Enter Shikari – Constellations lyrics

I always imagined it like this.
The battle and fight for peace, equality, unity etc. Is over. It's finally finished and yeah.
The first verse:.
"packing the last few shirts... To feel one"
The protagonist is finished fighting and cleaning up, he/she ia a little apprehensive but has no worries and is looking hopeful.
"i'm more confused than ever but i don't beg or pray cause the, sparkling light from the morning sun is all we should need to feel one. "
"i reach the station... To myself"
The protagonist has reached the place where all of humanity is gathering(the station) and sees that there are two choices that can be made as to what happens next and how they will all decide to move forward.
The chorus:.
That I am lost so lost.
But your the constellations.
That guide me.
Here I think the protagonist is speaking to the listener saying that he does not know what to do but you are the future. You have the power, we the people have the power to guide humanity in a new direction. Therefore we are the constellations.
"there's a train at 12, destination disaster... Gaze at the time"
Humanity is looking at their choices, they can either use the same system they did before or they can try something new. They are waiting for someone to lead them to sustainability but nothing comes up, no one know what to do.
"my mind wanders back... Nowhere to be seen"
The first choice, the decision, the system that failed and produces the same problems from before. This choice will lead to the same problems we had and history will repeat itself. Humanity is almost fooled into making this choice again(boarding the train) but they do not because they know it will just restart the fight again.
The protagonist sits there and thinks about everything humanity has been through to get to this point and how we started out naive and violent but now have accomplished so much and are ready to make the big decision. Humanity is still looking for the train, someone to lead them and show them the way but nothing at all.
Where are the constellations? Which is the right way?
"and then i realize... Forever"
The protagonist realizes that the train isn't coming at all. No one will show them the way, they have to do it themselves. No one will lead them they have to lead each other hand in hand. They all have to care for each other, using forgiveness for all the hurt and hate that will light the way to a better world, and imagination to come up with sustainability, they'll rid the world of hate and bring new ideas. The world they started will be so equal and free, so perfect, the fabled utopia, an actual heaven, now that humanity has stopped fighting each other, everyone, black, white, christian, atheist, are all working, hand in hand, to make a new step for humanity. Exploring the vast abyss of space and having an adventure together.
Throughout the outro, the protagonist says he is lost and a bit scared but we, humanity, are guiding him to greatness.
I love this song, it is so precious to me. It really helped me learn to forgive and forget and to stop frittering life away and enjoy it. I love playing this song under the stars on a clear night. Enter shikari did an amazing job. I made an acoustic version with a friend of mine but we both dare not upload it nor would we ever play it live in our band. It is that sacred to us. I can't wait to see what enter shikari has in store next. Looking forward to it :).

The hint to the song's meaning is in there. It's about sustainability. This final track from the album is Rou wrapping up everything he's said throughout the album, and openly saying that he hopes for a sustainable future, though it may be too late for him, 'I'm lost so lost, but you're the constellations'. The constellations are the future generations who will do better than current generations. References to time in the song are based on the Doomsday Clock (see Wiki). 'We need to use our own two feet to walk these tracks' is referring to the fact that despite being promised sustainability, government haven't followed through and the only way to achieve it is to make it happen ourselves. Spend some time reading up on sustainability and the Doomsday clock and you'll appreciate this song like never before.

What a wonderful song to hear a brilliant band like this create which create a wonderful song. Sorry your not a winner. Well this has topped it as I find myself listening over n over again as it seems to just have such a deep meaning as only disaster awaits for us but if ur patient then u'll see that the good things may arrive in life and we need to learn to live with each-other and not be so separate but more equal and think of ourselves as just one and nothing different and to care more then we used to and to make our own paths not the ones that were made already for us and to prove we all share everything and ownership paper is just a title we all owned it to begin with.

Such a smashing ending to the album, well done lads! I find this final song a good last few words from rou. You could probably say that this song is about having no restrictions to humanity's lives and having the freedom to travel our own unique and individual paths instead of walking along those which were laid out for us, be it disaster or sustainability. We are the constellations that should guide one another towards a better future, and the day when we stand up and squad up will be the day when the boundaries that we've been held back by will fall down so that we can all explore all the way to space and back again.

I see two side, one defiance of conformaty and normality that leads to recklessness, yet there is the heavensent other side which we want to ride which is waiting and waiting, not taking charge but instead being placed and taken to safety. Then in the breakdown it describes that no route given to us by others is acceptable you want get where you want unless you move, you choose and you do!
