With lyrics inspired by Cyberpunk imagery and the Cyberpunk subculture, Dope Stars Inc. have been mixing industrial beats, acid synths and distorted sounds with a bratty rock’n’roll sound and attitude since their foundation in May 2003, Italy.
With their debut self-produced EP “10,000 Watts Of Artificial Pleasures” the band caught the interest of the international press and and was quickly signed with Trisol Music Group to release two albums,“Neuromance” (2005) and “Gigahearts” (2006).
Through the years they have infected a horde of loyal fans and spread like a virus over communities and global networks.
The band toured extensively between 2005 and 2008 performing on stages across Europe and supporting bands like London After Midnight, Kirlian Camera, ASP, Apoptygma Berzerk, Nightwish, Combichrist, My Dying Bride, and others. The band also performed at European festivals like Mera Luna, Wave Gotik Treffen, Amphi Festival, Summer Darkness, On A Dark Winter Night, Infest UK, and Trash Fest I & II in Finland. Songs by Dope Stars Inc. also appear on the soundtrack albums of the horror movie saga "Saw".
Their 3rd studio album (upcoming this summer) has been licensed to Trisol Music Group in Europe, Metropolis Records in North American and Subsound Records in Italy. Before it's release an advance EP including 2 tracks from the new album and titled "Criminal Intents / Morning Star - Double Feature EP" will be released on 21st April 2009. After the EP some concert dates are being planned in May and an International Tour will follow after the full length album release.

No Life Belongs to You
Dope Stars Inc. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the oil and the human rights
Nothing more than a bunch of green guys
On the road for imperial fight
But it’s not the same
Now is not the same
Believe it or not
They’ve got plan
Nothing new yet another rich fight
For the oil and the human rights
Like an flash buring into the black night
All around you can hear gunfire
It's the bomb first aid
It's the bomb first aid
Believe it or not
They're going to kill
When lights just start to rain
It makes you feel like every day
Is just the last day of the world
You better stop
You better stop
No life belongs to you
No life belongs to you
Nothing new yet another rich fight
For the oil and the human rights
Like an flash buring into the black night
All around you can hear gunfire
It's the bomb first aid
It's the bomb first aid
Believe it or not
They’re going to kill
When lights just start to rain
It makes you feel like every day
Is just the last day of the world
You better stop
You better stop
No life belongs to you
No life belongs to you
The lyrics of Dope Stars Inc.'s "No Life Belongs to You" speak to the futility of war and the destructive nature of human beings when driven by their desire for power and control over resources. The first stanza describes a group of soldiers, or "green guys", who are sent out to fight for oil and human rights, although it is suggested that their true motivations are imperialistic in nature. The refrain "it's not the same, now is not the same, believe it or not they've got a plan" alludes to the idea that the same old tactics are being employed, but there is some new, hidden agenda at work.
The second stanza amplifies the violence and destruction caused by the conflict, describing the sound of gunfire and the impending doom of a bomb going off. The passage "It's the bomb first aid, it's the bomb first aid, believe it or not they're going to kill" speaks to the absurdity of using violence to respond to violence. The song's chorus is repeated twice after this, driving home the message that the constant warring and violence perpetuated by humans is unsustainable and inhumane.
Overall, "No Life Belongs to You" is a powerful commentary on the destructive nature of war and the need for humans to reassess their values and behaviors if they want to avoid a catastrophic end to the world.

La letra de la cancion es una brutalidad y Gracias a Apb pude sentir lo increible que pueden ser los momentos con desconocidos en un juego, Extraño patrullar las calles de san paro.

Was listening to the Gigahearts cd and remembered I downloaded this album when it released but haven't heard in a while. Back then, I listened to it pre-dawn while driving routes. Just me, Dope Stars Inc, and an empty dark road. Ultrawired... still damn good.
Serge Magnavox
