  • I am an Architect (LYRICS)
    "Yo, Where my red lines at?"
    I picture Frank Lloyd Wright, while you think I'm Mike Brady
    And engineers devour our work and call us crazy
    We got rounded specs, but they ain't for looks
    It's from staring at our screens and all those history books
    We turn an empty space, into a world of possibility
    Maintaining privacy, and tranquility
    Graduate from school, about to change the world,
    But I'm stuck designing thrones with a clockwise swirl
    CHORUS
    We're architects oh! With creative flair
    Re-designing the world, from buildings to chairs
    It's a daily grind, but we love what we do
    A satisfying job giving you a better view
    Lord of the Elmer's, and king of scraps
    Making models our of paper, and plastic bottle caps
    I'm a master of BIM, making lines with dashes,
    Except I'll lose my mind, if Revit bleep crashes
    GREEN is gold, and LEED is big,
    Know the golden triangle, and learn your trig
    Challenge the formula, push the envelope,
    Put more glazing over here. That looks really dope!
    CHORUS
    Crank the A/C in the office just to stay awake,
    Espresso and Red Bull till I got a stomach ache.
    With our cotton blazers high, we have a sense of style,
    But to the rest of the world we just point and smile
    I read code books, while I'm on vacation
    Take pictures of, my latest creation
    We wear black and gray, with no logos on our threads
    So many sleepless nights we're like the walking dead
    CHORUS
    Got so many scales, myswell (might as well) call me a fish
    Does your lawn look boring? I'll design you a dish
    Starchitects, no!, call them Hollywood actors,
    Cause they can't deal with general contractors
    Spec book wasn't clear so I got these RFI's
    Clients making changes that we all despise.
    We got better FORM, than Jordan's jump shot
    And designs that function like a million dollar yacht.
    CHORUS
    I'm an architect, "Oh you mean like Ted Mosby?"

      He is just going with the flow of his life... remember no person is similar...we all are different thus accept the fact of heterogeneous and live the life same way.
      And you shouldn't see humans confide to a path, we are born to expand thus everyone is writing and living his/her own story here.

    My favorite part of the song/video: the sleepless nights and the guys walking like zombies. I can't recall how many nights I spent awake working on some design and ruining my health for peanuts... so true!

  • @shambhavi4242
    @shambhavi4242 Před 3 lety +2

    The idea synchronised and fitted perfectly as an answer to quest my mind was in....a song on work, so I CZcamsd it and here it is an "architecture song".
    For me in this world songs should be like this attached to humans daily way of living life.
    So lots of gratitude for this project because this make us feel that our thoughts are not alone on planet.
    There is someone who shares same feeling too.
    Keep on being productive of your ideas, because even if you didn't noticed it is somewhere hiddenly keeping someone to believe that they still have to explore much more meaning of the gift they got called life and then they will know the why of their aliveness.
    Lots of love and wishes 🍃

    Hi, I discovered this song in 2022 when I was in 7th grade, it may seem hard to believe but this was the reason why I decided that I'll become an architect. I'm now a 9th grader and my decision still stands. I'll continue to pursue my dream of becoming an architect and when I become a successful architect, I'll visit this video to update you.
