It Has Begun
Starset Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Even a well lit place, can hide salvation
A map to a one man maze that never sees the sun
Where the lost are the heroes
And the thieves are left to drown
But everyone knows by now
Fairy tales are not found
They're written in the walls
As we walk in a straight line
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching
But nothing could ever stop us
From stealing our own place in the sun
We will face the odds against us
And run into the fear we run from
It has begun

Into the dark below
Evading shadows
Blind in a rabbit's hole
We fall beneath the earth
And watch the shell come unraveled
As the seed begins to rise
Embracing its starlit fate as we wait in the night
It's written in the walls

As we walk in a straight line
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching
But nothing could ever stop us
From stealing our own place in the sun
We will face the odds against us
And run into the fear we run from

It has begun
It has begun
It has begun




It has begun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Starset's song "It Has Begun" speak of finding salvation in unexpected places, and the journey to retrieve it. The opening lines suggest that even in well-lit and seemingly safe spaces, salvation may be concealed and harder to find. The reference to a "one man maze" without sunlight suggests that the journey towards salvation may not always be straightforward, and even the lost (or perhaps because of being lost), can become heroes while the thieves are left to drown. The lyrics suggest that this journey is not impossible because despite the darkness, "fairy tales" or happy endings, can still be found, but not without some effort.


The lyrics continue with a metaphor of walking in a straight line down in the dirt with a landslide approaching, but nothing can stop those on this quest from reaching their goal of "stealing our own place in the sun." Despite facing overwhelming odds, they will still confront their fears and continue forward. The journey towards salvation is likened to "falling beneath the earth" into the darkness and evading shadows, but ultimately witnessing a transformation as a "seed begins to rise" and embrace its "starlit fate." The lyrics suggest that this transformation is written in the walls, in the sense that one's fate is predetermined, but it is up to the individual to find and fulfill it.


Overall, the lyrics speak of a journey towards self-discovery, perseverance in the face of adversity, and the ultimate realization of one's fate. The message is one of empowerment and a reminder that sometimes salvation may be found in unexpected places.

As the seed begins to rise
New beginnings and opportunities often emerge from moments of chaos and destruction.


Embracing its starlit fate as we wait in the night

Covid in 2022: haha, it’s about to begin.
“Breaking news: person named his virus covid on plague inc and evolved lethality. Deaths caused by covid have become out of control. We are sorry to say but... it has begun... dear god.... I need to see my family while I can...
+cuts to another reporter+ “well... you heard what they said. There are thousands of people dying every day due to covids new symptom. We almost had a cure but researchers found out that covid can turn into an acid if salt touched it. We don’t know how this is possible but while experiment, a scientists face was melted off... our sources say hundreds of millions have died to covid and more will follow.

+cuts to reporter in an airplane+ breaking news: a riot has started here in New York, the entire city is burning down. We can’t see anything from here but thankfully the helicopters blades are pushing away the smoke. The rioters are apparently fighting the police saying “we want real freedom, not this bullshit you’ve told us” these people are fighting to stop racism and anti lgbtq. Most police are trying to stop the rioters from destroying building but they will let the rioters keep up the fight for they’re cause..

+cuts to reporter in Mesa Arizona.+ breaking news. It appears that rioters are burning down this city. We haven’t been given a reason that makes sense.They said “ if the world is going to end, let’s go out with a bang” an- +cameras go dark as an explosion happens+ +gunshots can be heard as the reporter reaches for the mic+ she says “well, it appears I was shot... might as well finish my job before I die... it appears a civil war has started here in Mesa. Bombs were dropped and bullets are being fired. The rioters called themselves “the end”. We don’t know what it means and I won’t get to find out... heh... damn it...

+it would switch to another reporter in the war zone+ come on, one of our reporters just went dark here. Find them and we might be able to save them. +the reporters would look up and see a gun ship firing at the army+ “hey, what’s that?” Reporter two: isn’t that a gunship? What the hell is it doing firing over there?
Reporter three: WATCH OUT!
+reporter three would jump in front of reporter one and take a bully to the head+
Reporter two: DAMN IT!
Reporter one would look down and see threes corpse at his feet and start crying, as three was his brother.
Reporter two: HEY, WE ARE TAKING FIRE, GET DOWN!
Reporter one would snap back and duck behind a few sandbags.
Reporter one:... my brother.... he’s dead. HES F*CKING DEAD!
Reporter two would look at him with s blank stare.
Reporter one would look up at two and say “hey, don’t you care? He was your friend”
Two: no, I don’t care.
Two would look away and grab a pistol. He fired almost every bullet at the enemy and killed him. He then looked at one and put the trigger to his head.
One looked at him and said “ HEY! PUT THE GUN DOWN!
Two would look at him with a blank stare and said “see you in heaven... oh wait... suicide is a sin...”
Two pulled the trigger and his body fell to the ground.
One looked at his body and said “... f*ck... F*CK!
One saw an enemy approach him and took an assault rifle. He shot him in the heart and the enemy collapsed.
One then grabbed a sniper rifle and put the barrel in his mouth. He pulled the trigger after saying “don’t think you can just leave me”.

Also me- "Wait, what about My Demons?

And Down With the Fallen?
And Satellite?
And Dark On Me?
And... pretty much everything else?"

Sigh. Why you gotta be so good, Starset?

+lobster man because record companies are stupid..... id buy this album

@Vallack

+lobster man because unknown bands try their best to get people to listen and get noticed. Once a band is popular they don't try as much cause they already made it to fame
