and to thrive.
But we sharpened our claws and we went to war.
With ourselves, with each other, with the rich and with the poor.
With anyone different, who believes in less or more.
Step out of the shadow, cast by left and right wings.
Take refuge in each other and the triumph that it brings.
Since we stood on two feet, we've been worth so much more.
Now tear down the walls, that were built to divide,
It's time to extinguish that fire,
That fire inside.

    Who's fucking cutting onions... Damn

  2. M.... A....

    A month ago I found out the first truly great love of my life passed away due to finding the cancer much too late. A beautiful, magnificent human being with the ability to see right through me. Everybody liked her, no one ever had anything bad to say. She was very socially sharp, incredibly funny, reliable above and beyond and most of all a leader with way too much heart. She was the one I hope I'd always come back to, eventually... She came back to me once after we'd stopped it all. She decided to come from Stockholm. She'd only pack her things and go back home, but she planned coming back to me all the time. It was a surprise. I was so fucking rigid, you know? I left her later that very same day. I turned my head to see if she walked away or still stood there... She was devastated. She still stood there crying and wondered why I'm walking away from everything. She was begging me to come back. She shouted that she knew I felt the same and sad because I will regret it one day. She said that if she left she'd never come back again. She was absolutely correct in everything she ever said to me. And that's the last time I ever saw my wonderful Alexandra. I am so incredibly fortunate that I met someone like Alexandra. Although it was less than three years being a couple of scientists exploring new worlds together, we were an exceptionally compatible and near perfect match. We were only 18 when we first met. She was the social magnet, the shining massive star of a huge group of friends. I was at my life's absolute peak and somewhere I just lost myself in life. Eventually I ended up losing her, too. And from that emptiness I lost the spark of life, and drug abuse was really just a matter of time. I will always have her in my heart and think of her at New Year's Eve. It will always be a tough one during New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve in 2003 - the biggest day of my life. It was the day we first met in real life. I couldn't hug her, I shook her hand and she laughed at me. She thought I was weird, I guess. I was too nervous. She was a brunette more beautiful than anyone I'd ever met, but then we hung out, we were trying sex and concluded both were way too drunk to make it into anything but an awkward teenage moment in the darkness backstage. It was a huge party with famous people that made me realize I was at something quite exclusive. And it was a big deal. I was the emo kid from afar, I was only let into the group 'cause she noticed me and we started connecting. It was a community of friends of indie fanatics. I listened to 90's emo like American Football. I came alone from the calm woods in the west. Only selected and invited had the possibility to be there. And I somehow got invited. There I was, a young dreamer feeling left out back home, finding the days of his lives in goddamn Stockholm. New Year's Day we went to our common friends place in Stockholm. We were sober, and we'd only get my things. We made it very special. The suffering and tragedy cancer brings never leaves once it strikes. It's forever a heavy burden to carry through life. The pain of losing a loved one kind of becomes a cancer in itself, but in the end we must cherish the memories we have with the ones that suddenly left, too soon or slowly faded away. Last I heard from ripple of whispers old common friends sent out, she was still the diamond I remember her to be. She never once strayed from being the most magnificent being. She kept her glory all the way to the end. Alexandra illuminated a rather dark world for a lot of people all of her life. She was the guiding light. Someone that emanated an embracing warmth and endless love that grows amidst people the most beautiful evening of a perfect summer season. We will miss the overwhelmingly selfless shining star that she was forever.

  3. B.... F....

    So fucking perfect. Thank you! ❤

  4. M.... H....

    Listen to this track on the daily T//S

  5. A.... F....

    Best song from Architect

    After losing sm1 you love more than yourself
    Feels good to listen

  6. C.... F....

    Fuck. I knew this song, but after watching this video, why tears in my eyes? Hit the heart right there. I absolutely love Architects. They talk about real things & how precious life is & how often we take it for granted.

  7. A.... ....

    I've never been able to listen to this song without crying. By the end, I'm a mess. Powerful song. Thanks for this video,

  8. M.... H....

    This was one of the best lyric videos i've ever seen.

  9. I.... ....

    This song is literally life changing. I can't overstate the impact that this band has had on my life. Their music is what gives me hope that things can change, that life can get better. Architects could quite possibly have saved my life. <3 you all, and look towards the future, the world can get better, but we have to fight for it, we can't simply just stand on the sidelines any longer. If you want to make the world a better place, then you have to step up and make it happen yourselves. Be friendlier, help people, volunteer and generally, just be a decent human being. Make the world just a little bit brighter, the value of that in itself, is worth more than anything else in life.

  10. L.... P....

    Amazing

  11. U.... ....

    I remember growing up and Michael Jackson sending this message out as the only pop artist. Now Architectects is the only band that makes me feel the same feelings. I hope everyone on earth sees this at some point in their lives hoping it can improve a sense of belonging and a feeling of beeing one.

  12. P.... ....

    when he talks about walls and borders i dont think of the divide between countries but the divide between each of us, the property line, and the walls of our houses

  13. A.... ....

    Truly a beautiful tribute to Tom ❤

  14. D.... M....

    Beautiful as fuck!

  15. J.... B....

    3:15-4:45 has to be one of the best moments in music history. The lyrics, the vocals, the melody. Everything about it is just beautiful. Makes me miss Tom even more. R.I.P. Tom!

  16. A.... B....

    Why did it take so long for me to find this song? Truly an underated masterpiece by Architects.

  17. b.... c....

    RIP Tom!

  18. R.... t....

    Your job is amazing TSArtwork.

  19. P.... V....

    Everest

  20. S.... X....

    How can I contact you?

  21. D.... L....

    You make the best lyrics video on YouTube, thank you so much <3
    This song is pure masterpiece that will live forever.

  22. R.... ....

    this song makes me think of my late father and how I'm trying to strive and live it out missing him. incredibly beautiful song

  23. S.... ....

    never took the time to actually listen to the words in this song until now. Made me cry, Tom was such a beacon of light <3 thank you for making this dude

  24. P.... B....

    I love your videos.

  25. s.... ....

    I would like this played at my funeral.

  26. A.... P....

    The ending part is one of the most powerful (and underrated) message that a song could tell.

  27. C.... B....

    First part nihilist then insparing

  28. T.... ....

    Whoa. I ecpected either only lyrics or some lameass literal picturisation but not like this. This increases the meanings the lyrics and the feelings of the melody. Deep but not cheesy, harsh but not rough. Good work.

  29. K.... ....

    Please bro do a video for Behind The Throne ;)

  30. P.... B....

    You made brilliant lyrics video, it was pleasure to me watching this.

  31. r.... s....

    Rest In Piece Tom.

  32. r.... s....

    I dont get why they sepperate Tom From architects . Tom was a part of architects wasnt he?

    r.... s....

    roy sniekers Tom died...

  33. s.... k....

    Can't believe Tom passed away

  34. A.... J....

    You're the best man.... You're lyric videos are the best I find!

  35. R.... ....

    Architects is like, the Universe decided to write music... and here it is!

  36. R.... S....

    this is fucking amazing!

  37. A.... ....

    Heart warming . Breath taking. AMAZING !!

  38. M.... A....

    I love you this. I'm constantly listening to this song to make it through the day. Rest in peace, Tom. Stay strong, Dan. I love you guys so hard!

  39. r.... ....

    Fucking phenomenal!

  40. S.... B....

    The only fire that needs to be destinguished is my mixtape ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  41. R.... M....

    Is sum beauty frm one my fave bands,it's awesome through a gd set earphones uo loud! Peace Tom Searle , no one can say u lived a short life just taken too soon!

  42. J.... E....

    This is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for this.

  43. M.... P....

    Thank you, man. Trully amazing!

  44. T.... G....

    Architects is more than a band, it's a movement! So powerful and meaningful, like you said. Great work, man, can't wait to see more.

    T.... G....

    Wow... Its good to know that I'm not the only one of us understands the meaning of this beautiful music...

  45. O.... ....

    We need this... now more than ever.

  46. R.... M....

    3:13 is absolutely genius (R.I.P. Tom Searle, you magnificent man). The way Sam Carter slightly changes how 'a world' to sound a bit aggressive, subtly warning the listener for the heavy unclean vocals part, is amazing. Woah, this song deserve a lot more recognition.

  47. Z.... B....

    Thx TONI, it's unbelievable. This song is wonderful and always grabs my soul and makes me thinkin' over things, existing and my life, and last I feel better. Watching your work and its perfection makes me happier even though Tom passed, cause I know he'd have liked this too. RIP TOM.

    Z.... B....

    Thank you so much for the kind words my friend! I am glad you enjoy my work as much as I love doing it :)

  48. T.... S....

    I'm just now getting into their older albums and I must say, I'm IN LOVE with this one.

  49. D.... R....

    Beatiful song deserves beautiful lyric video. Amazing work, keep up! Btw, which software do you use to make such videos?

    D.... R....

    Thanks a lot dude! I use Sony Vegas Pro 12 for my videos.

    D.... R....

    TSArtwork you're most welcome! 😊

  50. l.... ....

    Such a good video man. Do you do paid work for bands?

  51. F.... S....

    Well done. Yesterday I watched The Distant Blue and I have to say your videos are really great. Keep going!

  52. T.... L....

    Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder... Nature holds our once lost beauty. There is always time to regenerate. Forgiveness is always right there. Take it. Say you love the world, even if the darkness foreshadows across the lands, the skies, our minds. Have courage. There is time to heal. Revive one another. Hold each other. Cry for peace. Don't hold back. Believe in what is meant to be. Be kind to what lives through us all. We're all the same. Traits differentiate, but we're all the same living, feeling, creatures. The same atoms that binds us. Man to animal. Animal to man. Dreams and memories are our stories to pass on through generations to come. A millennia of our inspiration to unfold and discover. Until we reach through tranquility of our rest. Our deep sanctuary of peace when we become one within our own home, our Earth. The circle of life.

  53. M.... R....

    I feel more people should listen to this song through these tough times where people are divided more than ever.

  54. H.... M....

    This is the song people should be talking about today.

    "Step out of the shadow, cast by left and right wings.
    Take refuge in each other and the triumph that it brings.
    Since we stood on two feet, we've been worth so much more.
    Now tear down the walls, that were built to divide,
    It's time to extinguish that fire,
    That fire inside."

    The only thing anyone wants to do is vilify people who disagree with their political views. Whoever you support, you can learn something by listening to those who disagree with you. You've nothing to gain from attacking people.

    H.... M....

    I see it as our inherent and base inclination toward violence. "since we stood on two feet" is an evolution reference. I think it's saying that we used to be stupid aggressive creatures, and we still have that fire inside us that can be quick to anger. We need to move past that and understand that just because someone opposes us or our group that we do not need to see them as an enemy.

    H.... M....

    i had similar thoughts. to me the fire symbolized hate/aggression being acted out.
    but how does that align with "you helped build this fire inside of me" and the lines building up to that one?

    H.... M....

    ᅚᅚ ᅚᅚᅚᅚ it's too late but I'll try to write my thoughts. I think, "you helped build this fire inside of me" means that hate generates and breeds another hate in return.

    H.... M....

    But neonazis won't be discussed away. You gotta punch them. ;)

    H.... M....

    Even 2 years later, this song makes so much sense on what a destructive race we are, and coincidentally, speaking of "it's time to extinguish that fire", as I type this comment, the Amazon forest is burning

  55. E.... F....

    amazing tribute :,)

  56. l.... ....

    3:49 .. sneaky play button

    l.... ....

    0:32 too

  57. k.... ....

    I'm just curious how you make each video. Can you make a tutorial about this?

    k.... ....

    It's really just intense practice and a long time of messing around in each editing software. I've been asked for tutorials a lot and I've also been thinking about doing them, but it's really hard to decide where and how to start with them, because there are so many steps and different aspects of editing I do in my videos that it's really hard and time consuming to teach to people, especially if you are just starting at editing. It's way simpler to just mess around with the editing softwares yourself, maybe watch some tutorials while you're at it, and then when you get familiar with it you can start figuring out how you could do different things with the software.

  58. c.... ....

    I'm not crying, my eyes are sweating, that's all...

  59. J.... ....

    What? I'm not crying, you're crying.

    J.... ....

    I'm not crying 😭 its just my eyes watering more than usual

  60. D.... C....

    omg 0 dislikes. this makes me so happy, cuz they deserve!!!!! RIP Tom ♥

    D.... C....

    Dont Care not anymore :(

    D.... C....

    The amount of dislikes on this video is the same amount of likes you have on this comment... Coïncidence?? i think not.

    D.... C....

    You should NEVER comment this! Didn't you learn this?

  61. 4.... ....

    wow. perfect!

  62. R.... ....

    love your videos man!

  63. J.... A....

    Shit, I think this issue is more than enough inspiration for what to do with my life ... I love this band .. <3

  64. J.... F....

    Which Software do you use for your videos?

    J.... F....

    I use Sony Vegas Pro 12 for my videos

  65. A.... M....

    fucking beautiful work

  66. G.... ....

    If someone wanted you to make them a video like this for one of their songs, how much do you charge?

  67. R.... A....

    This song has always made me cry, and now that Tom is gone and with this video... Damn it, thanks for this.

  68. t.... ....

    This is what heavy music was meant to be. beautiful.

  69. F.... ....

    One of my favourite songs as well. It inspired me too many times when everything went wrong

  70. S.... M....

    Amazing art mate! really good stuff

  71. A.... ....

    This. Is. Art. By far the most creative and heartwarming lyric video I've seen. Keep this hot stuff up! Cheers.

    A.... ....

    A.... ....

  72. H.... ....

    Thanks a lot my friend! You too!

    E.... B....

    TSA artwork how much do you charge for a music video sir?

  77. N.... ....

    Life is so short... Take a moment to feel alive

  78. I.... V....

    Awesome dude!!!

  79. E.... J....

    UNBELIEVABLE (geddit?)

  80. A.... K....

    I've watched two of your Architects' videos and they gave me some heavy chill of inner enlightenment and delight as well. Thank you for your work and your personal devotion to Architects.

  81. H.... D....

    Great job, I had chills when the "life is so short" part kicked in

  82. H.... D....

    I'm afraid they will not be able to put out deep songs like this one.... But I have faith in them and the future of Architects without Tom =´/.... also Naysayer, Castles in the Air, Gone with the Wind, Memento Mori, Deathwish, From the Wilderness go right in this meaningfull Architects songs category... along with Alpha and Omega, These Colours, Black Blood...and many more...IMO

    H.... D....

    Do you think they will still be putting songs out in the future? I'm not really sure as Tom wrote basically everything, or am I wrong?

    H.... D....

    @MrMylolman99 Not so the instrumentation but also the lyrics, was all about Tom, but maybe what I'm more worried about is for the lyrics, as a fan of Architects lyrics....but as they've been together for more than a decade and the things they believe and stand for is almost the same for every member, I believe they can work out on the lyrical aspect too..

    maybe the composition will be the hardest part.. who knows... but to any of this happen they will need to have this motivation within themselves, which I also don't know if they will have....

    so, we just have to wait and see what's next... as Tom himself said about the band, "we never know what's coming next"

    H.... D....

    ok, thank you for the explanation, I really hope they go on :)

    H.... D....

    I believe they can continue to make music in Tom's honor even though he's not here to contribute his genius anymore. I want to see them at least try. But if it comes to it, I'd hate to see them call it a day, though if they do I'd understand why. I really hope they'll continue to create after they're upcoming US tour.
    Their first ever headliner in the US, I think? Tom would be proud.

    H.... D....

    well we got Doomsday, which is amazing

  83. Y.... M....

    wow dude...amazing ^^ thanks for the video and the song!

  84. H.... ....
