Constellation
DEEZ Darwin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are
There's a million little lights when the sky turns black tonight
Are there patterns in our skies, are patterns only in our eyes?

Or is a constellation, just a constellation?
Is a constellation just a consolation?

Wrinkle, wrinkle little scar, count the freckles on my arm
If freckles don't mean anything, does anything mean anything?

Or is a constellation, just a constellation?
Is a constellation just a consolation?

We are twinkling stars resurrected
Just like twinkling stars we seem connected but I know that





A constellation is just a constellation
Constellation is just a consolation

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Constellation" by DEEZ Darwin seem to be exploring the idea of meaning, patterns, and connections in the universe. The first verse references the classic nursery rhyme "Twinkle, twinkle little star" to contrast the beauty and wonder of the stars with the uncertainty of what they actually represent. The singer questions whether the patterns we see in the stars are real or just illusions created by our own perception. The repetition of the line "Is a constellation just a constellation?" highlights this uncertainty and raises the question of whether there is any inherent meaning in the universe or if it is all just what we make of it.


The second verse takes a more personal turn, with the singer examining the idea of meaning on an individual level. They urge the listener to "count the freckles on my arm" as a way of questioning whether anything really means anything at all. This verse seems to suggest that the meaning we find in the world may be entirely subjective and dependent on our own perceptions and experiences.


The final lines of the song tie these ideas together, suggesting that while we may feel connected to each other and the world around us like stars in a constellation, ultimately those connections may be transient and illusory. The line "Constellation is just a consolation" seems to imply that the beauty and order we see in the universe may be a comforting delusion that we create to give ourselves a sense of meaning and purpose.


Overall, "Constellation" is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of meaning and our human desire to find patterns and connections in the world around us.
