Tom SearleAbout
I think this song is about Tom suffering from anxiety due to his battle against melanoma or even knowing from the doctors that his chances to survive was minimal.
Lines like “I cannot see sense, past and future tense. Every moment is dead to me” maybe he’s reffering how he’s only living the moment,...
The Empty Hourglass Lyrics
[Intro]
(Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh)
(Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh)
Every moment is dead to me
[Verse 1]
Do you remember? Because I can't forget
The saddest story of all that ever was or will be
Laid out before me
[Pre-Chorus]
A living heart attack
Play it back, play it back
[Chorus]
Take my eyes, I cannot see sense, past and future tense
Every moment is dead to me
Safe and sound, anywhere but here
I see it crystal clear, but it means nothing to me, blegh
[Post-Chorus]
It means nothing to me
It means nothing to me
[Verse 2]
Have you seen a future filled with regret?
Breathe and count to ten, start over again
You wanna run away, just let yourself decay
[Pre-Chorus]
A living heart attack
Play it back, play it back
[Bridge]
(Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh)
The empty hourglass, we're going nowhere fast
(Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh)
There's no more time to kill if time is standing still
[Chorus]
Take my eyes, I cannot see sense, past and future tense
Every moment is dead to me
Safe and sound, anywhere but here
I see it crystal clear, but it means nothing to me, blegh
[Post-Chorus]
It means nothing to me
It means nothing to me
Play it back, play it back
Over and over again
Over and over again
[Outro]
(Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh)
The empty hourglass, we're going nowhere fast
(Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh)
There's no more time to kill if time is standing still

What did Architects say about "The Empty Hourglass"?
“This, again, was us trying to do something different. It’s a bit more traditionally structured than what we usually do and would probably be considered one of the ‘softer’ songs. It might have been put forward as a single, but we don’t want to just put the more accessible thing out as the single –...
