Starlight
Muse · HAARP [2008]
Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations

Hold you in my arms

Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms

Starlight - Muse
Released on the 2008 album HAARP, 'Starlight' is a quintessential example of Muse's progressive rock and electronic fusion. The track features the band's signature dynamic interplay between atmospheric synth textures and driving guitar riffs, characteristic of their mid-2000s era. As a staple of their discography, the song exemplifies the band's ability to blend cinematic soundscapes with anthemic choruses, creating a recording that has become a defining moment in their catalogue. It stands alongside other key tracks from the period, such as 'Knights of Cydonia' and 'Stockholm Syndrome', showcasing the group's evolution into a more complex, genre-defying style that influenced a generation of alternative rock acts.
