STARSET - INFECTED 

Starset ❤️

Last time someone said this was in Unbecoming, now i will take the chance to say this again: "To all doctors of Rhodes Island, *Welcome to the Starset Society* "

*_Welcome to The Starset Society, Arknights. We've been expecting you._*

Man, I love those lines: "We're addicted to the panic. And we hate the way this world has become, but there ain't no cure for it." Absolutely next level. What a song.

Arknights and Starset goes so well together.

Starset literally can't make a bad song

The fact that this song was released during an actual pandemic is so epic yet so creepy at the same time. EDIT: Wow 1.5K likes? Most I've ever gotten~ thanks~

yeah we're back :D Babel bring me here

I see Starset, I click, I scream like a little girl.

2020: Parasite Eve 2021: Infected The party isn't over yet

Babel sidestory event brought me back here

With the lore bomb now dropped, this is basically the Doctor's theme song.

There are 3 constellations that draw attention in the video, and that have a direct connection with the lyrics of the song! 0:01 - Ophiucuhs (Serpentarius) 0:07 - Virgo 2:31 - Hercules Ophiucus - '' The snake bearer '' is the tale of Asclepius, son of the sun god: Apollo with a mortal, who found a wounded snake that was completely healed by another snake that brought special herbs into its mouth, using these herbs, Asclepius was able to cure not only severe illnesses, but he could also revive the dead, becoming a great healer. Hades, the god of the underworld was enraged as he was directly disrupting his work and telling the situation to Zeus, the God of the Gods and the sky. Zeus then struck a lightning bolt at Asclepius killing him, and at Apollo's request, an image of him ascended to the heavens. Virgo - There are several tales about the constellation, but the most famous is that of Dike, the Goddess of justice, daughter of Zeus and Themis, the Goddess of order and law, has been in charge of taking care of justice in humanity since the golden age, however when the silver age arrived and humans started to abandon their customs and traditions, Dike warned them that it would bring chaos and a great evil to everyone, but they did not hear it, so Dike moved away to the mountains to isolate herself. When the era of bronze and iron arrived and humans were already lost in countless wars, Dike abandoned humanity for good and ascended to the heavens. Other tales also related are those of Persephone, Demeter and among others ... Hercules - Son of Zeus with the mortal Alcmene, as soon as he was a baby, Zeus carried him to the breast of Hera who was asleep, and after drinking her milk he became immortal, but Hera was furious about it, and since she couldn't kill Hercules, she decided to curse him, so when he was already an adult, Hera enchanted him and made him kill his wife and children, after he was free of the curse and desperate he asked Apollo for help, who gave him 12 tasks, better known as 12 heroic labors, and as soon as he completed, he would be forgiven and free. After completing his missions, Hercules fell in love with Deianira and got married, years later when they were both going to cross a river, a centaur named Nessus appeared and said he would help carry Deianira on his back, but when Hercules was already on the other side, Nessus tried to abuse Deianira, Hercules then used an arrow poisoned with Hydra's blood and killed Nessus, before he died, Nessus told Deianira that he had blood with the power to make anyone fall in love, and that she should keep it if something bad about Hercules was suspect. After rescuing a princess named Iole and having a party, Deianira, afraid that Hercules would fall in love with the woman, enchanted a shirt with the blood of Nessus and gave it to Hercules to wear, the poison cursed his body, rotting it with the time. Hercules then climbed up to Mount Etna, where he burned his mortal body and his immortal essence ascended to Olympus, Zeus honored Hercules by placing his image in the skies. 0:57 - 1:01 - This passage refers to the story of Asclepius, because once he left, there is no more salvation. 1:19 - 1:34 - This excerpt refers to the story of Dike, for having warned humans of a great danger that was approaching, but they did not hear and then she left. 2:11 - 2:31 - This passage can be a little confusing, but I believe it is linked to the story of Hercules, at the time when Nessus tried to abuse her, and he used his infected arrow to kill him, and by the thirst of chaos from Hera. and also on the screen the constellation of Hercules is shown directly. Conclusion: An unknown virus spread by the humanoid, great voices would have said that this danger was approaching, but they could not prevent it, infecting everyone, and secretly in the end, maybe it is someone's bigger plan for the thirst for chaos. Well, but it's my opinion! Thank you if you read this far, it took a bit of work to do, and sorry if it is a strange or uncertain writing, I am a young Brazilian girl still learning English! But I really appreciate the stars, and also the Starset's music! : D

ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO MAKE A BAD SONG, I WILL STAND BY THIS

I wanna thank RU-vid for randomly putting this in my feed. I wanna thank Starset for making this beauty of a banger. I wanna thank Myself for having a good taste in music.

神曲をありがとうstarset そしてマジでアークナイツの世界観に合いすぎ、Unbecomingも大好き

Still can't believe how Arknights introduced me to Starset and just realized how much time I've wasted not knowing they existed easily my favorite band as of now

It is impossible for Starset to have a bad song. They don’t even have a “okay” song, everything is a masterpiece.

Just a friendly Doktah dropping by here after the JP Arknights Livestream just a moment ago. Wanted to say thanks to Starset for the spicy kickass Collab. It's quite awesome to have a crossover between two communities that I thoroughly enjoy. Love the music and the atmosphere it creates, as well as the story it tells. As always: Cheers everyone! ^_^

I'm seeing a lot of comments here about a crossover with Arknights, and about this being a cut track from Divisions. But here me out for a sec: If this song came out 2 years ago, and it was thrown in an album? I'd think "Heck yeah! Just another part of Starset's dystopian fiction. Awesome!!" But, uh..... Am I the only one who hears a venting song about the pandemic in these lyrics?? Somehow, that makes it *even more badass* with that connection. Starset has always had a theme of "we are messengers of a terrible future, and these are our survivor's anthems!" - But this isn't the battles between CVR and TSS. This is our own battles, our survival, and our story. This song is *our transmission* to the past world, telling the tale of our trials we've fought together.

"And if we hate the way this world has become but there aint no cure for it". Damn if that aint the truth in the world of Arknights.

For everybody who didn't know, This song was used as the song for Arknights 2nd Anniversary PV, it's a game

Starset came along right when I was so devastated Chester Bennington from LP died, and I’ve kinda replaced that emptiness listening to these guys. I simply love their music.

No idea this was an ArKnight colab. It sounds like the Starset you expect and Love, it's amazing. This chorus is beyond catchy and those strings.. Mhhmmmm, another Gem from my favourite Band, how fortunate are we to be blessed by such music.

Clicked so fast that I just opened up a wormhole between past and future

I didn’t even hear it yet, I just clicked and I know I’m gonna like it.

POV: You found the best rock band in the world

I go back here after the new AK's lore bomb dropped on CN server today.

Imagine if this song is used in the next Contingency Contract. I would stay in the lobby for the whole two weeks

I'm in a job interview. I left yelling "Starset uploaded video!"

I've known starset for quite a few years now, my first song of them being "my demons". They just got me into Arknights since yesterday. I first didn't like it when I saw it on release, not a fan of gacha games, but I really appreciate the way Arknights solved the endless struggle of waleing vs F2P. But the real reason why I play it is for it's huge story.

Arknights + Starset = perfection

People who've known Starset for a long time must be like: "what the hell is Arknights and is it edible"

As a die-hard starset fan, I welcome the arknights fans into the starset society with open arms, our love for music and arknights has brought us together.

"We hate the way this world has become but there aint no cure for it". This line really give me goosebumb

This song will be good for chapter 9.... Arknights....

Thank you Lowlight for bringing this to existence

Never clicked a link faster than this before

Revisiting this song because "Babel" now the tone and lyrics hit twice as hard

Man who would have thought I'd fall this far into the Starset rabbit hole after hearing one song in an Arknights trailer two years ago?

This is why Starset is my favorite band. They physically cannot make a bad song

I know that Starset only makes bangers but DAMN They really outdid themselves, and this isn't just my Arknights bias speaking.

This isn't my type of music. Didn't even know who they were before last weekend. They played locally in a small city opening for Breaking Benjamin. So this opening band that I've never heard of put on an act that left me with goosebumps, hell they have such an amazing stage presence that they were better than BB! You guys just earned a lifetime fan, can't wait to see yall again!

imagine if this was their extraordinary way of saying "we have corona"

Above the video title, it is @/starset​ @/infected​ @/arknights Now you know why there are so many Arknights fans here. The process is this, ak's initial two PVs used Starset's Monster and Unbecoming respectively. As a gacha mobile game, this style is very unique compared to contemporaries, and it quickly attracted a group of players, meanwhile many of them also become the fans of Starset. At Arknights first anniversary, Starset sang a live version of Monster and Unbecoming for the celebration, and announced that they would produce an exclusive song for ak, which is Infected. Fans of the band may be confused by the sudden appearance of gamers, but please understand, many Arknights fans have been waiting for a whole year.

Starset is the only thing in this world that make me run to click the video and see it thousands times

Hello fellow Dokutahs

I've been a starset fan for years, probably four-five years, and holy crap-- I haven't stopped listening to starset, ever. Literally my favorite band. And this song... IS TWO YEARS OLD?! I REMEMBER WHEN THIS ALBUM WASN'T FULLY RELEASED. I'm also going to the concert in April (part of the tour) and that's my birth month! I adore starset. Thank you for years of amazing music!

This made my day!! Anyone else?

The worst part about this is that it ends.

アークナイツのティザーpvから。 かっこええ

Starset is such an incredible band. Four months later, and I'm still obsessed with this song. Can't wait for more. Thanks for everything!

Back then kids, we had Linkin Park and Transformers. Now we have STARSET and Arknights. Time sure flies by for old timer like me.

WAIT HOL ON YOU CANT JUST RELEASE A NEW SONG WHILE IM IN CLASS 😭

I've been a fan of both Starset and Arknights before this collab even happened but I'm just happy it did

This song just screams Arknights Bless you all Doctors And bless you Starset for this gem of a song

"If our footprints are destined to be buried by time." "Then we shall never stop moving forward."

Here's to hoping Starset's 4th album coming out this year.

He ain't wrong when he says "here's a challenge for all mankind the preacher man is warning of the end times"

I got the honor of hearing you guys sing this live for the first time! You guys sound amazing live! Thanks for standing in for theory during the labor day shinedown concert! Who knew theory canceling would of been a good thing!!

Saying that this is a masterpiece isn’t enough to describe how fantastic this is.

STARSET X ARKNIGHTS = MASTERPIECE

I found a post in Arknights Reddit and that says he respect Hypergryph and Arknights for choosing Starset as a project and he gonna play the game if he finish his exam

Transmissions: Mission Start Vessles: Tap in the radio and send the message Divsions: Message sent we now must act Infected Album: Is it too late?

Dustin really said, "Let's have the calmest anarchy in the worlds." Edit: Should've expected this to get political. I just wanted to point out something funny.

This better come out in the next album

I swear to god,Starset just CANT be bad. They truly are underrated no matter how many listens they have already

"We will hate the way this world has become but there aint no cure for it" slaps harder than will smith

My boyfriend and I love Starset, soon as I saw the notification I clicked on it and waited for his reaction. He turned to me with pure shock and said "WHAT IS THAT!?" Needless to say we love the song and are stoked for the new album

If anyone is here after the Arknights 2nd anniversary stream, you are a fellow doctor.

I'm from Ark nights and what the hell is with this band! They are the coolest!

I've only known starset for 3 days, but it's now my favourite band.

I’m a simple man: I see someone upload a song, I hear it 2 minutes later I see starsetonline upload: I click so fast I create a paradox

Arknights always manages to find the best songs to pair with

one of my only goals in life is to meet another starset fan i actually cant contain my love for this band anymore

I am Japanese. I'm from Arknights. I think it's a very good song. I also wanted you to make a song for Arknights.

Ear bleeding from blasting music is now officially a spreadable diease. It's codename: Starset.

Not playing Arknights is okay. Not playing gacha games in general is also okay. But disliking this banger of a song is definitely not okay.

First Time Listening: This song is ok Second Time: Wow, this is actually really good Third Time: "ONE BY ONE PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND RUN!!!!!!!"

I'm glad I have siblings. They are the ones who find and recommend great bands for me to listen to... like this awesome group. Rock on Starset!!!

Omg best Monday ever

I've been into Starset since 2014. Once I started playing Arknights, and realized the connection between the two, I knew I did the right thing.

Well, shit! If this doesn't sum up the past year or 2, then I must be wrong. I swear, Starset speaks on so many levels. Their music speaks a deep meaning on human nature/psychology.

INFECTED Lyrics [Verse 1] I think we did it this time There's something in the air inside, the star shine There's something in the air we'll never know I can feel it take hold, infected They're calling on the land lines The senators are standing on the shorelines The warning lights are burning all aglow Now we reap what we sow, infected [Chorus] We do it one by one Put your hands up and run We're addicted to the panic And we hate the way This world has become But there ain't no cure for it We've been infected, infected Infected, Infected Infected, Infected Infected, Infected [Verse 2] Here's a challenge for all mankind The preacher man is warning of the end times The weatherman agrees but he don't know So he's got to go now [Chorus] We do it one by one Put your hands up and run We're addicted to the panic And we hate the way This world has become But there ain't no cure for it We've been infected, infected Infected, Infected Infected, Infected Infected, Infected [Bridge] One if by land and two if by sea Maybe it's both and we'll all get lucky Go to the end, man, don't quit on me Get what you wanted Anarchy [Chorus] One by one Put your hands up and run We're addicted to the panic And we hate the way This world has become But there ain't no cure for it We've been infected, infected Infected, Infected Infected, Infected Infected, Infected

Arknight player is one fire right now because of this song🔥🔥🔥🔥

Starset realising a masterpiece, doesn't matter when you read this

2 totally different types of communities being able to enjoy something in common? I didn't know that was possible

I think it’s funny that this was released during a pandemic.

Here before all the doktahs from Rhodes Island invaded. Time to set up the camp-site for my Ak brethren.

Im not even through the song. It's beautiful

"One if by land and two if by sea Maybe it's both and we'll all get lucky" THIS. PART. EVERYTIME. GOOSEBUMPS. There is so much hidden meaning behind those lines. I dont know what it is myself and I like the mystery.

Fellow doctor standing by this art of music

Starset has such a solid fanbase! Dudes simply can't make a bad song. #1 band for me.

I really love how powerful and raw Dustin's vocals are there!

I’ve been such a huge fan. I’ve been a fan since a few months after the first album’s release. I tracked the release date for the second and fell in love! The third album didn’t blow me away like the others but I loved some of the songs (Trials and Echo). Now this song is out and I’m super excited again! Starset is my all time favorite band. I’m so ready for the next album now with this new song! ❤️❤️❤️

U guys musics will be bound to AK from this moment on, so peak

Bless Starset & Arknights for bringing this masterpiece. FYI, this music is used for official arknights 2nd Anniversary secret PV (which broadcasted last saturday) , hence the incoming Arknights fans. Please be understanding of us...

The moment I’m about to work.,, listening to this instead.

With HORIZON's release, I saw that this song was included in the album... Here we thought it was a single for Arknights, just a random song not included in any album... When in reality we got an appetizer for what would come some months later, what a nice surprise, thank you Starset

I remember when starset first formed i was here for it since day one and im glad to say that this band is my forever favorite these guys are unable to make a bad song they just can't i ve gotten through the worst years of my life listening to their music it helped me when no one else wouldand now that im happy in life it also makes me feel happier its a band that for me can never be topped all ican hope for is a lot more good music from u guys i waish a day comes and i can see u performing live ❤️❤️
