Didnt even think this is how Icarus would be interpreted. Gives a whole new meaning to the lyrics for sure.
The more content Starset releases, the more genuinely terrifying the lore becomes. I can’t wait to see what happens but I think I need to prepare myself emotionally first.
If I’m being honest I did not expect the yt shorts starset was putting out to actually be preliminary components to an upcoming music video. I thought they were just random functions of the bmi to help us understand it’s application in the real world, but this really puts it all together and shows it’s horrors. Great video I am now even more invested into lore than ever.
Starset has never made a bad song. They always seem to amaze me with killer songs!
Starset's lore becomes creepy when you realize that they show a not-so-far future and some of those things are already present...
FYI - 0:25 on the guy's shirt you can read the Chinese Traditional writing as 乖猴子, which translate to "shrewd monkey", which technically implies "a little obedient (slaving) monkey". Nice details there Starset!
Starset was ahead of the curve when they predicted we'd end up in a world where everything is fake and we have to work from home lol
"So you climb right up to the highest peaks, reach out to the edge of the world you seek, You were made for skies but you don't believe you could ever be good enough, go on then, Icarus, take your turn..." Bro.. this puts so much more context into this one particular part 😳🤯
I'm glad that I have a new escape from reality now, I love this band and I thank all of them for helping me this much for so long.
The actual hell we would all live in if life ever makes it to this point is so unreal and it's amazing how well you guys are able to show it!
Can we talk about how the sam guy from ricochet is doing similar things here!!!! In ricochet he was changing ladies to resemble his late wife, and here he is also helping people, but specifically ladies change their appearance!!!! THE LORE OF THIS BAND IS INCREDIBLE ❤❤ EDIT: Apparently I misunderstood the ending of ricochet, thank you all for correcting me and saying that the guy in ricochet was actually an android tasked with reviving his master and not just a dude grieving for his late wife. Nevertheless that gives the lore of starset universe much more awesomeness. Stay safe everyone ❤❤❤
I am obsessed with the lore from this whole album 😍❤️
I was definitely not expecting this song for this, but it definitely puts it into an interesting perspective! Man though, that was a ride, and what they’ve got going is honestly kind of horrifying haha
Incredible. The message they are trying to spread through their music is so deep and so ahead of it’s time. They see where we are now as a society and where we will end up if people don’t wake up.
1. Isaiah 58:13-14 (Werk) 2. Proverbs 14:30 (Shyft) 3: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 (E-Scort) 4. Ecclesiastes 1:10-11 (Always on) 5. Psalm 139:13-14 (Body Tune)
This video is so fitting for this song. I absolutely love the story and or meaning behind everyone song you guys have done. It is absolutely wonderful.
Icarus flew too close to the sun, the sun melted the wax on his wings and he met his end in the seas off of Greece as his Father watched in horror. So too, will humanity's wings become fallen as our children and children's children become further enslaved to technology and a false sense of reality. Fantastic music video, even better song and one of the best bands I've heard in my 36 years on this planet.
I desperately wish a major studio would collaborate with starset making their music video into full fledge 10 seasons tv series. I would definitely watch it. Horizon album was choke full of lore. Starset trully never disappoint.
The reality of our current existence in 2023 is deafeningly silent. I hear your transmissions, and don't worry we are the Arbiters of reality. So long as one free soul stands, they haven't won.
