The Architect
(Ah, nevermind that outer space stuff, let's get down to earth!)
What is the architect doing?
He is by the riverside
What is he thinking out there?
He is committing egocide
Now isn’t that a strange thing?
Well to him it feels just
Well we guess a person’s gotta do,
What a person feels he must
He said:
I won’t throw myself from the pier
I’m gonna go home and shut up for a year
And when that year is over I’ll reappear
And have a solution
I’ve reason to believe that what I find
Is gonna change the face of human kind
And all these years before well I was blind
That’s my conclusion
Cause I’m the architect
Now the man has understood
That outer space is overrated
About all the problems on this earth we should
Worry now to solve them later
And so he’s brooding and alluding on a perfect design
He thinks that working on behalf of himself is a crime
He ashes out by the water, a view so divine
He’s the architect of his own fate, a man in his prime
He said:
I won’t throw myself from the pier
I’m gonna go home and shut up for a year
And when that year is over I’ll reappear
And have a solution
I’ve reason to believe that what I find
Is gonna change the face of human kind
And all these years before well I was blind
That’s my conclusion
Cause I’m the architect
Cause I'm the architect
(I feel it's touch and go)
Cause I'm the architect
(I feel it's touch and go)
Cause I'm the architect
(I feel it's touch and go)
(That's it, we're going to make it)
(Don't let up)
(Don't let up or we won't make it)
(Don't let up)
(Don't let up or we won't make it)
And so he drew [himself] a pentagon
Thinking it through a geodesic dome
From the coast of Tahiti, to the hills of Rome
Step aside cause the man will take the Nobel prize home
He said:
I won't throw myself from the pier
I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year
And when the year is over I'll reappear
And have a solution
Now if these aspirations bother you
Well you are just you, you don’t have a clue
I’m sticking to the plan I will see it through
Let there be no confusion
Cause I’m the architect

muito bem!é sem duvida a melhor musica do novo album!
e a letra muito irónica adequa-se muito bem a alguns arqtos...
o resto do disco? que tal?
obg. aos dois
calhei d’ouvir isto e não resisti
não conheço o disco (e mal conheço a banda), mas o primeiro single (via you tube), do último disco não é nada de especial
ultimamente tem calhado muito disto... o primeiro single do último da madonna tb não me diz nada mas gosto muito do "Give It 2 Me"
esta musica dos dEUS é muito divertida, tem qualquer coisa da pop dos oitentas dos the Stranglers e é tão contagiante como a pop neo-oitenta do Living in a Magazine dos Zoot Woman
a letra é (quase) perfeita (há por ali um dois versos que "encaixam" menos bem) e quem quiser que enfie a carapuça! :)
eheheh o resto do dsco tb é bom... e aproveito para dizer q o concerto ultimo em paredes de coura foi muito bom e anunciaram mais 2 para este ano em portugal.. foi esta musica divertida que me levou a redescobrir os dEUS!
Vale a pena ouvir esta música enquanto se passa os olhos por este site:

Am,
EGOCIDE grande palavra :):):)
isso seria uma grande maldade... :)
fazer uns vídeos da música com "slides" (tipo "slide show"...) de alguns dos nossos cromos favoritos e espetar com eles (com os vídeos) no You Tube!!!
terrorismo arquitectónico! :)))
maria
tb gostei muito do "egocide" :)
na coluna da direita (se calhar já espreitou) tem um link para a bd do maaik, que vai muito pelo mesmo caminho "crítico" da letra do "the architect"
