Cover art for Architects & Engineers lyrics by Guster

I feel like this song is about wasted potential. Not realizing until it's too late that you could of been something bigger. You're looking at the city outside your window, watching things pass you by. It's the architects and engineers, the ones who worked harder to be where they are, that are doing something worthwhile. That's just what I get out of it.

My Interpretation

I can agree with that and would add that it's a call to make your mark. Life is fleeting your won't be around forever "We are shooting stars" so do something that will leave a lasting impression much like an architect or an engineer designs something that lasts through the ages.
