Constellations Songtext

von Enter Shikari

Packing the last few shirts into a bloated suitcase
Last glimpse of comfort and the ticking clockface
I swear those hands move faster everyday
I'm more confused than ever but I don't beg or prey
'Cos the sparkling light from the morning sun
Is all we should need to feel one

I reach the station with just minutes to spare
Glance at my watch, times going faster these days I swear
Eyes focus up now to the train time table board
There's only two platforms to be explored
And it's then that I admit it to myself
That I am lost, so lost
But you're the constellations that guide me

There's a train at 12; destination disaster
It's running on time as time runs faster
On platform two its destination sustainability
It's delayed though, it was supposed to arrive at 11:50
Platform one it says stand behind the yellow line
But I sit on the platform edge and just gaze at the time

My mind wanders back to our oblivious existence
I'm all choked up now with the threat of distance
As the train bound for disaster chokes up to the station
I don't board it cos I decide that it's the wrong destination
But the train bound for sustainability is nowhere to be seen
And I am lost so lost,
Where are the constellations that guide me?

And then I realise that
We need to use our own two feet
To walk these tracks
And we have to squad up
And we have to watch each other's backs
With forgiveness as our torch
And imagination our sword
We'll untie the ropes of hate and slash open
The minds of the board
And we'll start a world so equal and free
Every inch of this Earth is yours
All the land and all the sea
Imagine no restrictions
But the climate and the weather
Then we can explore space, together, forever...

And I am lost so lost,
Where are the constellations?

And I am lost so lost,
You are the constellations
Lost so lost,
You are the constellations
And I am lost so lost,
You are the constellations
And I am lost so lost,
You are the constellations
