The band released their debut album "Transmissions" on July 8, 2014 on Razor and Tie label. For the first week album sold more than 5,300 copies. The album debuted at #49 in the Billboard 200. In addition to the Billboard 200 album hit in other charts. In the category "Hard Music" album debuted #5, "Rock" #15 and a "Digital" #24.
In the early hours of New Years Day 2013, a radio astronomer at the Allen Telescope Array in northern California discovered a mysterious signal emanating from a star within the Ophiuchus Constellation.
Contained within the signal was a Message--of human origin--foretelling the details of man's imminent demise. The Message was brought to The Starset Society, who quickly realized the importance of its immediate publication.
Risking extreme danger, The Starset Society commissioned a group of musicians and scientists to assist them in spreading the knowledge to a broader audience. This group became known simply as STARSET.
Please hold. STARSET will begin the TRANSMISSION of the Message to the public shortly.

Starset Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In you and in me
Fuse us
Into unity
Primeval
We're coupled
Born from the universe
Farewell
Don't fear
For futures and dreams
They're fleeting, retreating
It's ok
I promise
I don't know what to say
But I'm going to want you till the stars evaporate
We're only here for just a moment in the light
One day it shines for us the next we're in the night
So say the word and I'll be running back to find you
A thousand armies won't stop me I'll break through
I'll soar the endless skies for only one sight
Of your starlight
Tell me
Just tell me to stay
I'll turn
I won't look away
I'll stay here
I'll never go but you don't feel the same
Farewell
Farewell and godspeed
Light years
Between you and me
I'm fading
Your beauty conquers the darkness
At night the earth will rise
And I'll think of you each time I watch from distant skies
Whenever stars go down and galaxies ignite
I'll think of you each time they wash me in their light
And I'll fall in love with you again
I will find you
A thousand armies won't stop me I'll break through
I'll soar the endless skies for only one sight of your starlight
Don't leave me lost here forever
Show me your starlight and pull me through
Don't leave me lost here forever
I need your starlight and pull me through
Bring me back to you
The lyrics to Starset's song Starlight describe the concept of human existence in the universe and the idea of unity that unites us all. The first verse talks about how we are all made of stardust, and how that unites us all to form a single entity. We are all born from the universe, primal creatures that are coupled with one another. The void of space is calling, but we should not fear it because our futures and dreams may be fleeting, but they are still important.
The chorus talks about the fleeting nature of life and how we are only here for a brief moment in the light. The singer expresses his desire for someone, promising to love them until the end of time. He will do anything to be reunited with this person, even if it means breaking through a thousand armies. The singer acknowledges that there are lightyears between them, but her beauty conquers the darkness.
The second verse talks about the concept of time and how the stars and galaxies remind the singer of this person. The singer pledges to keep falling in love with this person over and over again, promising to find her no matter what. The song ends with the singer begging not to be left lost forever, asking for this person's starlight to pull him through and bring him back to her.

But it is okay
I promise
I make a commitment
I don't know what to say
I am at a loss for words
But I'm going to want you till the stars evaporate
But I will desire you until the end of time
We're only here for just a moment in the light
But our time here is brief, and we should make the most of it
One day it shines for us the next we're in the night
Our fortunes can change rapidly
So say the word and I'll be running back to find you
Tell me what you need, and I will come to you quickly
A thousand armies won't stop me I'll break through
Nothing can keep me from reaching you
I'll soar the endless skies for only one sight
I will go to great lengths to catch a glimpse of you
Of your starlight
Your unique and exceptional beauty
Tell me, just tell me to stay
Please ask me to stay
I'll turn, I won't look away
I will not shirk or shy away from my responsibilities
I'll stay here
I will not leave
I'll never go but you don't feel the same
But you don't share the same feelings
Light years
Astronomical distance
Between you and me
Separating us
I'm fading
I am losing myself
Your beauty conquers the darkness
But your beauty is a light in the darkness
At night the earth will rise
At night, the Earth will become visible
And I'll think of you each time I watch from distant skies
I will remember you while I am far away
Whenever stars go down and galaxies ignite
Whenever the stars fade and are reborn
I'll think of you each time they wash me in their light
I will remember you when I am bathed in their light
And I'll fall in love with you again
And I will love you again and again
I will find you
I will locate you
Don't leave me lost here forever
Please don't abandon me
Show me your starlight and pull me through
Please share your light with me and help me
I need your starlight and pull me through
Please provide your light to me to help me
Bring me back to you
Please bring me to you

PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR OPINION
This song has a personally deep meaning and resonates with some aspects of my life. I'm sure this fact reflects the same for most of you too. Not just this song but almost all of Starset songs.
I was thinking it would be a fun idea to create a platform/forum dedicated for fans to share personal intrepretation on what certain songs from Starset means (especially some lyrics that are pretty intruiging yet complicated for some)
Or it can be seperated to only personal stories that resonates with the meaning of the song. It will be organized by each song though so to keep orderly.
Let me know what you think. It could be a good way for some of us to relief depression and stress of the trauma behind the story and in a way get motivated in life together through each other's variety of input and perspective. Starset is a very motivating and productivity- encouraging force.
