The Constant
I Blame Coco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To take, the form of something else
A ghost, a thought
A bad school report
A shadow of remorse
An invisible force that is constantly forcing
This is the constant, the constant is calling
The phantom hearts feel too
You said you never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see
You said I never have a hold on you
The phantom hearts feel too
You said you never have a hold
A love, a love without compare
Enough to love something not there
One embrace I take
Two hearts, one face
We kiss, we fall
With constant silence, two phantoms were born
You said I never have a hold on you
The phantom hearts feel too
You said you never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see
You said I never have a hold on you
The phantom hearts feel too
You said you never have a hold
Caught like two rabbits in the snare
Sheets are covered, skin is bare
I was broken, you repaired my soul
Smoke fills the air
Are we there, are we there
Are we there
You said I never have a hold on you
The phantom hearts feel too
You said you never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see
You said I never have a hold on you
The phantom hearts feel too
You said you never have a hold
This is the constant
The constant is calling
Become this monster who's constantly falling
What is this constant my heart is installing
Outside I'm content, but inside I'm balling
This is the constant
The constant is calling
Become this monster who's constantly falling
What is this constant my heart is installing
Outside I'm content, but inside I'm balling
The lyrics of 'The Constant' by I Blame Coco are a reflection of the constant struggle within oneself to escape from past mistakes and move on. The singer talks about how they hide and take the form of something else, like a ghost or a shadow of remorse, trying to escape their own thoughts. The singer is caught between two phantoms, two hearts that take one form, and they are unable to let go. The constant silence and the never-ending struggle to hold onto something that is not there take a toll on the singer, who becomes a monster who is constantly falling.
The lyrics suggest a feeling of insecurity and longing for something that is not there. The singer talks about how they are unable to have a hold on the phantom heart that they feel, and they never have a hold on the other person's heart either. The singer seeks comfort in a love that is beyond comparison, but even that seems to be elusive.
The constant is a theme that recurs throughout the song, and it represents the internal struggle that the singer is experiencing. The singer is constantly falling, unable to escape from their own thoughts and insecurities. The constant is calling, and the singer is becoming the monster that they fear the most. The song is a reflection of the human condition, and how we are constantly struggling to find our place in the world.
Line by Line Meaning
Escaped, I hide by myself
I isolate myself from everything and everyone
To take, the form of something else
I pretend to be someone else to hide my true self
A ghost, a thought
I feel like a non-existent idea
A bad school report
I feel like a failure in life
A shadow of remorse
I am surrounded by guilt and regret
An invisible force that is constantly forcing
I feel like there is an unseen pressure always pushing me
This is the constant, the constant is calling
These feelings are constant and I can't escape them
You said I never have a hold on you
You made me believe that you are unattainable
The phantom hearts feel too
But my heart still longs for you
A love, a love without compare
My love for you is incomparable
Enough to love something not there
I love you even when you are not around
One embrace I take
Even one hug from you is enough for me
Two hearts, one face
We are two individuals but share one heart
We kiss, we fall
Our love is intense and consuming
With constant silence, two phantoms were born
Our love remains unseen and unacknowledged by others
Caught like two rabbits in the snare
We are trapped in our love for each other
Sheets are covered, skin is bare
We are intimate and vulnerable with each other
I was broken, you repaired my soul
You healed me and made me complete
Smoke fills the air
Our love is passionate and intense
Are we there, are we there
We question if our relationship is where it should be
This is the constant
These struggles and emotions remain unchanged
Become this monster who's constantly falling
I feel like a monster always spiraling down
What is this constant my heart is installing
I question what this constant pain in my heart is
Outside I'm content, but inside I'm balling
I pretend to be happy, but inside I'm a mess

"The Constant"
Escaped, I hide by myself
To take, to form something else
The ghost, a force
A bad school report, a shadow of remorse
An invisible force that is constantly forcing
This is the constant, the constant is calling
You said I'd never had a hold on you
The phantom I spiel to
You said you'd never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see
Our love, a love without compare
It's just enough to love something I dare
One breath, I take
Two hearts, one face
We kiss, we fall
The constant silence
Some phantoms are born
You said I'd never had a hold on you
The phantom I spiel to
You said you'd never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see
You said I'd never had a hold on you
The phantom I spiel to
You said I'd never had a hold
Caught like two rabbits in a snare
She took cover in his bed
I was broken you repaired my soul
Smoke fills the air
Are we there [x6]
You said you'd never have a hold on me
The phantom I spiel to
You said you'd never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see
You said I'd never have a hold on you
The phantom I spiel to
You said I'd never have a hold
This is the constant,
The constant is calling
Become this monster
whose constantly falling
What is this curse
That my heart is installing
Outside I'm content
Yet inside I'm bawling
[x2]
