Constellation
Molto Bene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When's the last time I seen the stars in your eyes?
You take off like a rocket, and you're gone
You're a cloud covered canvas
Use your brush to erase the stars from the skies
You make sure that you burn me, and you're gone
The words take flight like a satelite orbiting
And falls to flame
You can't have love if you can't have a conversation
You're a cold constellation
It's the north star that led my vessel astray
It's a cool, covered confidence, and it's gone
I'm a dime-bag disaster
Pass me off, put me out and tuck me away
Put me back in your pocket, and I'm gone
I call your name
The words take flight like a satelite orbiting
And falls to flame
You can't have love if you can't have a conversation
You're my Aries
You're my gold fleece
Set your armor against the storm
Since the tides have turned
I call your name
The words take flight like a satelite orbiting
And falls to flame
You can't have love if you can't have a conversation
The lyrics of Molto Bene's song "Constellation" describe a turbulent, passionate relationship that is volatile and unstable. The comparison of the lover to a comet and a rocket suggest a sense of excitement and momentum, but also a lack of permanence and a tendency to disappear. The singer feels forgotten and neglected, like stars in the sky that have been erased by a cloud-covered canvas. The lover is described as someone who burns others and then moves on quickly.
The singer longs for connection and communication, but finds it difficult with a partner who cannot have a "conversation" - someone who is emotionally distant and not interested in intimacy. The metaphor of the "cold constellation" highlights the singer's feeling of being lost and misled by a lover who is unpredictable and unreliable. The reference to Aries and the gold fleece suggests the idea of a quest - a journey with a specific goal in mind. However, the singer seems to have lost direction and is struggling to find a way back to a place of stability and safety.
