In late 2010 Digital Daggers had the single of the week, "No Easy Way," which gained over 150,000 downloads to promote the release of the debut digital EP Human Emotion. The title track of the EP was used by Ferrero Raffaello for a TV commercial in 2011. Their debut full-length album Close Your Eyes was released on 11 June 2013 by Los Angeles-based indie label El Camino Media. The song "The Devil Within" is currently being featured in trailers for the NBC series The Blacklist, Nikita, and Pretty Little Liars. In February 2014, they released "Aquarius" from the album 'Reimaginations: Volume One', which was used in the first episode of the CW show "Starcrossed".
Digital Daggers released their 2nd and final full-length album Mixed Emotions in 2014. The band had broken up before its release and have since had songs from the album featured in the TV Series How To Get Away With Murder. The song "Back To The Start" is featured on the upcoming Official Soundtrack album for How To Get Away With Murder released on Hollywood Records March 2016. Orange is the New Black featured "Save Us From Ourselves" in Season 7, Episode 4: "How to Do Life." The song begins as Maria recites from a pamphlet "Take what you want and leave the rest."
On 9 November 2017, Digital Daggers announced their return to the stage by presenting their newest song, "Devil's Choir". Space has been heavily active in the film and TV sync world as an artist, producer and performer, especially with his band Digital Daggers.

Digital Daggers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could you be my alchemist?
Heavy metals in the dark,
Could you make some sense of this?
There's a weight on my soul,
Aching for a golden kiss,
With a love I can't control,
I need a quick fix,
I don't want to feel this,
Come into my arms and make everything alright.
Chase you deep into the unknown,
In my dark, in my dark, you're the spark.
There's a hollow in my chest,
Where the pride is striping,
All I'm trying to forget,
Wish I would reside again.
There's a weight on my soul,
I can feel it sinking in,
It's a love I cannot hold,
It's a love I cannot win.
I need a quick fix,
Tell me you can cure this,
Come into my arms and make everything alright.
Chase you deep into the unknown,
In my dark, in my dark, you're the spark.
Chase you deep into the unknown,
In my dark, in my dark, you're the spark.
(You're the spark)
Undercover,
You're like no other.
Come light my way now,
Don't fight, don't stray.
Chase you deep into the unknown...
Chase you deep into the unknown,
In my dark, in my dark, you're the spark.
Chase you deep into the unknown,
In my dark, in my dark, you're the spark.
In "Spark," Digital Daggers sings about a personal struggle with the weight of different emotions. The singer seeks help from a romantic partner, referred to as an "alchemist," who can turn the despair and hurt into something meaningful, hence the reference to "heavy metals in the dark." The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with a love that is unrequited or not healthy, represented by the "weight on my soul", and they cannot find a way to make it right easily. They are asking their lover to come to their aid, to heal them, and make everything alright.
The singer's journey is particularly difficult because it seems as though they are pushing themselves away from what is going to heal them. The lyrics suggest that they might be struggling against the same self-doubt and self-loathing that's causing them so much pain. The line "there's a hollow in my chest, where the pride is stripping" suggests the singer is losing themselves and becoming hollow due to their pride and fear of the unknown. In the chorus, the singer finds comfort in their love interest, which is shown in the line "Chase you deep into the unknown, In my dark, in my dark, you're the spark." The song ends with a plea for help "Come light my way now, Don't fight, don't stray," emphasizing the importance of the love the singer is seeking.
