About This Track

'Daybreak' by Architects is a 2013 hard rock track from the album 'Daybreaker (Deluxe Edition)'. Its lyrics place the speaker in a twilight, nautical setting, pitching disorientation against the pull of what feels right. There is a sense of breaking away, of wanting to “turn the page”, and of frustration with inhibited progression. The song also leans into the idea of carrying long, heavy time, then discarding it in favour of some longed-for disappearance. Overall, it reads like a collective impatience turning into decisive, if grim, momentum.

"Daybreak" is a track by Architects, from the album Daybreaker (Deluxe Edition), released 27th May 2013. The track is 3:33 long. It's filed under Hard Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 11 articles about Architects.

Lyrics

Daybreak

Navigation in nautical twilight
Separation from what we know is right
The Wind was taken us in the wring direction
It's about time we show some disaffection
Carry the weight of thousands of years
Turn the page
Lets make it all disappear
We've had enough of inhibited progression
Held back by cloack and dagger oppression
we're insulting our own intelligence
I won't listen without any evidence
I'll live my life in the name of no one
Bow your head
Palm to palm
Worship here in this celebral cathedral
As day breaks,
The sunlight heals,
As day breaks,
The light reveals
Navigation in nautical twilight
Separation from what we know is right
It feels to me like this boat is sinking
Weighed down by rational thinking
It feels to me like this boat is sinking
Weighed down by rational thinking light begins to pierce the distance
Solar dawn relieve the friction
Blue hours quicken the pulse
Upon the upper edge, reality dawns
Light begins to pierce the distance
Solar dawn relieve the friction
Light begins to pierce the distance
Solar dawn relieve the friction
