Starset - Monster (Official Music Video) 

He was the ugly truth, awakening them from the beautiful lie.

That moment when the 'monster' is the only one trying to save everyone

My friend: "Is Starset a Pop, Rock, or Metal Band?" Me: Yes

Just after I saw Facebook announcing its Metaverse project, this song and the music video were the first things to pop up into my mind, what I like about Starset the most is that their songs aren't only entertaining to listen to but it also holds interesting ideas

This band is like a whole new level of music.

WHY STARSET IS NOT SO FUCKING FAMOUS???? THIS BAND DESERVE MORE ATTENTION!!!!!

This premise is literally so cool: The shadowy figure, the darkness is always there, but in the dark lies the light of reality. The truth hurts, but the truth is empowering if we allow ourselves to fully accept it. The way that girl fell apart after seeing her reality, at first resisting the shadow's intent to help, the way she gradually calmed down and took its hand was so cool. Starset is and always will be one of my favorites.

I clicked on this by mistake... and holy shit is my mistake the best thing that happened to me for a while

How to Starset: - Be fucking epic - Be born in outer space - hire space ninjas

This song/video speaks volumes to people that can’t hear it yet

My Love for Starset is beyond our universe

I've just realized that whole "Monster" can be about the relationship between humans and technology. Isn't it true that it consumes our innocence and making us monsters? That we love and hate it at the same time?

Starset light the flame that kickstart Arknights and now the game reached till a point where it's just so damn awesome, please Starset make a song for the anime

Here after "Apple's Vision Pro" release. Reminded me of this video.

Starset was the band we needed to save todays music

Other bands: driving expensive car with a bunch of girls Starset: makes a movie

Anyone from 2024 ??

Starset predicted the metaverse🥶

I loved how only that girl could sense the person, and he looked so surrprised. And decided there were actually someone he could save

If Starset made a movie based on their songs I would pay to see it over 100 times. Anyone else?

This song gives me chills... Even after a year of active listening... I bet I've listened to it like 50 times without exaggeration...

Starset is like that perfect medium of metal and synthwave and they play it so perfectly that it's like a work of art, I can never get enough of them.

Today, I saw a video of the people wearing the Apple googles and came here immediately, it just made me remember the videoclip of this song

Our generation had Linkin Park. This generation gets Starset. Edit: Checking in two years later. Really surprised I have 3.7k likes. I'd like to thank my mom, my dad, and my cat Connie. I couldn't have done it without you guys. Edit: 3 years later, this comment has spiraled into 6k likes. Ya'll are kings and queens. To celebrate, I'm buying Connie some of the fancy canned stuff. Thanks for making my lil chica happy.

This song is so deep lyrically and videowise. For me it shows how no matter how perfect our lives may seem, we all struggle with something. Some more, some less. Just look at today's social media: you won't see many people talking about their issues, addictions, depression, heartbreak... Instead, they'll post photos of their vacations, their perect makeup, the food they ate. We create a bubble, a virtual reality to escape into, but outside that bubble, we will always have issues and struggle with something, anything. We have fo stop pretending everything's alright and act now. Be kind to each other, maybe it makes them smile for the first time that week..

The hooded figure with a glitchy face serves as the one who is asked to change them. They initially are seen as a monster because they do not resemble anything that the girl is able to comprehend until she realizes that the monster is in fact her savior. He brought the change that was needed and revealed to the girl the lie that she had been immersed in. Sometimes those we think are monsters are in fact the ones who we need the most.

This video is over 4 years old but is the prefect examples of what Facebooks Meta is going to be

Anyone here after Arknights dropped a fucking lore bomb? The song fits pre-amnesia Doctor so damn well it's insane

I love the song, but am I the only one that's more interested in the story? I would love to see a movie made from this idea.

My dad just heard this on the radio. I'm glad that you guys are becoming more popular.

Everytime i hear about the Metaverse, i think of this video.

This band is the definition of ideas, not only is there songs life inspiring but they give off a lot of ideas for new movies. I wouldn't be surprised if one day they made their own movie or series.

I thought starset had died and it was the end of the band and BOOM! A NEW ALBUN! FOLLOW THAT STARSET, I LOVE YOU, THE BEST BAND THAT COULD EXIST IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE

My favorite part 0:00 - 4:23

I love all Starset songs, but I have to say this is their Magnum Opus. Absolute masterpiece.

I wrote a POV about a person who's head was similar to the world in the video... difference is that he always thought the people he loved would be there when he woke up. But in the end, he kept putting it off, switching realties/dreams, and died. But this was long after my family and I discovered STARSET. I remember I found it that afternoon a few years ago when I was skipping through Pandora and had to dig deeper. Once my aunt came home later, she said that she wanted to share a new band her co-worker had recommended with us. She put on I believe it was either Demons or Monster, but regardless, she was a bit shocked when she found me walking out of my room singing the lyrics by heart on my way to the kitchen as she was blasting it from the TV. Good times...

This song is basically telling us to stop letting the way we live our lives be centered around what we want. Because even our wildest dreams can corrupt our minds if we let it become more important than the people we love and love us. It's like when you're in a dream and everything is perfect in your mind, you don't wanna leave bc everything is the way you want it to be, then sooner or later you realize it's all in your head and then you start to lose cotrol of your thoughts and everything changes into a nightmare and the only way you can escape is by waking up. So when we awake, we are free to make decisions without our mind losing control, and we can use our mistakes to learn and become a better person. I hope this helps for those of you that are reading this :)

put your hand in the air if Starset is your favorite band *raises hand*

My daughter and I went to the Breaking Benjamin concert last night in Savannah, GA. Neither of us had heard of Starset previously. They were AWESOME! What a great performance!! You guys have two new fans here.

Damn they teased the Apple Vision Pros before we even knew 😮

Happiness blinds us Sadness reminds us

WHY DOES THIS HAVE SO FEW VIEWS IT DESERVES AT LEAST 10 MILLION AT THIS POINT

-Fuchteufelswild, Leigh Fleming... -Fuchteufelswild, Heist Stein. 🛐🛐🛐🛐

This looks like the step before everyone gets those lights installed in their head. This tech with the visors is perfected into implants, making it much more difficult to get out of the trap than just taking your visor off. And still, it's more difficult to do that already than to just put a phone down or look away from a computer screen

Starset is basically the Alan Walker of rock music.

First time I hear it: yes, it's okay. Now: fuck, I can not stop listening to him!

Starset is so underrated

Funny... how slowly we are descending into what this video shows us.

This video tells so much to us, it's wonderful. In my opinion it can mean that in later times no one is happy anymore in the world, so they use these colorful things to replace reality. However, there is someone, the monster, who is the only one living with all that is real. He tries to awaken people and he succeeds finally, maybe his love? You can see how shocked the girl is when she sees the real world, she even throws up and cried, feeling the weight of reality again.

Me haz sorprendido Leigh, quién más viene por Heist?

Three years ago, I watched this video and fell in love, because a WWE professional wrestler known as "Bray Wyatt" (Windham Rotunda) posted it on his Twitter during a really interesting time in his career as he transformed into a "monster" character. That man has passed away either sometime today or yesterday, I'm kind of just now consuming all the news about it. Devastating loss, he was a brilliant creative genius and according to pretty much the entire WWE as a whole had nothing but love and adoration for the man's true life "character." A friend to all, beloved by his peers as much as fans. He had good fucking taste in music, too. This song is forever one of my favorites, now it holds a whole new meaning that I will cherish with both fond memories and introspective melancholy. RIP

I just discovered this band and I am so insanely happy I decided to click and find my newest favorite band.

1 day left 'til the album Vessels is out! #hyped

The Grim Reaper comes to take us but when he gets there he realizes that everyone is already dead inside.

2024, the apple vision pro has been announced, and this music video is about to become a reality

Ahora cada vez que la escucho recuerdo a Heist y Leigh🛐✨

Starset video quality has hella gone up since their first videos, who's with me? 😂

I love you starset ❤️❤️

Seen these guys 2 years ago in concert one of the best acts I've seen and they were an opening act!

It makes me mad how underrated STARSET is. In my opinion, they are THE BEST rock band. Anyone else concur? Thank you STARSET! Keep making the best rock songs in the universe!

So this song has a deep philosophical meaning and I'm going to attempt to decrypt it The robed figure is both Death and Truth. He is as well a Monster in their eyes as they see him strip away their paradise. He is Death/Monster because he leads to the demise of their virtual Nirvana. He is truth because he lifts the veil so they can see the true world around them and how they left their issues behind for an illusion of bliss. The advanced headsets could be an example for drugs as people take use it to find bliss calm and peace while everything else crumbles around them. The woman is the first to realize the issue that somethings wrong and it can't stay like that forever. The Pyramid things are generating their simulated wonderland while the end Truth tells her of something to end it like and EMP to destroy the system and wake them up which is the huge thing at the end. The overall message is to wake up and make a change before everything else crumbles before you while you ignored it.

After listening to this from Arknights' trailer... I can tell that whoever that made the trailer had really good taste in music. Mmhm~

Cuando mis tíos o parientes que vivieron el rock y el metal de los 80's me comentan que en estos tiempos sólo hay puro reggaeton o trap, siempre pongo de ejemplo a Starset o grupos como Skillet para demostrar que aún existen buenos grupos, obviamente con nuevas técnicas y efectos, pero con el mismo poder, aunque claro no están tan difundidos como en aquellos años.

They predicted the Metaverse. Wake up, fellas.

I interpreted the video this way. The robed figure is an angel trying to see who he can save in the end. The helmets represent worldly distractions, addictions, and things that keep people from seeing the light. That woman in the video thought she was happy, but then she sensed that there was something wrong and did not feel truly satisfied. Sensing this, the angel or the robed figure took the helmet off or helped remove the distractions that prevented her from seeing the light. When the truth was revealed, the woman was in shock, but she finally accepted the truth. Since she was the only one who accepted the truth, the angel or robed figure took her out of harm's way. That is how I saw this video.

Monster 100%

vuelvo a escuchar esta canción después de años... definitivamente se siente como la primera vez, me encanta

It's happening, everyone wake up apple just released a Goggle that's exactly like what this video portrays, it already happening, soon everyone is gonna be like the people in this video, it's just like starset predicted the future 😂 or maybe it's just the future transmissions I dunno but it's all unraveling too quickly

Under the knife I surrendered The innocence yours to consume You cut it away And you filled me up with hate Into the silence you sent me Into the fire consumed You thought I'd forget But it's always in my head You're the pulse in my veins You're the war that I wage Can you change me? Can you change me? You're the love that I hate You're the drug that I take Will you cage me? Will you cage me? You're the pulse in my veins You're the war that I wage Can you change me? Can you change me? From the monster you made me? The monster you made me? This is the world you've created The product of what I've become My soul and my youth Seems it's all for you to use If I could take back the moment I let you get under my skin Relent or resist Seems the monster always wins You're the pulse in my veins You're the war that I wage Can you change me? Can you change me? You're the love that I hate You're the drug that I take Will you cage me? Will you cage me? You're the pulse in my veins You're the war that I wage Can you change me? Can you change me? From the monster you made me? From the monster you made me? My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul I lift you up and then I let you go I've made an art of digging shallow holes I'll drop the tiniest seed and watch it grow My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul Who knew the emptiness could be so cold? I've lost the parts of me that make me whole I am the darkness I'm a monster You're the pulse in my veins You're the war that I wage Can you change me? Can you change me? You're the love that I hate You're the drug that I take Will you cage me? Will you cage me? You're the pulse in my veins You're the war that I wage Can you change me? Can you change me? From the monster you made me? From the monster you made me? From the monster you made me? From the monster you made me? 和訳 そのナイフで俺を降して お前のために用意した純粋さを お前は切り取って捨てた。 そして俺の中を憎しみで満たして、 沈黙の中へ 燃え尽きた火の中へ放り込んだ。 お前は俺が忘れたと思っているだろう。 だが俺の頭の中からそれが消えたことは無かった。 お前は俺の脈拍そのものだ。 お前は俺の戦いそのものだ。 お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前は俺の憎む愛そのものだ。 お前は俺の使う薬物そのものだ。 俺を閉じ込めるつもりか? 俺を閉じ込めるつもりか? お前は俺の脈拍そのものだ。 お前は俺の戦いそのものだ。 お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前が俺を化物にしたのに? お前が作った化物なのに? ここはお前が創り上げた世界だ。 その中で俺はお前の被造物になった。 俺の魂も若さも すべてがお前の為にあるかのようだ。 もし俺があの瞬間を取り返せるなら 俺の内側をお前に見せよう。 融和か抵抗か いつも勝つのは化物の方なんだ。 お前は俺の脈拍そのものだ。 お前は俺の戦いそのものだ。 お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前は俺の憎む愛そのものだ。 お前は俺の使う薬物そのものだ。 俺を閉じ込めるつもりか? 俺を閉じ込めるつもりか? お前は俺の脈拍そのものだ。 お前は俺の戦いそのものだ。 お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前が俺を化物にしたのに? お前が俺を化物にしたのに? 俺の心は狡猾な囮の魂だ。 俺はお前を持ち上げて、それから放す。 俺は浅い穴を掘る術を考えていた。 そこに一番小さい種を落として、成長していくのを見ていくんだ。 俺の心は狡猾な囮の魂だ。 あの虚無があれほど冷たくなると誰が知るだろう？ 俺は自分全てを成している物の一部を失った。 俺は暗闇だ。 俺は化物だ。 お前は俺の脈拍そのものだ。 お前は俺の戦いそのものだ。 お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前は俺の憎む愛そのものだ。 お前は俺の使う薬物そのものだ。 俺を閉じ込めるつもりか? 俺を閉じ込めるつもりか? お前は俺の脈拍そのものだ。 お前は俺の戦いそのものだ。 お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前に俺が変えられるのか? お前が俺を化物にしたのに? お前が俺を化物にしたのに? お前が俺を化物にしたのに? お前が俺を化物にしたのに?

To be honestly, that video shows the reality of the world.

Heist gracias ahora tengo una nueva canción que no puedo sacar de mi cabeza ✨✨✨

Those unable to accept reality never truly live.

Starset is horrible... At making bad songs B)

Starset isn't what's next. Starset is now!

Is it just me or would the Starset Monster Character make a great idea for SCP.

The Apple Vision Pro 👀

This is how it feels to be awake in a world of sleepers. Then.. The sleeper has awaken.

If it wasn’t for Arknights I would’ve never found this gem 😭

You don't need your unfortunate past to change you. You can do it by yourself. Let the monster they turned you into become the strength you need to overcome the next obstacle. You can fight through any addiction, any hardship if you turn your inner monster towards the things that ruined you. Stand up for what your heart screams at you when you get high or go back to a previous lover. Yell "NEVER AGAIN!" as your battle cry. 4 years sober from hard drugs and bad relationships. Stay grounded at least, but if you can find your strength, rise above. Nothing else in the world should matter until you purge your demons and become yourself again.

Yup like many people the moment i saw the new apple vision come out and saw how they looked on people instantly reminded me of this music video lol

Who else is surprised that this "shadow figure" turned out to be a good guy?

maybe this dark, hooded figure can meet the dark, hooded figure from The Vengeful One and they can both try to out edge themselves

i cant wait their performance in the concert ambience synthesia Arknight gang rise up

This was already said twice, so I'll say it again: To all doctors of Rhodes Island, WELCOME TO THE STARSET SOCIETY.

holy shit. why is starset's music SO DAMN GOOD?! this song is addictive, i can't stop hitting replay

Life after Apple vision pro

These lyrics hit different when your struggling with life... I don't recommend struggle, but if you are, I deffinatley recommend this music for it. "In the end, the monster always wins." #truth.

I think starset music is if heavy metal and electronic music had a baby

There are SO many songs called “Monster” but this is the best on, :P

This song now that Meta is about to start...

RU-vid lyrics are changing my life seriously I feel bad for not knowing about it sooner

If someone could create movie from this video, where main character would be that Woman and shadow guy... I would watch that for sure.

You can try to escape from reality all you want.......but life is always going to be here to tell you otherwise and after that......death itself is always looming. No computer, no virtual reality, no anything can stop that.

Starset should consider combining multiple music videos to make one giant movie/video. That'd be AWESOME

İ am now realized what starsets musics are make you happier when you are unhappy but when you happy it makes you feel like you are the chosen one or something but I am a nothing

So everyone is inside a simulation, but what if they are inside a simulation inside a simulation? Jks, I love it. ;0

Every time I see this video, I think - is it really worth it? Why abandon the simulation in which you are happy, only to learn the painful truth?

This is my theory of the music video. The white static "Monster" is something or someone in an alternate dimension that humans cannot comprehend. Or he is in reality and the colorful the people live in is a made up fantasy that blocks out reality. The monster walks around and watches everyone, and observes. With one person in particular, she can see the monster, or at least feel his presence. Intrigued, the monster takes off her "mask," snaps her back to reality, and shows her what it is really like. Horrified at first, she runs and tries to fight. However, realizing she can't escape reality, that being the black and white land where the monster lives, she walks with the monster and shows her the made up world she has been living in. The monster then shows her his plan. To have everyone come back to reality. Because reality is a terrible thing, and wants people to come and accept it, instead of running from it like everyone else is doing. Living in a fake colorful world free from problems. She agrees, and to, and they start the monsters conquest... This theory makes the lyrics even more powerful and adds so much more depth to the video and song as a whole. The fact that the monster isn't really a monster and is only considered one by the people living in the fake world changes what the monster is. its a monster because it ruined their lives. it horrified them, when all it wanted was for them to stop living in this fake world and accept reality. The moral here is "Are you willing to accept reality with me, or view me as a monster?" Well done Starset

My father accidentally clicked & listened to this music and said: This is a better mistake than you
