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.

The band’s immersive, infectious sound combined with an energetic and constantly evolving live performance makes Startisan a true marvel worthy of attention.

The Beginning
Startisan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like the world, like the world is getting smaller like the walls are closing in
I do my best to break away
Change the subject to the better times we've had
Everyday I'm thinking to myself there is something better
Something more than what we know, what we know
There's a voice we hold inside, deep inside
We keep it silent till we're ready, ready to explode
Open your heart
We'll get it right from the start
This is the beginning
This is the time
The time to make our mark
This is the beginning
And I don't want to think about the past times we've had,
The good or the bad
I just want right here and right now
We're always looking for the other side, the greener side
The better side
But that's no way to live our lives.
Open your heart
We'll get it right from the start
This is the beginning
This is the time
The time to make our mark
This is the beginning
The difference
The difference in your heart
The difference in your heart is what makes you stand apart
The difference
The difference in your heart
The difference in your heart is what makes you
Open your heart
We'll get it right from the start
This is the beginning
This is the time
The time to make our mark
This is the beginning
This is a fire and you're the only spark
This is the beginning
This is a fire and you're the only spark
This is the beginning
