Before the release of 3D, the band released an EP titled Green Light, Go! and a self titled compilation of demos before being signed to Sumerian Records, where they've since remained. They also released a few Pre-Production demos of songs that would later be featured on 3D. Shortly after the albums release, Zack Johnson would leave the band and temporarily be replaced by Chris Moore, who was also featured on the bands music videos for 3-D and What This Means To Me. Johnson returned after Moore left the band due to "artistic differences" and joined the band on Warped Tour 2010.
The band released their second full-length album The End of the World Party on February 22, 2011. The album is noticeably different from 3D as it's a lot less heavy and more pop punk sounding. They played Soundwave 2011 in Australia, supported We the Kings alongside VersaEmerge in the United Kingdom, and played on the 2011 AP Tour along with Conditions, VersaEmerge, Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows, and Black Veil Brides. The band also made its national TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live performing "Glow" and "What This Means to Me."
I See Stars joined the 2011 Scream It Like You Mean It tour supporting its headliners Breathe Carolina and Chiodos, and also featuring Mod Sun, The Color Morale, and The Air I Breathe.
I See Stars released their third full-length album, Digital Renegade, on March 13, 2012. They took a heavier, more hardcore route with this release, but they still retained that electronic feel, with synthesized clean and screamed vocals. It also features guest vocals by Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria on the track "Endless Sky," as well as guest vocals by Cassadee Pope of Hey Monday fame on the track "Electric Forest."
Before the release of their fourth album, New Demons, which released on October 22, 2013, the band exclusively premiered their first single for the album, Violent Bounce [People Like ¥øµ] on Alternative Press and played Ten Thousand Feet live during Warped Tour 2013. On August 27, 2013, the band announced their North American headlining tour Started From The Bottom Now We Here with The Word Alive, Crown the Empire, and guests Dayshell, Get Scared, and Palisades, which started on October 29 and ended on November 24.
On July 31, 2015, the band released an acoustic album titled Phases, which featured many of their older songs reimagined as acoustic songs along with a few cover songs that were also acoustic. Jimmy Gregerson would be kicked from the band due to unknown reasons and Zach Johnson was kicked from the band as well. Devin would replace Zach as the unclean vocalist and Andrew Oliver would be moved from drums to keyboards and synth. The bands fifth album, Treehouse , was released on June 17, 2016. This album, unlike their previous two, isn't very heavy and is more chill. Acoustic versions of some songs from the album were released on April 6, 2018.
After a 5 year hiatus and Instagram account wipe, the band finally teased that they'd be releasing new material soon. According to the band on Twitter, the highly anticipated sixth album will feature more than 12 songs.

I See Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I doubt I was the only one
Heart broken on my back with the light on
When the wind blows
Just now
Time`s running
Just know
I know
The lyrics of I See Stars's song "Walking on Gravestones" seem to speak about feeling brokenhearted and lost, possibly due to a failed relationship. The first line "Choose me" could be interpreted as the singer expressing a desire to be chosen by someone else, to be loved and wanted. However, the following line "I doubt I was the only one" suggests that this desire is not unique and that many other people may feel the same way.
The next line "Heart broken on my back with the light on" paints a vivid image of the singer lying on their back, wounded and vulnerable, with the light on symbolizing a sense of exposure and visibility. The line "When the wind blows" could be interpreted as a reminder that life is unpredictable and that change can happen suddenly and unexpectedly.
The final lines "Just now / Time's running / Just know / I know / Time" seem to speak about the fleeting nature of time and the urgency to make the most of it. The repetition of "Just know / I know" could be interpreted as a reminder to oneself to stay grounded and not lose sight of what's truly important.

Choose me
Please pick me out of the many options available
I doubt I was the only one
I don't think I am unique in this situation
Heart broken on my back with the light on
I am feeling emotionally shattered and vulnerable
When the wind blows
During times of change and uncertainty
Just now
At this very moment
Time's running
I am feeling rushed and pressed for time
Just know
Be aware that
I know
I understand what's happening or what needs to be done

Hearts broken on my back with the light on
(Choose me) I doubt I was the only one
Hearts broken on my back with the light on

I can’t explain what I feel when I listen to this album, but it brings me back to a time I struggled with finding reasons to stick around and survive. The sense of nostalgia and overwhelming sadness makes me happy I stuck around and fought to find reasons. This album is incredible and so is everything I See Stars have made.

I'm twelve years old again rocking myself to sleep with my headphones on in my own dreamland that my new favorite song created with my imagination...
I want to go far far away and stay there dreaming in this sound of adventurous travel and peace
