The band came together in Los Angeles, CA in 2007. 2AM Club brings a diverse array of genres, including rock, hip-hop, electro, rap, and alternative. The group was named after the group's favorite bar, the 2 AM Club in Mill Valley, California. They signed with RCA records in September 2008 releasing their debut album What Did You Think Was Going to Happen? in 2010.

The band performed in the local college scene traveling up and down the coast looking for gigs to play. After the band recorded some demos with Jerry Harrison, a former member of the Talking Heads and Modern Lovers, 2AM Club played a now-legendary four month residency they called "Tiny Porno" at the Derby in Los Angeles, and word quickly spread that it was the place to be. They played the school's band during the Pretty Little Liars episode "There's No Place Like Homecoming", performing "Worry About You" and "Make You Mine" among others.

I See Stars
2AM Club Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see stars
Take a hit to my head
Then I crash in your bed
How'd I land here again?
I see stars
Should've known from the start
It would tear me apart
Look out the window, the window

I see girls with the painted on clothes
Looking hella stoned and they just enrolled
Girl you playing craps every time we in the
Back taking shots to the hat and we end up home
So it's a part of being young in the 2000-something
Always on the run with your pumps and your tongue ring
And that's cool
See a red light and you head right though

I don't believe in love at first sight
I believe in making love tonight so I dream
I pretend for awhile
Next thing I know is

I see stars
Take a hit to my head
Then I crash in your bed
How'd I land here again?
I see stars
Should've known from the start
It would tear me apart
Look out the window, the window

I see liquor spilled all on the rug
Gold in her mouth and her tat says 'love'
We staying up high in the clouds for the night
Knowing i could get it right if I knew what right was
So it's a part of being young make it up 'til it come true
Pp til the sunlight come through the sunroof
And we cool
Fly through the night til I land on you

I don't believe in love at first sight
I believe in making love tonight so I dream
I pretend for awhile
Next thing I know is

I see stars
Take a hit to my head
Then I crash in your bed
How'd I land here again?
I see stars
Should've known from the start
It would tear me apart
Look out the window, the window

And every time I wake up here
I feel far away from love
Morning come, stars disappear
Tonight I'll find another drug

I don't believe in love at first sight
I believe in making love tonight so I dream
I pretend for awhile
Next thing I know is

I see stars
Take a hit to my head
Then I crash in your bed
How'd I land here again?
I see stars
Should've known from the start

It would tear me apart
Look out the window, the window

Overall Meaning

"I See Stars" by 2AM Club speaks to the lustful desires of a young man who doesn't believe in love at first sight. The song talks about how he goes out at night and parties with friends, meets girls who are carefree and just enrolled in college. They drink and take shots together, enjoying the moment but never judgmentally analyzing their choices. Despite not being a big believer of love, he finds himself repeatedly attracted to the same person, and they engage in physical intimacy. Every time he wakes up next to her, he feels a world away from love, and so he keeps searching for the thrill of the chase, the thrill of the night, and love for just a moment.

The lyrics describe the stereotypical attitude of young people in their early twenties who are trying to explore life and are not necessarily trying to settle down. Although the song is upbeat and catchy, the lyrics are dark and shallow, which makes it a perfect example of a trend in modern pop culture. A trend that aims to normalize the idea of being emotionally unattached and treating love as mere physical attraction. This song is an example of how youth today look at love with a shift in focus towards physical pleasure, rather than seeking a deeper emotional connection.

Overall, I See Stars is about the uncertainty of love and the struggles to find meaningful relationships. The song highlights the tendency of some people to participate in reckless behavior that can cause emotional harm, despite being aware of the potential consequences.

I know it's the not same guys, but the ex lead singer has his own project under Marc E. Bassy, and he's fucking incredible. I've been sad about 2AM Club for years, but there's a very bright silver lining :)
