Enter Shikari - Constellations

This song is stunning, and true, makes you feel like a true hero when you think about it the way they portray it.

“Packing the last few shirts into a bloated suitcase 
The last glimpse of comfort and the ticking clock face 
I swear those hands move faster every day 
I’m more confused than ever but I don’t beg or pray ‘cause the 
Sparkling light from the morning sun 
Is all we should need to feel one. 

I reach the station with just minutes to spare, 
I glance at my watch time’s 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 my self, 

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 it’s destination sustainability 
It’s delayed though it was suppose 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 cause I decide that it’s the wrong destination, 
But the train bound for sustainability is nowhere to be seen 

And I’m lost so lost 
Where are the constellations 
That guide me? 

And then I realize 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 others backs, 
When forgiveness is our torch and imagination our sword 
Well I’ll tie the ropes of hate and slash open the minds of the bored 
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’m lost so lost 
Where are the constellations 

And I’m lost so lost 
You are the constellation”
