He's drifting in an ocean of inconceivably acidic waters. He's pulled down from the skies by insurmountable weights. The folly is in the belief that your efforts can overcome the automatic telepathic attack on your light inside. The ocean can only be burned up by an equally inconceivable fire. The weights tied to you can only be cut off by the intervening Primordial.
100% can agree with this. I mean, I to hate both Down With The Fallen and Rise and Fall when I first heard them, now I enjoy them very dearly. I can listen to all 4 albums, and have an absolutely impossible time ranking all the songs by Starset. But, that's the curse of Starset: Having the impossible task of ranking their songs.
All their songs actually tell important points in a story that they also wrote (I think?) IIRC which is called *The Prox Transmissions*. Just search it up in Google lol.
Since vessels, theyre my favourite band. Know every song, known them before, but really started to like them after vessels. Insane Band. It is even over BMTH for me.
After looking at the lyrics, I now realize that I can't hear for shit. "Cauterized and atrophied" I heard "Colorized and at your feet." "I think you made me this." I heard, "I think you may be dead" "You found me drifted out to sea" I heard, "You helped me so I could see" Am I disabled
I used to be that way I hear completely different words but after I worked my IQ abit more that the key stimulating your brain then u start hearing the words better
oohhh! man your songs are a total inspiration for mi and my dorther that we star a proyect making music and singing thatnks to god that exist people like you guys that make excelente music! god bles you allways.
This song is about Hell in Post Modern Futuristic Utopian Society where "The System" contains, governs, and controls Mankind evolving from Class warfare and possessive ways of Western thinking yet at the expensive of indiviual ideaologies and ways of thinking. Pretty much like the book "Brave New World". Like a Borg collective type vibe but not a Final Frontier type thing. We are trapped in Earth under "The System". Mankind hasn't explored and has not colonized other planets because we are still trapped in our conservative primitive ways of thinking so we worship (depend upon) "The System" as a means of survival (i.e. Book Of Revalation). cau·ter·ize - To burn the skin or flesh (a wound) typically to stop bleeding or prevent the wound from becoming infected atrophied - A body tissue or organ wasted away usually as a result of underuse or neglect So basically he is describing a futuristic post modern hell being cauterized and atrophied but evolving from it ("The System")
As a newly graduated registered nurse (who was in school when the song first came out, but I found this this summer after I graduated) the main reason I checked out this song was because I saw the use of those two words. Needless to say, I was very pleased when I listened to the whole thing :P

Tytaku I just thought of something can someone animate this song like the person is singing is the main character or something idk I just thought it'd be cool
Taken Spark Touch once & you will feel veche your eyes & you will find me our worlds in bump soon they will be! Yes I am exactly what you see! I do not bring you any gold, neither have I the silver; But my heart & pure & all that I have & it's up to you
And I swam in the wakes of imposters Just to feel what it's like to pretend There's no dreams in the WAVES, only monsters And the monsters are my only friends
"They're all that I was
And never could be"
Goosebumps everywhere !!!
Starset's always teaching some hard words.. like cauterized and atrophied ;D
Cauterized is Normal term, it means to burn off to prevent infection
@@GHoSTBellPepper10 I imagine, but these are not common words to learn at school (in non-english countries). So yeah, for me, theses were new, I've come to learn a few interesting words through Starset :) (no idea if that means that I've had poor English throughout my school days... maybe...)
@@ofenvonvafel5258 probably, school is becoming useless these days and i learned way more on my own
I love how Starset refers to their other songs in their songs
One of the most underrated songs in the Vessels album. This I play accoustic to this one. Listen to this Dustin's words of mysterious wisdom 👽
"And I swam in the lakes of imposters, just to feel what it's like to pretend.
there's no dreams in their waves only monsters, and the monsters are my only friends."
....That gave me fucking chills man.
Is it just me or do these guys not know how to write a bad song? Like seriously every new song I hear from these guys just gets better and better
One of the few bands like Breaking Benjamin that can't write a bad song. Love this band. Also excited for AC: Odyssey I see lol.
I don't like my demons personally, but otherwise I agree.
All of their songs are great! Except Love You to Death. We don't talk about that one.
@@Thomasawesome55 Talk for yourself, Love you to death is a great song even tho it's a cover.
@@Thomasawesome55 I don't think they wrote that song?

//proceed to chugs boiling waters
Eyes in the dead still water
Tried but it pushed back harder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
Knives in the backs of martyrs
Lives in the burning fodder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
This had to be one of my favorite choruses.
The lyrics and the way its sung is so powerful.
I come here from Arknights ♥ thank you, now I'm a fan of Starset
my favorite line is "there aren't any dreams in the lake only monsters and the monsters are my only friends"
"It's telepathic, you always knew me" and "As you point where your halo had been" are references to their songs Telepathic and Halo, arent they?
also "as I look for a harbor" is referencing their lines "the sinking ship I could not let go"-dark on me and "mayday mayday the ship is slowly sinking"-my demons
Yeah
Mr_ cynical4213 of course they are there's even a graphic novel they released
Also "the light in your eyes" refers to Starlight
João Victor “the light in your eyes has been squandered” was that a hint to last to fall?
As you pointed where your halo had been....there is no angel in you in the end. ❤❤ gives me goosebumps
Never heard a bad starset song, they are soooooo gooooood
If Starset and Skillet make a duet, my life would be complete 😍❤️
I would love to hear that too
Yesss!!!!!
Facta
I didn’t know I needed this 👀
They only sing about their imaginary friend, nothing to do with Starset
I've been obsessed with Subnautica lately, and I can't help but see this song as the theme for that game XD
“...And you laugh as I search for a harbor...but the light in your eyes has been squandered; There’s no angel in you in the end.” 💔
How could I have been so wrong???? 🤔
I lost myself into the night
And I flew higher
Than I had ever
But I still felt small
I clipped my wings and fell from flight
To open water
And floated farther
Away from myself
And I swam in the wakes of imposters
Just to feel what it's like to pretend
There's no dreams in the lakes only monsters
And the monsters are my only friends
They're all that I was
And never could be
Eyes in the dead still water
Tried but it pushed back harder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
Knives in the backs of martyrs
Lives in the burning fodder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
You found me drifted out to sea
It's automatic
It's telepathic
You always knew me
And you laugh as I search for a harbor
As you point where your halo had been
But the light in your eyes has been squandered
There's no angel in you in the end
And all that I was
I've left behind me
Eyes in the dead still water
Tried but it pushed back harder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
Knives in the backs of martyrs
Lives in the burning fodder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
Now I wait
This metamorphosis
All that is left is the change
Selfish fate
I think you made me this
Under the water I wait
Eyes in the dead still water
Tried but it pushed back harder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
Knives in the backs of martyrs
Lives in the burning fodder
Cauterized and atrophied
This is my unbecoming
thank ya xD
How long did it take to write this

am I the only one that finds a lot of connections between Starset songs?
Linuk TGS What do you mean by "connections"?
It's like their songs are connected
Oh I see. Yeah some are space theme and that. Idk lol

Since vessels, theyre my favourite band. Know every song, known them before, but really started to like them after vessels. Insane Band. It is even over BMTH for me.
They are really similar to BMTH but also with a slight taste of early imagine dragons. They are criminally underrated tho
One of my favorite songs by starset
Starset has been my favorite band from the first song in Transmissions
first light?
Idk if u can count first light as a song tbh
Let our Stars Unite and become one to set the Universe!🌠🌠 (Star-Set)
This is my favouritive song of STARSET
freakin Arknights PV 2 brought me here. . . .
no
James yes! James from 2 years ago
I love how there are always references to their other songs in anything the write. They all go together in some way shape or form
After looking at the lyrics, I now realize that I can't hear for shit.
"Cauterized and atrophied"
I heard "Colorized and at your feet."
"I think you made me this."
I heard, "I think you may be dead"
"You found me drifted out to sea"
I heard, "You helped me so I could see"
Am I disabled
You are very disabled. But disability gets you better parking places.
You are not the only one
I used to be that way I hear completely different words but after I worked my IQ abit more that the key stimulating your brain then u start hearing the words better
Love this band! Everytime I come across a new song I can't help but play it in the helicopter. I"M GONNA DIE LISTENING TO THIS STUFF ITS SO GOOD!
oohhh! man your songs are a total inspiration for mi and my dorther that we star a proyect making music and singing thatnks to god that exist people like you guys that make excelente music! god bles you allways.
"Silent we shall be, should conflict be avoidable - - but fight tooth and nail, should it be necessary?"
this, this vocabulary is fucking incandescent
Starset, teaching English better than most teachers 2017
My favorite starset song by far
Words means are so deeply and that man's voice is fucking good. This band is the best
Best song of album
starset's songs are always soothing.....
0:47-1:20 is my favorite part of this song
Under the water, I wait.." sounds like " I never wanted my way."
Thanks that you told me
love this song!
Does anyone else find the vortex to have a hypnotic effect?
No not rlly
You sure it's not the video?
This song is about Hell in Post Modern Futuristic Utopian Society where "The System" contains, governs, and controls Mankind evolving from Class warfare and possessive ways of Western thinking yet at the expensive of indiviual ideaologies and ways of thinking. Pretty much like the book "Brave New World". Like a Borg collective type vibe but not a Final Frontier type thing. We are trapped in Earth under "The System". Mankind hasn't explored and has not colonized other planets because we are still trapped in our conservative primitive ways of thinking so we worship (depend upon) "The System" as a means of survival (i.e. Book Of Revalation).
cau·ter·ize - To burn the skin or flesh (a wound) typically to stop bleeding or prevent the wound from becoming infected
atrophied - A body tissue or organ wasted away usually as a result of underuse or neglect
So basically he is describing a futuristic post modern hell being cauterized and atrophied but evolving from it ("The System")
Wow, is that right?
Eyes in the dead still water, tried but it pushed back harder, cauterized and atrophied, this is my Unbecoming.
I swer to god these guys can't make a bad song
I thought that this was from their first album when I heard it. Sounds a lot like their old songs.
I love the word choice.
Dxsi I kinda want someone to animate all of starsets songs and make a story from them
2020 ♥️ ouvindo essa música maravilhosa .
