Starset "Monster" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

[@seisialily]

His singing voice and his normal voice are so different from each other so it's weird hearing him talk.

[@FireflyProductions]

I know, right? It's like hearing two different people. 0.o

How the flippin heck do I keep seeing you here man? This is getting too weird. twice already!!! *smacks his head against his keyboard and screams spasticly flapping his arms around and spilling his tea* 🍆 😅😅😅

[@kallie5340]

I love this, and love Dustin to pieces. He's so smart, and speaks so intelligently, as well as when I met him he was also a super kind, giant goofball.

[@flamehaze59]

Same, I've also met him and it was the best experience EVER

[@meancat5551]

starset deserves more.. they're getting more known now but i hear from a lot people that they've heard better and i just can't comprehend that. ever since i heard my demons back in like 2014 or smth like that, i've listened to starset more than anything.

[@tammyulloa1625]

ICE IN UR COKE ikr they deserve more also min yoongi

[@firefox30570]

[@samanthatorres6749]

I first listened to my demons in 2014 and I've been listening to Starset songs since then.

[@trs5127]

Exactly, like friends say "I've heard better than them" and I'm like "stfu, it ain't even possible"

[@piniie]

Same. I've never listened to anything that could make me feel the way their songs do

[@slnoll21]

Listened to Starset since the first single off their first album dropped. I know they're new, but Starset had become my favorite band of all time. It's more than music. If you think I sound crazy, just listen you will understand

[@shadowsoul1695]

Scott I definitely agree with you on this because I feel the same way. I just got into them when Vessels released. I didn't like it that much when I first heard it but after 10 listens, it finally hit me and it hit me harder than any other album I've heard this year and even the past 3 years. Phenomenal band and phenomenal albums they have released!!👍👍👍😎😂

[@FireflyProductions]

I definitely know what you mean. There's something about them that makes it more than just a band, more than just music. I don't even know what it is, but it's amazing. I've never followed a band more closely than Starset.

[@MrMtcaleb]

Look up downplay, while Dustin only recently began starset it is not his first foray into music, downplay was his first band and it sounds like old starset, some songs were originally written and performed with downplay such as dark on me or my demons and even carnivore

[@borntofly8947]

I know what you mean. Such an underrated band. Everyone on earth could be a fan and they’d still be massively underrated.

[@KingoftheSage]

For me I think it's the lyrics that do it. I can relate (in my own way) to what's being said. And the music that's composed is outstanding! For me, it's like a therapy lesson with good music. Revealing things about myself that I couldn't not previously express or put into words, but they've done that for me... then put it into a poetic form, made it rhyme and added music. It's like my life is now a soundtrack..

[@theiathegreatest]

I just want to hug him

[@clintbeasthood9758]

This is one of, if not THE smartest people in the rock scene. A true musical genius imo.

[@JustAWildSkullKid]

The fact is that he has a huge brain out of music world too

[@Pluvillion]

He's a literal rocket scientist and I'm glad

[@ilay829]

Homie wrote a whole novel based on the transmissions album and is also an electricity engineer.

[@flamehaze59]

Yeah, he is, I've met him last month at the Munich show, smartest man alive imo 😊

[@GabrielLima.]

Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein were jealous

[@dwaynebarton1762]

I absolutely love EVERYTHING about this band and their passion for making beautiful and heavy music

[@spacenerd7786]

Starset seriously needs more recognition. Not only do they make amazing songs that have deep meaning and the music videos show a whole different side, Dustin Bates is a space nerd and here we support that. I _highly_ recommend people to listen to them because damn I love their music.

[@amaster9241]

Dustin's voice is so calming that I want to hear him read stories to me every night while I fall asleep lol. That would be awesome.

[@cynthiamaney7202]

It's weird hearing the song without his high notes

[@s.c.craven5304]

I need him to read every audiobook I own

[@Enivri]

“Stop looking for monsters under the bed, you are the monster”

[@starwalker6]

I love listening to Dustin talking through the song here. He's got such a calming voice, and obviously he's smart, so I could listen to him explain his songs all day!

[@SanjaSleipnir]

Starset is everything I've ever wanted music to be. Seeing Dustin here and explaining the story behind this song is just pure fulfillment

[@MoonLover_03]

"Its sort of the *point of no return* "I see what u did there xD

I comeback every once and awhile and man love to hear more from this group and Dustin in anyway or form.

[@IVANSITO73]

This channel needs to bring more Starset songs, I don't know why u bringing such crap nowadays when there are such amazing lyrics

[@DVRKSTXR]

One of the coolest bands with one of the freshest and most progressive sounds in the industry. Easily one of my favorites. Transmissions was a dope album and Vessels is awesome as well. Starset never disappoints. 💯

[@przftl]

I never thought about that song in that way. It's was something like "society try to make us like everyone, and when you are not like them you are the monster, the difference, the non accepted".

[@bitwisedevs469]

That was a beautiful translation

[@socks1w]

Damn he’s got a deep voice.

[@flex4285]

This is my absolute favorite song. The chorus lines have so much energy and I love the story behind it.

[@hillaryescobedo6340]

Starset deserves so much more recognition

[@LordOfTheEyebots]

"I was on a rooftop in Venice beach..." Well then...

[@pr1med]

This band is so underrated. I saw them live when they opened for Breaking Benjamin and Seether this past May. I hadn't listened to any of their art until I saw them live. I'm already in love.

[@balazsbotyanszki5100]

Star set is amazing I hope people will watch this

[@Anime5290]

I am actually glad I found this video. I often end up googling for the meanings of certain songs with mixed results. To have the artist actually explaining what they intended to say with the song was very helpful.

[@colbyashelley9109]

This song pretty much tells how I feel about my father. He abused me all my life, which ended my training to being a US Marine. He got under my skin, in my head, and I didn't make it through boot camp because of him, as well as myself for letting it happen. Before I left for boot camp, he pulled a gun on my mom right in front of me. He's done so much damage to my family and I. He's brought the house down on us, and I'll never forgotten what he did to my family and I. His manipulation, his physical abusive side of which I was the punching bag, and his cruel ways of making my life hell. I know it was a simple construct of lyrics but it connects with how I feel about my father.

[@anxhelovucinaj1576]

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you and your mom are in a much better situation right now.

How can no one like the bridge part of this song, it's my favorite of all the songs I have in my phone!

[@Resident--a]

In almost every way, this is a breakdown of my last attempt at love. From me finally letting go of the walls and trying to be open, to have a healthy relationship. To being used and neglected, turned into a monster, pathetic and weak. Able to see what went wrong, hindsight is always 20/20. All the things I ignored in favor of chasing the serotonin. You get to that point and you understand the why and the how, but you also know it all comes back on you. There's no one else to blame.

[@angelacorona5241]

So I know he's not picky about how people relate to his music, but for me this song helped me through the ongoing years of chronic pain with how much I've been cut open and stabbed to try and be fixed. Chronic pain is the monster in my story. And their song Perfect Machine helped me get through my 1.5 hour MRI (was able to listen to them on pandora). Carnivore is another song I relate my pain to. I cannot wait to see them in concert!

[@threetfilms4255]

[@sundarswaminathan3765]

I feel the song is about perspective but in whose perspective. He said that he has been to Venice beach and he saw a hook. It feels like the fish he caught was feel it.

[@hilde105]

I always give my own meanings to songs...does anyone think the artist wants it that way or is it bad because it might not be the real meaning the artist intended

[@avabarron7366]

hilde105 - Musicic is therapy. Not just for the listener, but for the artist who writes the music as well. Music has gotten me through some pretty tough times in my life, as I'm sure it has for many other people as well. An artists main objective when writing music, is to write songs that people can relate to and interpret in their own way. A lot of song lyrics are purposely written in a way that leaves the meaning open for interpretation by the listener. That's the beauty of music, the same song can have 10 different meanings to 10 different people.

[@unknownuser4275]

Dustin himself has said that he tries to write the songs so that although he might mean it one way, people can be able to interpret it and give their own meanings to it. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s something we do to try to connect us more to the music
