Ok, so we’re trying to get all the lyrics from the album A Strange Constellation up here, but not all are too easily interpreted… Please, if anybody have corrections to these lyrics, or know lyrics to other Heroes & Zeros songs, please post them in the comment field!
Thanks to paskehare for contributions!
Into the Light
I wanna be with you
despite the stupid things that I’ve said
it was just that my cool got scared
Hey, you’ve got eyes like burns of prey
that made me shy away
oh, you’re gonna tear my heart out
Hey, I wanna be with you
despite the stupid things that you do
I love the madness in you
Hey, this insane flesh has failed,
let’s burst this ribcage jail
oh, and then we’ll be together
/: Let’s carry on into the light
for all we know :/
I wanna be with you
despite the stupid things that I’ve said
it was just that my cool got scared
Hey, this insane flesh has failed,
let’s burst this ribcage jail
oh, and then we’ll be together
/: Let’s carry on into the light
for all we know :/
peace will find us there.
A Strange Constellation
Coming down on an airplane
the only sound is drawn
everything’s connected, nothing adds up
I’m capsized, I’m all adrift
We’re a strange constellation
(everywhere we go)
Our planets don’t align
(no matter where we go)
Now I’ve cursed my birthday
(everywhere we go)
I won’t be getting any sleep tonight
When I’m numb, when I’m lost
oh, I hold out
follow me, let’s go astray
oh, or burn out
And you know I’d run to you
everywhere you go
just say you orbit in the back of my mind
everywhere I go
so just reconnect the dots,
just reconnect the dots anyway we want
but besides, I’d rather believe in your eyes
than the starry skies
Heavens, at night time you’re right beside me
oh, I hold out
don’t put your trust in the stellar rays,
oh, or burn out
follow me, let’s go astray,
oh, or burn out
every little thing that you want from me,
I’ll give you tenderly
/: Heavens, at night time you’re right beside me
oh, I hold out
every little thing that you want from me,
I’ll give you tenderly :/
Tenderly.
We’re a strange constellation.
Oslo Fade-Out
Oh what a face, too many nights
too many loose ends, you’re tearing up
you had your friends last night
but they’re all scurry
You didn’t wanna feel alright
too many weekends, you’re burning up
you told a lie last night
but who’s to worry?
So what a feel, or I don’t know
just like rash hands, jacking off
a callous ecstacy, Oslo fade-out
Oh, you’re going down, falling now under pressure
oh, you’re passed out, falling out of sleep last night
oh, you’re not that fun, take a long hard look at yourself
now this is it, you’re spent like change
Too many eyes, too many lights
too many loose ends, you’re tearing up
you hurt yourself last night,
falling in love in a hurry
Oh what a wonderful waste of time
too many weekends, are burning up
a callous ecstasy, Oslo fade-out
/: Oh, you’re going down, falling now under pressure
oh, you’re passed out, falling out of sleep last night
oh, you’re not that fun, take a long hard look at yourself
now this is it, you’re spent like change :/
The Foolproof
You can always cut and run
come down with a safety pin
when you need the skin, versus world to blur for a while
you can’t always cut and run
I call you up for the seventh time
picture you crawling on the bathroom floor
somebody answers the phone
you cannot come
she won’t be fixed by a helpless one
it’s assurations without a wound
And I’ve been loosing out
when I’ve said I’ve had enough
oh nothing is foolproof,
I can prove I’m a fool
I lost my connection to you
You can’t always cut and run
or pretend excitement for cataleptic minds
‘cos it’s modern times,
modern times,
you can fake it all the time
oh, so shut up and dance into a velvety trance
isn’t it peachy, repeating a chant
And I’ve been loosing out
when I’ve said I’ve had enough
oh nothing is foolproof,
I can prove I’m a fool
I lost my connection to you
I hide behind trenches back home
or I’m climbing telephone poles
I’m talking sensibly
or I’m silent - a storm
/: You figured me out, I’m just like you
I’ll do it better now, I’m easily bruised :/
Do This Right
For a time, her absence filled the world
and I fooled myself into denying it
‘cos I knew that I would meet you once or twice
and I knew that we were increments from something right
For a time, I remembered you in reverse
erasing moments, washed in the wild of day
I was on the floor, I was in your face
in that crowded space, you were crying out,
“hey, soon there’s no more soon”
Oh, you know me,
you know me so well,
when you hold me, you hold that spell
suspended eyes suspending me
Oh, my eyes, you’re walking off screen
oh, your face, your face is unreal,
suspended eyes suspending me
It’s in your mind
you said you’re fine
you could open your eyes
you can open your eyes
you better wake up now
see the bright morning light
don’t revert your eyes
‘cos it might save your life
from some horrible past
do a caution tonight
the wind will rise
and we can only close the shutters
Oh, you know me,
you know me so well,
when you hold me, you hold that spell
suspended eyes suspending me
Oh, my eyes, you’re walking off screen
oh, your face, your face is unreal
suspended eyes suspending me
Oh, my body breaks in the wind
oh, my body aches in sea
but I will do this right
but I can do this right
You will weigh me down with your plans
you will hold me down with your hands
but I will do this right
but I can do this right
(oh my body breaks in the wind
oh my body aches in the sea
you will weigh me down with your plans
you will hold me down with your hands
but I can do this right)
