Constellations
Put it to rest
Terror again
Horror in town
No sleep ′til then
Turn down the lights
Don't fuck around
No ins and outs
The lyrics of Duster's song "Constellations" present a cryptic and introspective portrayal of the impact of trauma and the struggle to come to terms with it. The opening lines "Reoccurring Constellations" signify the repetition and persistence of traumatic memories that keep resurfacing. The phrase "Put it to rest" may be interpreted as a desire to finally resolve and move on from the trauma. The following line "Terror again, Horror in town" indicates how the memories of the trauma induce fear and haunting sensations that are inescapable. The lyricist seems to be struggling with insomnia, as indicated by "No sleep ′til then." They may be acknowledging the burden of trauma that keeps them from being able to rest and function normally.
The lyrics then proceed to exhort the listener to turn down the lights and not to mess around, reinforcing the idea that the trauma they're dealing with is serious and can't be brushed aside. The line "No ins and outs" could mean that the writer wants to completely face and tackle their trauma, not allowing any distractions or excuses to get in the way.
Overall, "Constellations" is a deeply emotional and internal song that sheds light on what it feels like to be dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic event. The lyrics touch on themes of persistence, fear, and a desire for resolution, inviting the listener to empathize with those struggling with the impact of trauma.

I find so many kindred souls in the comments of this video, and I can tell you, I’ve been there
Even to this day, I’ve lived long enough to write this comment not because I find value in my own life, but because there are things I must do and people who care about me
I do not, and have never lived for myself, which is a deeply unhealthy sentiment but one I cannot shake off
But nonetheless, I’ve been worse, really right now I’m doing quite well.
To anyone out there, take these words before you scroll away: Life might not get magically better, but with time you can give it meaning and substance that will keep you going even through hardship
And perhaps, even reason to care about yourself.
Because there are good people out there, communities like this full of people who know what this hell feels like, and those who’ve crawled out and escaped from it too
And there are things, activities which can give you meaning too. Pick up a hobby, go to the gym, find something that fills you with, if not joy, something better than abject sadness
Or maybe just read Berserk

Life is funny I’ll tell ya. Never experienced this before, yet it feels so familiar.
I thought it’d be you and I till the end, turns out it was just a trend.
Looking back at it was I just wasting time? Two different states but share the same state of mind.
Now she no longer mines, short fuses matching temper of midgets, we blowing up like mines.
I miss you, but more importantly I miss myself. Till the one you want no longer want you, you ain’t been through hell.
We was studying tryna get into Yale, now she moving Ivy League and all we ever do is yell.
Anyways I miss you, but you’ll never know that. Coz like a car with no reverse we can never go back. -Me
