We're Here To Save The Day
The Constellations Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're the stars that shine so bright
We bling in cars, and rhyme so hard
The superstars
We're not afraid to say, we're here to save the day
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

We'll take no prisoners; this is a war of the mind
And we're coming for your sons and daughters
It's our time to shine
Take your radio and throw it down, shattered on the floor
There's nothing else I need to hear and I just can't ignore
Your candy coated, bloated ego, platinum pile of shit
With nothing in your arsenal, pulled punches count as hits
But I've been waiting so long for a song with just one change
You're versus strike a sounding chorus, you are all the same

We're the stars that shine so bright
We bling in cars, and rhyme so hard
The superstars
We're not afraid to say, we're here to save the day
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

The diamonds on your necklace are an elaborate choke chain
You're a dog tied to a leash; you're a slave to your wage
You sold your soul for something you never will obtain
Every syllable you speak is weak, you have nothing to say
So save the folks some time and money, stick to what you know
Stroke your ego on your own, and let me clear my throat
The sky is full of shining stars along the Milky Way
A living, breathing constellation here to save the day

We're the stars that shine so bright
We bling in cars, and rhyme so hard
The superstars
We're not afraid to say, we're here to save the day
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Put it, put it, put it, put it on the shelf, don't touch that
Like a high soul but you know its just Ash
Go with the flow you know I bust raps
No, not a bullet, this is more a musket
American Revolution with the music and
What we do here isn't so a movement
The earth is moving and we're consumers
So what we do is, we consume earth
Gimme, gimme, gimme cause their so absorbed
Till our world just passes by
(Bye, bye)
The constellations that ya'll ignored have the whole time been sittin' in the sky
(Wait, where?)
By the time we align and combine ourselves to form guides and try to help
(Save me!)
And it is I who will tighten up Orion's Belt
So ya'll can decide yourself
(That's Roth ya'll)

We're the stars that shine so bright
We bling in cars, and rhyme so hard
The superstars




We're not afraid to say, we're here to save the day
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Overall Meaning

The song "We're Here To Save The Day" by The Constellations is an empowering anthem that celebrates the power of the stars to inspire and to guide humans to a better way of life. From the very first lines, the song asserts the stars' superiority over humans, boasting of their bling and hard rhymes unlike anything that we ordinary mortals could hope to achieve. The song then goes on to criticize the music industry and the shallow, ego-driven culture that it promotes. The lyrics suggest that the stars are here to set things right, to help us see through the meaningless buzzwords and pretentious posturing that passes for music and art these days.


The chorus is itself a call to arms, an assertion of the stars' power and ability to make a difference in the world. By proclaiming themselves as "the superstars" who are "here to save the day," the stars are telling us that they are not just passive observers of our lives, but active agents who can actually help us make things better. The stars are here to bring light to the darkness, and to help us see the way forward in a world that often seems lost and confused.


In the final verses of the song, The Constellations expand on this theme, suggesting that the stars are not just passive observers, but actual guides who can help us find our way in a chaotic world. By aligning themselves and coming together, the stars can create a constellation that will act as a beacon, guiding us to a better way of life. The song concludes with a triumphant assertion of the stars' power, declaring that they are "not afraid to say" that they are here to save the day.
