LYRICS
loving
hating
hoping
faking
i’ve been digging through the dirt that was left behind
i've been dredging through the mud for it
there's nothing that’s alive or dead inside
in you or in this
the crucifix in my hand's a lie
cause nothing ever kills you
i watered down the pain till the well went dry
so pray for rain
and it gnawed
rose to the top again
back like a long-lost friend
a wretch that i can't defend
oh, my god
is this where the dreamer ends?
dark where the light had been
lost at the war within
and it clawed
back in the world again
here for new revenge
an enemy i can't condemn
oh, my god
is this where the liar ends?
dark where the light had been
lost at the war within
out of myself i feel it crawling
how can i tell if this is the ending
out of myself it began evolving
i am not well, repent i'm guilty
how can i tell if the sky is falling
how can i fix what there is no mending
how can i tell if i am not well
i've lost myself
i have come undone
and all of the horses
and all of the men
won't put it back in place
or bury it where it had been
when all of the forces
have been overrun
you'll whisper, serpent tongue
what you fear you have become
something wicked this way comes
something wicked this way comes

Transmissions: "Epic space feeling instrumental outro"
Vessels: "Epic orchestra outro"
Divisions: "Epic crowd people singing outro"
Horizons: "Silence"
Trueeeeep
It makes the song three times more ominous...
The apocalypse
*epic silence*
@@japo1005 Turn your volume up, don't know if you knew but at the end he whispers "Something Wicked This Way Comes..."
This song explains what it feels like to fall into a trap where you work so hard to destroy what you hate the most only to become that very monster yourself. Right from the get-go, the album works itself up, curating feelings of joy, pride, and then into hatred, contempt and resentment for something, only to communicate to us that we've become that very thing we resent so much. Brilliant play all around, and wish they could do a live set piece of just this album.
The deeper meaning is always somewhere in these Starset songs, and I love how it's infinitely interpretable.
So true!
I feel like the song is far darker, hes clearly referring to sin. Its a warning, or some kind of omnious warning to someone who sins or commits wrong, that the illusion will be destroyed, you casted yourself into darkness. The person in question is struggling to distinguish between right and wrong, close to death? He refers to the serpent, the serpent is usually a moniker for Satan, this is really a weird song for starset lol.
@@Elmo914 really doubt it's actually about sin, I feel Dustin is using sin as a metaphor for something else concerning as he's always been pretty anti religion lol
Super late to this but the song is about addiction.
I was fully expecting this to be a heavy song though I'm not disappointed in the slightest. This has such an eerie vibe to it and I'm digging it!
Last song in the album had been a slower one since Vessels. This is actually heavy for their last song compared to the last few.
@@DaughterOfLilith08 I am well aware xD It has very Everglow/telekenetic vibes with how it builds up. I was simply expecting it to be something heavy the entire time.
@@artixi3291 and i was expecting soft, but it's heavier than i anticipated, lol
The build up is suspenseful, it's worth the wait
Reminds of dark on me
I love the line "i watered down the pain till the well went dry, so pray for rain"
It's like someone taking painkillers to ease the pain, but never adresses it's source.
I love how Starset combines elements of Christianity and Folklore/Mythology with science and sci-fi when it comes to the lyrics and themes of their albums.
yeah, this song kind of reminded me of Demon Hunter's style. As I'm not well-versed in metal genre, there might actually be proper name for this kind of songs.
everything about this song is so goddamn perfect
the symbol being a corrupted version of the divisions logo, the lyrics, the ending, the symbolism, the song itself
it became my favourite of the album the moment it started playing and it won't leave my head for a while
I think it's also supposed to resemble a pentagram, based on the line "the crucifix in my hand's a lie"
@@e.ee.e7786 yeah, I love that detail too
@@e.ee.e7786 it’s mostly just the divisions simple turned upside down right
@@gabor7524 it's the divisions logo turned upside down with a circle around it, like a pentagram
@@gabor7524, It's an upside down pentagram with a circle around it which in the occult represents the goat's head. A symbol synonymous with the devil and the antichrist. The epitome of pure evil aka definitely "something wicked".
this...
this is art.
dustin whispering... is something I never knew I needed.
@Dragon On Coke noted
ASMRcore
Yes, Dustin should do a audiobook, I would listen to it forever, haha 😃❤
you can say that again
especially since you use it as your pfp
“Something wicked this way comes” perfect ending to an album warning of the impending doom that approaches. Absolute chills. Masterful end to a flawless album
I don’t know why, but this song feels like a cliffhanger more than an ending. It’s just that because of how eerie and suspenseful it is, I feel that it’s hinting towards something bigger. Nevertheless, I absolutely loved this album and anticipate that it will grow on me big time. This is why I love Starset, because half the time I can’t tell whether I’m just listening to a song or watching a movie (that among many other reasons). Anyway, listening to this album all over again is going to be a huge task, but Starset made sure it’d be worth it to do over and over again.
Transmissions had us set with a great adventure. Vessels had us set on the horrible aftermath of that adventure. Divisions had us caught in a war. Horizons had us in the ending of that war. I fully expect the aftermath of the war to be the topic of the next album.
@@FaultyStar274 This is by far the greatest musical cliffhanger to date. Cannot wait to hear the next album!!!!!
@@FaultyStar274 No, I feel as if this CD caught us in the end of a human war. This, this is the setup for an intergalactic war. Something wicked this way comes.
@@jaydakotawest4401 that is a possibility
@@jaydakotawest4401 The quote "Something wicked this way comes" is out of a famous play called Macbeth, told by Shakespeare.
The quote is said by the 3 witches, it alludes to the fact that Macbeth carries the seeds to his own downfall. Why do I mention this? Well bc every poetry reference said up to this point in these songs had a fork of meaning which later had parallels to what it was referencing. Your theory is a good one, trust me no one has brought that up from what I've seen, but looking at this from a logical point I believe Dustin plans to show us what had happened to the Starset Society after this album.
You'll whisper, serpent tongue
What you fear you have become
What an eerie sound, how both Otherworldly and this one can be on same record is beyond me
I think that it makes sense, since the whole album, and most of the lyrics talk about light and trying to reach the light. But, at the end, every hope to be there has disappeared.
I think it's equivalent to grief. Or, at least, it is for me. When you are on the top of the world, and you spiral down to the abyss. You can go from Otherworldly to Somethink Wicked in a flash.
This is a fucking masterpiece. Dustin, please make a progressive metal album.
Bless you, I think I just discovered my favourite genre. Never knew what this sort of music was called.
@@uprisingstorm2493 I meant that I went and listened to a bunch of progressive metal music after reading his comment and was blown away :)
@@uprisingstorm2493 haha, all good! I really love Teramaze’s music, Sorella Minore is amazing. And also Soen, specifically the songs EMDR, River, and Lotus. I just love the otherworldly feel of it all. Got any recommendations? 😄
That would be great! 🔥
Dustin's vocal range is insanely good!
Our local radio station here in Memphis 98.1 had a request on creepy songs for Halloween and I put this on there and it was a big hit everyone was calling to ask who this was lol
When I was watching the stream I was like "what else?" at the end. But it was a great ending for a brutal album.
It left me with an uneasy feeling because becoming what I feared the most is my biggest nightmare.
You, guys, know how to move my emotions. Great album.
i dont know what should i feel, so im feeling everything at the same time lol starset being starset....
Somehow i remember you from a comment in the transmissions album...
@@icewalocum9441 hi, yeah, it could be. I comment a lot on starset videos, sorry 😅
I think Transmissions remain my favorite album 😅
@@kodokunamurasaki yes! I know! It's just the feelings Starset could give
@@katiaromero7149 i used to try to make new friends in the comments of their videos, so Hi from Brazil XD
I didn't have the song list at hand when watching the live. So Infected stopped playing and I assumed it was over, then THIS started playing. And, my god. MY GOD. I could've died on that instant because I was so suprised, but, this track's just too good to let me die. Now it's my best memory of the release, and I absolutely adore it
The steam followed the album track list, which was freely available on any website selling the album (Amazon for example)
@@josephkreifelsii3734 yeah but searching for it would've made me stop watching the stream, as my phone was my only device
Saaaaaame. I really want to feel every day like that
“OH MY GOD IS THIS WHERE THE DREAMER ENDS? DARK WHERE THE LIGHT HAD BEEN”🎻
💔❤️
This is such a great ending to the album. It leaves the listener with an eerie feeling, like calm before the storm, and goes especially in theme with Devolution and Infected. To me it serves as impending doom.
"Something wicked this way comes".
Now honestly, I was expecting some heavy screams there at the end, but instead got something better - deafening silence. Louder than any sound, as you try to take in and assimilate this breathless journey.
Absolutely amazing.
Out of the whole album this one gets stuck in my head the most.
"out of myself i feel it crawling
how can i tell if this is the ending
out of myself it began evolving
i am not well, repent i'm guilty
how can i tell if the sky is falling
how can i fix what there is no mending
how can i tell if i am not well
i've lost myself
i have come undone"
This entire album is one hell of an emotional trip.
That's me on the next WATE album too. Still waiting for that folk celtic rock comeback.
WATE im a huge fan ❤
Appreciate you guys! Thanks for supporting rock bands 🤘
@@WATEmusic Love you guys! Some of my favorites are Alone in the Snow, Kings and Clones, and Demon's Ride!
Very true ☺️
God... the atmosphere this song carries is so outstanding... these lyrics, the story of it, the symbol being an inverted (or anti-) star... and that ending... that gives me goosebumps. Great job!
You can literally read this song’s lyrics like a poem. Every song is a banger.
I know most people wont read this, and that is okay, I Just need to vent. I am so hyped for this album, you guys dropping this made my year and I am forever grateful. But this song, placed as the last song had spoken to me like no song ever has. I have never been able to eloquently describe my depression sickness to anyone in a way I didn't regret afterwards. But the vibe and lyrics of this song Just hits everything I want to say right. And I cant thank you enough for it, truly. If it helps, Dustin and the band, you made one guys life just that bit better with this song and album. Thank you.
😮
141+ people read it lol
some ppl will just never know what your going thorugh and im still trying to get my head over it. its just so hard. but this song is just amaxing
Keep on. No one actually cares so you owe it to yourself.
Same here, though I do not have depression.
I loved Starset for a long time, but this song speaks to me more than any other song of theirs, and maybe any other song period.
It captures the essence of that feeling I cannot put into words
What a cold cry mannn. This is unexpected of you Starset. The gutturals, screams, the whisper in the outro, such massive bridges. I am in love with this one. What a beauty in the pain over here.
Starset proves once again why they are the best band and just ahead of everyone else, way ahead.
I wouldn’t go that far but this was a very good album.
I've said it many times, but starset needs to make a full length movie
Way harder said than done hope they can find a good director for it
I agree
Yes.
Will probably never happen. But it could! It will tie to the novel as well.
No, a multiple series
This is the everglow of the album, only more brutal and cold.
It's also the Diving Bell and the Rise And Fall of this album
This one deserves millions upon millions of views. I am addicted to this one and Disappear in particular.
2:37-3:10 By far my favorite part of the song. The build is amazing, the lyrics progressively get deeper and deeper. I love it.
out of myself i feel it crawling
how can i tell if this is the ending
out of myself it began evolving
i am not well, repent i'm guilty
how can i tell if the sky is falling
how can i fix what there is no mending
how can i tell if i am not well
i've lost myself
i have come undone
That part of the song is magical. Seriously, it's the best thing Starset has ever made in my opinion.
Knowing Starsets songs are always full of references, the fact that the song ends with "something wicked this way comes" and thats the exact name of a ray bradbury´s novel still blows my mind.
Actually both are from Macbeth. After Macbeth kills the king he loved and served for his own ambitions lead on by the witches he seeks their counsel again. The witches are brewing spells, thos is where boil boil toil and trouble come from, and as they here a knock one says something wicked this way comes only for Macbeth to open the door and enter. This song is really just the plot for macbeth and I really really love that about it.
Not only that, but the nod to humpty dumpty lol
I'm glad someone else caught this as well
This song lulled me into a false sense of peace then ran me over like a fucking freight train 11/10
What you fear you have become...
*Something wicked this way comes*
This makes me think of a hero losing everything and then giving in and becoming the villain.
Sometimes villains make much more sense. Anti-heroes more like it, they’re the ones who really know what’s what.
Darth Vader vibes
@@Chuleta_9 for real. Like I relate the them more as I get older. It makes sense now lol
Did any other addict start crying listening to this? I looked up the lyrics and started crying while listening to this.
Although i cannot relate to your experience, among other issues, i have complex PTSD and persistent depression. I cried rivers.
I wish you all the best on your journey to recovery.
The fact that the songs 'logo' is the Starset logo upside down could be a representation of how everything that we used to know is about to be flipped on it's head in the next album. Or it's just a cool design.
F O R E S H A D O W I N G
Also, the fact that Something Wicked is the last song on this album, and it leaves off with "Something wicked this way comes..."
Regardless of if it has meaning or not, I think we can all agree the next album is about to SLAP.
Most suspenseful song they've ever written. The build up, the dissonance. It's remarkable
Something wicked this way comes...
Meanwhile 3 years later:
BREAK OUT THE GUILLOTINE!
This is not what I was expecting from this song, but it has surpassed my wildest expectations. I absolutely love the eerie, haunting vibe. Might be one of the best songs you guys have made. What a killer way to end an album full off masterpieces.
The best song of the album by far.
@@josephkreifelsii3734 "by" far

*_Most Underrated Song_*
I've listened to this song over and over again and it always sounds like a big cliffhanger. After hearing Starset and Breaking Benjamin are doing a collab it fits perfectly. I absolutely love it.
This track is the biggest curveball in the album. It's one long, beautiful build up to an explosive, but still soft ending. I couldn't imagine a more perfect finale to such a wonderful collection of music.
Man it has been so hard to choose what song is my favorite on the album and this one is one of those close songs! I just love this song so much! Can’t stop listening to the entire album! It’s been on repeat since Friday! 15 times so far! Just so good!!
Last line of this song, and the first line of The Breach, are Shakespeare references 🤯
The first line? From which play??
@@uzmamahfooz2305
Henry V: “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more”
Macbeth: “By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.”
@@DrJohnRLawson yeah, SOMETHING WICKED's references were obvious. This THE BREACH one I didn't know of.
This whole song is basically the plot of Macbeth is you listen. I don't know if it was intentional but it's absolutely amazing. "The crucifix in my hands is a lie", Macbeth can no longer pray because of his bloody hands, "Nothing ever kills you", Banqous ghost comes back to haunt him, "dark where the light was", Macbeth falling into madness and misery due to his actions that he can no longer take back. Are just some examples
@@ginymaynard oh wow, so much more to explore, thanks!
I wasn't in the mood for slow so I skipped it halfway through the first time. Now this is the 5th time in a row I started it over. Damn the man has a way with words and feeeeels update maybe 1000 times
This is one of the most complete and beautiful songs i've ever heard. It gives me emotional vibes and adrenaline. Starset, you surprise me more and more
“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.”
Please make a longer version of this :'(((( I want a 10 minute version. This is honestly the greatest thing I've heard this entire year
This song is the reason I love Starset so fucking much, legit made me sob.
Certainly didn't expect to cry by the album's end, and yet here I am.
So good that it left me wanting more at the end
The vibe kinda reminds me of "Singularity" by Red
But Similarity sounds like Everglow by Starset too
Just have to say that I admire you guys
this was a YEAR ago! WOW! I remember when this came out like it was yesterday.
Something weird about this song, it's calm yet scary and dark , I don't know how to describe the scary part but the ending may give you a sample of it
Nothing speaks to my current mental struggles so much other than this song
Makes me think of times I’ve struggled with addiction. Bad ass song. Nice end to a fantastic album. *side note- I’ve been clean for 9 years now. Recovery is possible. Not that this song has anything to do with addiction. Just my own interpretation of the song. And I wanted anyone to know, if you’re struggling, you don’t have to. We do recover. 😎❤️
Congrats on all your efforts. Nine years! That’s amazing 🙂
@@Chuleta_9 thank you!
ITS TOO GOOOOD NO ONE ELSE CAN DO THIS BUT STARSET
This is just like the best song evr
I'm so broken and this song speaks to me
Have to say I’m very happy with the entire new album. I do have a couple favorites though. This being one!
This is absolutely haunting, and I love it.
This is my favourite band and they make the best music ever in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like he's always singing about emotional experience of higher dimension that we can't reach now on our level
This song deserves to be longer ;-;
“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” They couldn’t have picked better quote! It really conveys the message of become your own worse enemy.
Been over a year since they dropped this masterpiece of music and still vibing to it.
This is just a masterpiece of a song. Easily #1 on the album for me.
I Know I'm not the first to say this, but HOLY COW! This song apart from everglow has to be the best closer to an album.
Man, this song is very similar to Dark on Me, and I love it!
Took some time to really think about this song’s lyrics. This song is terrifying…
what would you say they mean?
@@daizus6688 For me, fighting and losing to alcoholism over and over no matter how hard I try.
@@daizus6688 sry for the delay. Though this song can be applied to a multitude of scenarios the over arching theme is so on point its scary. that theme is thus: Imagine you spend your life fighting a worthy cause, lets say equal rights for all for example. You fight for this day in and day out for literally decades right? because its a cause you really believe in. One day you overstep and actually push your agenda by stepping on someone else's rights, and although you know this is wrong you cant help but notice how much success for your agenda this garnished. Before you know it you are stepping all over peoples rights in order to push your agenda, ironically of equal rights. You have become exactly what you feared all along. What hits hard in this song is I get a feeling of acceptance for stepping over this line. Or even an addiction to how much more effective you can be by stepping over the line and turning to a more dark and heavy handed approach, tainting the very cause you champion to get the effect you want. Of course I may be way over reaching but these are the feelings I take away from the song.
@@daizus6688 this song is the final song of this album, the 2nd of 2 concept albums with visuals. The story starts out with manifest people in a not so distant future but well before the song trials which said took place 2045. But the songs aren't in chronological order as it looks like diving bell is before manifest but if you're watching its showing you a society that at some point decides to take BMI (Brian Machine Interface(s)) which is implanted into ones head, elons Neuralink is a type of bmi this specifically was supposed to be a 3rd generation line of bmis. Doesn't show why they took them just they did and then some didn't want them so they had them seem like they had to find other ways to remove them. These bmis (the perfect machine) come with some hiccups like you can be jailed inside your head if you don't comply like "where the skies end" also you can be punished by laser gun in "manifest" but also you can be hacked & as the songs progress they find more problems with people who reject them who have them. You can be killed or "supplicated" inside a fake world like meta/fakebook or matrix. But on top of these issues watch closely in diving bell specifically thats not a ocean its blood. The blood has froth like blood does, in diving bell he sits down to use his bmi at some point he realizes somethings wrong as you see his reality shatter around him in the meta/matrix and real life it shows them both separately shatter if you look closely as that happens a hand reaches for his. Simultaneously you see his blood being cut with sand as something that was beginning to show itself emerges (the ghost in the machine) the spikes raise out of the blood as his d/n.a changes something is taking his inward self. So this songs sounds like it's going to answer what took his hand and who else. Note in manifest the 1st minute the people walking in circles over and over. But do you see how all the songs meanings go with the story?
This album is fire
Every song of this album is incredibly different, just legendary.
I didn't expect such a song to be my favorite of the whole album.
I was not expecting anymore screaming after Devolution, so when Dustin screamed in this song it scared me haha
Man, listening to the album with headphones up to max volume hits different than if they were on 50 like usual
This song has made me excited for the 5th album, and from what it seems like it may come out in late March- beginnging of April im so hyped
I desperately need a 1 hour ver of this song its the only song i can listen to rn 🖤
Holy moly this song is beautiful, im now obsessed
Devolution : its anarchy
Its de-evolution
Annihilated love : it was anarchy
With your weaponry you killed off all that was
Infected : go to the end man , dont quit on me
Get what you wanted ............. Anarchy
Prepare for the next ANARCHIES album
Divisions was all about rebels and revolution and Horizons is the counterpoint to that. They basically represent two different perspectives. The next album would probably give out who's right.
This music sounds like a tension scene in a space movie
This song is a MASTERPIECE. It's been years, but I still get chills each time I hear it like it's the first time. I think it's the best song they've made, at least so far. And it's so different from what they usually do, but it's still very Starset. It's perfect.
I need a hug
Reading the comments I see a lot of fellow Christians are upset about the pentagram. I in no way believe Starset is satanic or promoting satanic ideas. They are friends with Christian bands, most notably Red. The title of the track is “Something Wicked”, what symbol brings to mind wickedness more than a pentagram? It’s also their own logo upside down, maybe symbolizing their own struggles with inner “demons” (literal or metaphorical ie addiction, depression).
Personally, this song speaks to me of worldly temptations/sins and the devil literally tempting one to sin. Like the line;
“You'll whisper, serpent tongue
What you fear you have become”
I’m sure non-Christians have their own take on it all and good music should speak to everyone that listens.
As a Christian, this song seems to have a foreboding tone, as if the Antichrist or some other evil is emerging. Possibly from within.
The fear to fall in the darkness and become a MONSTER. This is the UNBECOMING, SOMETHING WICKED...💀
"How can I tell if I am not well" might be my favorite lyric on this whole album
I know about this amazing group about 6 or 7 months ago and i love it is a perfect sinfony with astrology and songs that play and resonate in your soul I do not regret having met this group and this song made me remember the first song I heard of this amazing group thanks for change my routine and my musical perception ( If my English is not fully understood, I apologize, I speak Spanish and I do what I can)
Something wicked (this way comes)
Im obsessed with this song
This is the 'dark on me' equivalent from transmissions. I was sad because vessels and divisions don't have a song like that.
Something wicked this way comes!!!!
Wow, this is completely different from anything they have done, I love it.
ultrakill players fear this song
i need the new album now guys 😭😭😭
Is this my new favorite SONG?
It's starset...I don't know.
I was listening to this with my mom and she was like "Is he singing about humpty dumpty because he says all of the horses and all of the men wont put it back in place"
yeah this has a lot of references
@@dexter2392 yep
my favorite from this album
I WANT A LONGER VERSION OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!
something wicked this way comes...
one of the greatest starset songs of all time
Its been 4 days since the slaughter in israel, which I survived, can't say it abught everyone I love, this is the first song I was able to listen to and i just can't stop crying.
I hope you and your family are safe. My heart goes out to you. I have a friend who lives there, was born there. She gives us updates almost everyday on her situation.
thats so insane ♥
Wow... Another great listen. I need a drink. Make that two.
Best album of the year in its genre
