Song Theme: “Starlight” is a powerful track from Muse’s 2006 album Black Holes and Revelations. The song’s lyrics deal with feelings of separation, loss, and the intense desire to be reunited with a loved one (“Hold you in my arms, I just wanted to hold you in my arms”). It is characterized by its powerful bass riff and sweeping, anthemic chorus.
Video Plot: The official music video visually interprets the themes of isolation and longing. It shows the band members as crew members on a large cargo ship, initially performing their duties. As the video progresses, they find themselves lost at sea, looking out across the ocean, presumably searching for a distant light or rescue. They eventually abandon the ship in an inflatable raft, highlighting the theme of being alone and adrift.
