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.
When I Say Jump You Say How High
I See Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it worth it?
People talk and they talk I'm so sick of it
I've made a monster
Love gone wrong
I'll pay for the past and the things I've done
You'll never let this go
Just give it time
This feeling haunts my mind
Just give it some time
I'll scream
Look away, close your eyes
Your voice changes reveals what's inside
Cold-hearted, tears that lie
Waste away four whole years of my life
And you're gone into the past
I've done all that I can
I'm gone, you're gone
I won't regret relieving myself of this feeling
Now begins the healing
And it's my time you were killing
I am a person you have changed
A harlot that makes this a broken cliche
I'll fall if I give into you
You'll lie and you'll steal my identity's truth
You'll never let this go
You're still hooked on mistakes I've made (mistakes that I've made)
Just give it time
This feeling haunts my mind
Just give it some time
You'll never let this go
You're still hooked on mistakes I've made (mistakes that I've made)
Just give it time
This feeling haunts my mind
This feeling haunts my mind
Just give it some time
The sooner you're off my mind, the better
The sooner you're off my mind
The sooner you're off my mind

The opening lines of the song, "Things felt so perfect / Was it worth it?" convey a sense of regret and questioning. The singer wonders if the relationship was worth the pain that followed.

The chorus of the song, "You'll never let this go / You're still hooked on mistakes I've made / Just give it time / This feeling haunts my mind / Just give it some time" is a plea for the other person to move on and let go of the past.

A harlot that makes this a broken cliche
The situation may seem like a typical, overused cliche, but the emotions and feelings surrounding it are real and impactful
I'll fall if I give into you
If I give into my emotions and try to rekindle what's lost, I run the risk of getting hurt even more
You'll lie and you'll steal my identity's truth
If I let you back into my life, you'll distort my sense of self and who I am
This feeling haunts my mind
The emotions surrounding what happened continue to consume my thoughts
The sooner you're off my mind, the better
I need to move on from the situation and let go of the emotional baggage that comes with it
The sooner you're off my mind
I need to stop dwelling on the situation and let go of the emotional baggage that comes with it
The sooner you're off my mind
I need to stop dwelling on the situation and let go of the emotional baggage that comes with it
