LYRICS
Under the knife I surrendered
The innocence yours to consume
You cut it away
And you filled me up with hate
Into the silence you sent me
Into the fire- consumed
You thought I'd forget
But it's always in my head
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage.
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take
Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage.
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me
This is the world you've created
The product of what I've become
My soul and my youth
It's all for you to use
If I could take back the moment
I let you get under my skin
Relent or resist?
Seems the monster always wins
My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul
I’ll lift you up and then I’ll let you go
I've made an art of digging shallow holes
I drop the darkness in and watch it grow
My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul
Who knew the emptiness could be so cold?
I've lost the pieces that could make me whole
I am the darkness
I'm the monster

[@rapidthrash1964]

The hooded figure with a glitchy face serves as the one who is asked to change them. They initially are seen as a monster because they do not resemble anything that the girl is able to comprehend until she realizes that the monster is in fact her savior. He brought the change that was needed and revealed to the girl the lie that she had been immersed in. Sometimes those we think are monsters are in fact the ones who we need the most.

[@raymondkunkel642]

This premise is literally so cool: The shadowy figure, the darkness is always there, but in the dark lies the light of reality. The truth hurts, but the truth is empowering if we allow ourselves to fully accept it. The way that girl fell apart after seeing her reality, at first resisting the shadow's intent to help, the way she gradually calmed down and took its hand was so cool. Starset is and always will be one of my favorites.

[@portallicious]

100% agree! It's masterfully made.

[@GhostMana0902]

They done 5 stages of grief correctly, i like when she was in shock and throw up when she receive the truth.

[@DanQZ]

It might be a direct reference to Plato's allegory of the cave. Here's an abridged version: We live in a cave, but we can't see the entrance. We only see the light on the cave wall, and things that move in front of the light cast shadows. We believe these shadows are the only things that exist, because they are all we've ever known. Someone from outside the cave can show us the truth, that there is more to life than shadows on the wall. They try to bring us out to the source of the light, but the light hurts our eyes because we've lived in the dark all our lives. So we resist and try to crawl back into the darkness. But eventually after some pain, our eyes can adapt to the light and we can see things as they truly are. However, now that we have been shown the light and our eyes adapted, we can no longer see in the dark. By going back into the cave, we no longer see the same as those who live in the dark, spending their lives looking at shadows on the wall.

[@intentionallyleftblank3796]

This song is so deep lyrically and videowise. For me it shows how no matter how perfect our lives may seem, we all struggle with something. Some more, some less. Just look at today's social media: you won't see many people talking about their issues, addictions, depression, heartbreak... Instead, they'll post photos of their vacations, their perect makeup, the food they ate. We create a bubble, a virtual reality to escape into, but outside that bubble, we will always have issues and struggle with something, anything. We have fo stop pretending everything's alright and act now. Be kind to each other, maybe it makes them smile for the first time that week..

You're right, not opening up to someone you can trust is a major issue that many people go through, some don't want to speak of their problems, and some want to but don't know how to explain and express themselves.

[@MiguelMedV]

Man, I think just as you do on everything what you said. I wish there were more people like you X(. In this world (or at least with my teenager contemporaries) Everyone acts so falsely, no one is genuine, everyone makes a false person of themselves (as a social shield too, so I can´t blame some people)...

[@ChristianProtossDragoon]

Wrong. This is about manipulation.

[@theslimashady4865]

This song is basically telling us to stop letting the way we live our lives be centered around what we want. Because even our wildest dreams can corrupt our minds if we let it become more important than the people we love and love us. It's like when you're in a dream and everything is perfect in your mind, you don't wanna leave bc everything is the way you want it to be, then sooner or later you realize it's all in your head and then you start to lose cotrol of your thoughts and everything changes into a nightmare and the only way you can escape is by waking up. So when we awake, we are free to make decisions without our mind losing control, and we can use our mistakes to learn and become a better person. I hope this helps for those of you that are reading this :)

[@iftkics4067]

this isnt even close to the message

[@theslimashady4865]

+iftkics there are many ways to interpret this song, it makes sense if you open your mind to it. You can interpret it the way you want. I use to think it was just a broken relationship that ended badly and he's haunted by the memories of his innocence being stripped away and the only way he can stop himself from losing his sanity is by being with the one he loved even after all the torture he's been through with her in the process. Which that could make sense too, it's just all about perspective

[@theslimashady4865]

+iftkics even though some pieces remain hidden in a massage, doesn't mean we can't solve a puzzle using our own minds to interpret something beyond what we can see

[@deardaemon]

Actually, these songs are designed to be centered around technology and the potential dangers that can occur due to it. The band supports a group called the Starset Society and they warn about the potential dangers of the new technology and the possible future. Starset was created to get their message across in a way where people would listen. www.starsetonline.com/ thestarsetsociety.org/ Reference the links, I don't believe I explained it well.

[@contractor1535]

What does this video signifies anyway?

[@happy_destroyer]

in one of his other music videos, carnivore i believe, someone explained like the plot behind some of these videos. so basically all the people with the headsets are in a different version of there world. there there because they wanted to escape what the world was turning into and what the world has become. so the guy with the static white mask isn't actually a monster in fact he's sort of the hero. he was trying to wake up who he could to save them. once he woke her up and took her away and left the orb thingy that he had in his hand to demolish what was left of earth. if you go back to carnivore, there's a comment from an account named Layne Lockridge. check that out. it'll explain the plot somewhat enough for you to understand if your interested.

[@alwynhorreur605]

This video tells so much to us, it's wonderful. In my opinion it can mean that in later times no one is happy anymore in the world, so they use these colorful things to replace reality. However, there is someone, the monster, who is the only one living with all that is real. He tries to awaken people and he succeeds finally, maybe his love? You can see how shocked the girl is when she sees the real world, she even throws up and cried, feeling the weight of reality again.

[@iftkics4067]

the monster is technology in his form trying to save the world and show hes not the monster, hes been made the monster by humans

[@ElegantHope]

I think, like another commenters said somewhere else, that the robed guy is Truth. Not technology. The truth seems monstrous to people who refuse to accept it and often leads them to reject it. But once you come to terms with the truth, you can become a much better , smarter, and happier person. And sometimes, the truth can even save you.

[@iftkics4067]

but the song is literally sung by technology and his face is all technological

[@alwynhorreur605]

iftkics I think that's not totally true. If you look at the monsters face, you see these glitch kind of images and that are pictures from the real world, a bit blurred, so not technology.

[@alwynhorreur605]

ElegantExcalibur I agree with that!

[@tallstar513]

Starset is like that perfect medium of metal and synthwave and they play it so perfectly that it's like a work of art, I can never get enough of them.

[@gamingfilmsbrother7054]

I interpreted the video this way. The robed figure is an angel trying to see who he can save in the end. The helmets represent worldly distractions, addictions, and things that keep people from seeing the light. That woman in the video thought she was happy, but then she sensed that there was something wrong and did not feel truly satisfied. Sensing this, the angel or the robed figure took the helmet off or helped remove the distractions that prevented her from seeing the light. When the truth was revealed, the woman was in shock, but she finally accepted the truth. Since she was the only one who accepted the truth, the angel or robed figure took her out of harm's way. That is how I saw this video.

The temptation still comes to have a phone in your pocket ,some times I become anxious. But being surrounded with your best friends still feel empty now.

It makes me mad how underrated STARSET is. In my opinion, they are THE BEST rock band. Anyone else concur? Thank you STARSET! Keep making the best rock songs in the universe!

[@yacoubhaltiner]

I wouldn't say "The Best", as that's entirely subjective. Though I do agree with you that it's saddening how underrated they are! They're my favourite, and I wish to see them gain more recognition for the beautiful story they lay out with every song within their albums!!

[@ZacharyHarpel]

@@yacoubhaltiner I agree. I suppose everyone is subject to their opinion, and not everybody would say that STARSET is the BEST. I am glad to finally see that someone else thinks they are underrated.

Damn that's a good track. These guys write some deep ass hooks

[@rotomen]

I've yet to see this interpretation (though I am sure it exists), but I do think of this video as being a little bit more personal than a relationship between humans and technology. Although I do love the metaphor, and I'm probably reading into this video too much, I feel like the man in the glitchy mask or the 'monster' is the man in the main girl's simulation. I like to think of it as maybe she chose the simulation, and he didn't. Look at the way they react to each other. He acts like he knows her immediately by the way he turns his head and follows her. She doesn't recognize him outside of the simulation at first, but she accepts his hand. She follows him once she realizes who he is. I feel like the term 'monster' and the symbolism of the man being draped in darkness could be interpreted many different ways, but I feel like maybe he rejected the simulation, and this is what became of him. Maybe someone on the starships outside did this to him, but that's why he returns. He returns to find a world he once knew, but everyone's inside their own little worlds. The only person he decides to rescue is the girl. Or maybe it isn't that he decided to rescue her, but she was able to recognize him through the simulation through him being the only one not in a simulation, so he was able to pull her out of it. Just my two cents. This video means so much more to me when looking at it from such a story-driven perspective. I'm probably wrong as hell, but I like to think of it that way. :)

[@Brightly-Colored_Goth]

I wrote a POV about a person who's head was similar to the world in the video... difference is that he always thought the people he loved would be there when he woke up. But in the end, he kept putting it off, switching realties/dreams, and died. But this was long after my family and I discovered STARSET. I remember I found it that afternoon a few years ago when I was skipping through Pandora and had to dig deeper. Once my aunt came home later, she said that she wanted to share a new band her co-worker had recommended with us. She put on I believe it was either Demons or Monster, but regardless, she was a bit shocked when she found me walking out of my room singing the lyrics by heart on my way to the kitchen as she was blasting it from the TV. Good times...

Does this song make anyone else just think about life very deeply. I feel lost in the emptiness.

[@jarrettpennington4579]

You can try to escape from reality all you want.......but life is always going to be here to tell you otherwise and after that......death itself is always looming. No computer, no virtual reality, no anything can stop that.

[@miamimarauder6430]

So this song has a deep philosophical meaning and I'm going to attempt to decrypt it The robed figure is both Death and Truth. He is as well a Monster in their eyes as they see him strip away their paradise. He is Death/Monster because he leads to the demise of their virtual Nirvana. He is truth because he lifts the veil so they can see the true world around them and how they left their issues behind for an illusion of bliss. The advanced headsets could be an example for drugs as people take use it to find bliss calm and peace while everything else crumbles around them. The woman is the first to realize the issue that somethings wrong and it can't stay like that forever. The Pyramid things are generating their simulated wonderland while the end Truth tells her of something to end it like and EMP to destroy the system and wake them up which is the huge thing at the end. The overall message is to wake up and make a change before everything else crumbles before you while you ignored it.

[@justingreen8572]

The robed figure is Technology. Listen to the words more. Under the knife I surrendered - Technology is our to control The innocence yours to consume - Technology is a slave to our demands You cut it away - Technology is typically used in horrible ways And you filled me up with hate - Technology is used to subjugate others. Into the silence you sent me - Technology is silent, such as the web Into the fire- consumed - Technology is consumed by everyone You thought I'd forget - Technology is built on what came before it But it's always in my head - Technology never forgets

You don't need your unfortunate past to change you. You can do it by yourself. Let the monster they turned you into become the strength you need to overcome the next obstacle. You can fight through any addiction, any hardship if you turn your inner monster towards the things that ruined you. Stand up for what your heart screams at you when you get high or go back to a previous lover. Yell "NEVER AGAIN!" as your battle cry. 4 years sober from hard drugs and bad relationships. Stay grounded at least, but if you can find your strength, rise above. Nothing else in the world should matter until you purge your demons and become yourself again.

Three years ago, I watched this video and fell in love, because a WWE professional wrestler known as "Bray Wyatt" (Windham Rotunda) posted it on his Twitter during a really interesting time in his career as he transformed into a "monster" character. That man has passed away either sometime today or yesterday, I'm kind of just now consuming all the news about it. Devastating loss, he was a brilliant creative genius and according to pretty much the entire WWE as a whole had nothing but love and adoration for the man's true life "character." A friend to all, beloved by his peers as much as fans. He had good fucking taste in music, too. This song is forever one of my favorites, now it holds a whole new meaning that I will cherish with both fond memories and introspective melancholy. RIP

[@noneshallknowmyname]

There is no safety. even the light can fail, and the guardians know this. what about all those areas where 'the light cannot reach you here, respawning is disabled'? The traveller's light can be blocked, and it's what causes all the deceased guardians you find throuout the game. where you pick up the shells of their ghosts. The darkness is the idea that, eventually, death will come to all. you can't stop it, and even the light can fail. but through the traveller's light, the guardians do what they can to protect the galaxy from this inevitability, if only to postpone it for just a little longer.

I never really divined what it was about, but it remains one of the most significant dreams I've ever had. I often come here to watch this video again not only because the song is great but because the visuals of the subject of the video remind me of that nightmare, and I find ways that the video parallels what I was experiencing at the time.
