Constellation
Darwin Deez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Darwin Deez's song "Constellations" explores the thought-provoking theme of patterns and meanings that humans ascribe to things, including stars and constellations. The song begins with an allusion to the popular nursery rhyme "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and the singer wonders about the nature and purpose of stars. He ponders if the patterns and constellations that we see in the sky at night are only in our eyes or if they hold some objective meaning beyond what we perceive. The refrain poses the question whether a constellation is just a constellation, or if it is merely a consolation or comfort for us as humans.
The second verse widens the scope of the song's theme to encompass the human quest for meaning and identity. The singer references the freckles on his arm and wonders if anything really means anything. The song seems to suggest that people find ways to create meaning out of apparent randomness, hoping to find patterns, constellations, and connections in their lives. The song's conclusion is somewhat ambivalent, noting that while people may seek to connect and find meaning, they are ultimately just twinkling stars, points of light that may seem connected but are essentially ephemeral.
