Startisan formed … Read Full Bio ↴Startisan was previously known as Streamilne (NY).
Startisan formed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana as a musical melting pot. Combining members from four of the most successful original bands in the state, they have become a fine-tuned Frankenstein of sonic ingenuity. Thoughtful, poetic lyrics are interwoven with sweeping guitar lines and aggressive percussion forming a compelling fusion of heart, soul and honesty (à la the singer/songwriter genre) with the force and power of a full-on rock band. The band’s immersive, infectious sound combined with an energetic and constantly evolving live performance makes Startisan a true marvel worthy of attention.
We have had the honor of sharing the stage with the following artists: Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Gavin DeGraw, Switchfoot, Better Than Ezra, One Republic, 12 Stones, Ryan Cabrera, Thriving Ivory, Lit, Eve 6, Reel Big Fish, Teddy Geiger, Josh Kelley, Good Charlotte, Metro Station, David Cook, Colbie Caillat, Puddle Of Mudd.
Decode Array Vol. 1 was released on April 15, 2011.
Startisan is:
Mike Hogan: vocals, acoustic and electric guitars
Derek DeBlieux: guitar, vocals
Jon Scholl: keyboards
Chris Jones: bass
Buck Langston: drums, percussion, vocals
C'est la vie
Startisan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faster than the speed of glee
But never leave the room
Be two horizontal beings on a vertical trajectory
Stop now! With this resisting
Futile, you'll never listen
Oh how you're gonna be missing out
Baby I could be your number one shock
Make your pretty little heart stop
Tangle you up with my tentacle lock on you
And then blow you through the roof
Oh and you could be my pheromone dream queen
All I'd ever need
You'd be my favorite drug
And I'd be shooting you up all night
If you'd let down your walls
I'll never wear you down
No, you're like a penitentiary
We should've probably learned by now
But we're both stupid little stubborn things
So sweet dreams, Azraline
I'm putting you to sleep
I'll suck it up and let it go
And say "c'est la vie"
Baby I could be your number one shock
Make your pretty little heart stop
Tangle you up with my tentacle lock on you
And then blow you through the roof
Oh and you could be my pheromone dream queen
All I I'd ever need
You'd be my favorite drug
And I'd be shooting you up all night
If you'd let down your walls
You could be so well loved
But you'll never know
But you'll never know
You'll never know
You could be so filled up
But you'll never know
You'll never know it now
Guess it wasn't meant to be
C'est C'est la Vie
In "C'est La Vie" by Startisan, the singer addresses their romantic interest, promising to treat them with an unforgettable experience, taking them to the moon faster than the speed of glee. The singer wishes to intimately connect with the interest, to be "two horizontal beings on a vertical trajectory." However, the interest resists, ignoring the singer's suggestions. The singer emphasizes the interest's stubbornness will make them miss out on great things. The singer continues to pursue the interest, promising to be their number one shock, making their heart stop and tangling them up with their "tentacle lock." The singer further emphasizes that the interest could be their pheromone dream queen, and they could be shooting each other up all night long if they let their barriers down.
However, the interest never reveals their true feelings, preventing them from experiencing a deep connection fully. The singer finally accepts that they will never be able to get through to the interest, stating they will never wear the interest down. The singer compares breaking through to the interest's heart to penetrating a prison, and the singer and interest are two stubborn idiots who should have already learned from their mistakes. The song concludes with the singer saying goodbye to the interest, realizing they are not meant to be together with a final "c'est la vie."

I'd take you to the moon child
I want to take you on an amazing adventure
Faster than the speed of glee
We'll be moving so quickly, it'll feel joyful
But never leave the room
We'll be together in a confined space, but that's enough for us
Be two horizontal beings on a vertical trajectory
We'll be lying down but moving up, as if we're flying to the stars together
Stop now! With this resisting
Stop fighting against me
Futile, you'll never listen
It's pointless, you won't hear me out
Oh how you're gonna be missing out
You will regret not giving in to me
Baby I could be your number one shock
I can be the love that shocks and excites you
Make your pretty little heart stop
I'll make you feel love so strongly that your heart will stop for a moment
Tangle you up with my tentacle lock on you
I want to wrap myself around you and hold you tight
And then blow you through the roof
After I've given you all my love, you'll feel like you're on top of the world
Oh and you could be my pheromone dream queen
You could be the one who fulfills all my dreams and desires
All I'd ever need
I would be satisfied if I had you in my life
You'd be my favorite drug
Being with you would become my biggest addiction
And I'd be shooting you up all night
I'd want to be with you all night long
If you'd let down your walls
If you'd open up to me and let me in
I'll never wear you down
I won't give up on you
No, you're like a penitentiary
You're a very difficult person to be with
We should've probably learned by now
We should know better by now
But we're both stupid little stubborn things
We're both too stubborn to see what's best for us
So sweet dreams, Azraline
Goodnight, my love
I'm putting you to sleep
I'm saying goodbye and letting go
I'll suck it up and let it go
I'll accept that it's over and move on
And say "c'est la vie"
And that's life
You could be so well loved
You could be loved so deeply and completely
But you'll never know
But you won't realize it until it's too late
You'll never know
You won't understand the love I had for you
You could be so filled up
You could have so much love in your life
But you'll never know it now
But you won't realize it until it's too late
Guess it wasn't meant to be
We weren't meant to be together
C'est C'est la Vie
That's life
