"Blackhole" lyrics

"Blackhole"

Is there nothing but the cold at the centre of a black hole?
Oh
Ah, bitch

Ah, the signal fire's gonna burn out
Through the sirens and the flares
I was swallowed by the storm clouds
Hailstones on a glass house
There were diamonds in the air
And the oxygen left my chest

Lost souls trapped beneath this ceiling
It's figure-eight till the ghosts have been laid to rest
Pull it tight, try to stop this bleeding
Stampede as the horrors run through my head

Death stared, and I died a thousand times
Nightmares left a riot in my mind
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
Midnight, we cut the power lines
No light but the fire in my eyes
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?

Oh
Ah, bitch

Ah, sick of living with the pain now
Someone take me for repair
There's a bitter taste in my mouth
In the silence, there was ill health
Maybe life just isn't fair
Maybe I'm just fucking self-obsessed

Don't say I gotta chase this feeling
Bullets hit, but it's only gonna dent the vest
Wartime with the whole world sleeping
Bombs drop on the prison hope built instead

Struck down
Souls carried through an unknown universe
No service for the faithless, everything turns to dust

Death stared, and I died a thousand times
Nightmares left a riot in my mind
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
Midnight, we cut the power lines
No light but the fire in my eyes
Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?

There were diamonds in the air
And the oxygen left my chest
Is there anybody there?
I pray that I'll be blessed

Heaven to Earth, God only knows if we're here in spirit
Chapter and verse, there's nowhere to go when the sky is the limit
Reign, reign
Is there nothing but the cold at the centre of a black hole?
Heaven to Earth, God only knows if we're here in spirit
Chapter and verse, nowhere to go when the sky is the limit

"Blackhole" is the fourth single from Architects' studio album "The Sky, The Earth & All Between". The song was premiered on January 14, 2025, accompanied by the cinematic music video of which Sam Carter (the frontman) said in an interview with Rock Feed, "The video is absolutely insane. We shot it in LA at the end of our tour just over there. We shot it at like abandoned kind of factory. There is a lot of CGI going on in that video but I want everybody to know that we really are that high. It is tower. It was terrifying."
Architects' Sam Carter told about this single, "So excited to have 'Blackhole' out. It's one of my favorite songs from the album. [...] This is Architects at our most ferocious." He also shared in an interview with Rock Feed on the release date, "There's a lot of us learning from our history as a band, but also, I think, you can hear some new influences for us in there as well. [...] I'm proud again of the kind of resilience our band has shown. We're just continuing to go. We've been doing it for so long and we still want to learn and batter ourselves, not just sit and rest on laurels of some succesful albums that we've had."
