Konstantine Lyrics
I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go When the lights are turned down low And I don't understand all the things you've seen But I'm slipping in between You and your big dreams It's always you In my big dreams And you tell me that it's over Wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clover And you're restless, and I'm naked You've got to get out You can't stand to see me shaking, no Could you let me go? I didn't think so And you don't want to be here in the future So you say the present's just a pleasant Interruption to the past And you don't want to look much closer Because you're afraid to find out all this hope You had sent into the sky by now had crashed And it did Because of me And then you bring me home Afraid to find out that you're alone And I'm sleeping in your living room But we don't have much room to live I had these dreams in them I learned to play guitar Maybe cross the country Become a rock star And there was hope in me that I could take you there But damnit, you're so young Well, I don't think I care And if I hurt you Then I'm sorry Please don't think that this was easy Then you'd bring me home Because we both know what it's like to be alone And I'm dreaming in your living room But we don't have much room to live And Konstantine is walking down the stairs Doesn't she look good Standing in her underwear? And I was thinking What I was thinking We've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere My Konstantine came walking down the stairs And all that I could do is touch her long blonde hair And I've been thinking It hurts me thinking that these nights when we were drinking No, they never got us anywhere, no This is because I can spell confusion with a 'k' And I can like it It's to dying in another's arms and why I had to try it It's to Jimmy Eat World and those nights in my car When the first star you see may not be a star I'm not your star Isn't that what you said What you thought this song meant And if this is what it takes Just to lie with my mistakes And live with what I did to you All the hell I put you through I always catch the clock It's 11:11 And now you want to talk It's not hard to dream You'll always be my Konstantine My Konstantine, they'll never hurt you like I do No, they'll never hurt you like I do No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no This is to a girl who got into my head With all the pretty things she did Hey, you know You keep me up in bed This is to a girl who got into my head With all these fucked up things I did Hey, maybe, baby You could keep me up in bed My Konstantine You spin around me like a dream We played out on this movie screen And I said Did you know I missed you? Did you know I missed you? Did you know I missed you? Did you know I missed you? Did you know I missed you? Did you know I missed you? Did you know I missed you? I miss you And then you bring me home And we'll go to sleep, but this time not alone, no, no And you'll kiss me in your living room I know You'll miss me in your living room Because these nights I think maybe that I'll miss you in my living room We don't have much room I said does anybody need that room? Because we all need a little more room To live My Konstantine

"I can't imagine all the people that you know...."
He's thinking about what she's doing without him and who she knows and where she goes. It's like he's jealous and hoping she's not seeing other guys. He feels like he is getting in the way of all she wants to do in life.
"And you tell me that it's over
Wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clover"
This is about them breaking up and then getting back together, he feels it's down to luck.
"And you don't want to be here in the future
So you say the present's just a pleasant
Interruption to the past..."
She is less committed than he is, she doesn't want this to be her entire life. He feels guilty that her dreams came crashing down, thinks it's because of him tying her down.
"I had these dreams in them I learned to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rock star"
He had plans for the future which involved her, he wanted to stay together and accomplish their dreams together.
"And I was thinking
What I was thinking
We've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere"
They still get close when they drink. This bit sounds like he's about to suggest getting back together but cuts off and realises they're both drunk and it doesn't mean anything.
"This is because I can spell confusion with a 'k'
And I can like it" - She confuses him but he likes it because it's her.
"It's to dying in another's arms and why I had to try it
It's to Jimmy Eat World and those nights in my car" - Reminiscing about the past and all the memories he has of them.
"I always catch the clock
It's 11:11"
11:11 is meant to be the time to make a wish, so he's wishing she'll take him back.
"My Konstantine, they'll never hurt you like I do"
He hurts her but he is still the only one for her, nobody else will feel the same as he does for her.
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
I miss you
(That's the part that I usually start crying at :P)
"I said does anybody need that room?
Because we all need a little more room
To live"
They broke up because they were tying each other down and neither of them had freedom to live, but now he realises that nobody is ever free whether or not they are in a relationship, and they will both sacrifice this freedom they think they have so that they can be together again.
I think that's all I got from it. It's a very complex song and I guess different people interper it depending on their own experiences and what it reminds them of.

It's perfect. Absolutely, and completely.
I don't think I need to go into detail on what it's about. His love for a girl that doesn't last because of mistakes he makes. But he loved her, loves her. Like everything in live and love, its complicated.
Amazing.

If I could get one thing before I die, I would want to have a guy I'm in love with sing this to me. I think Andrew is a lyrical genius. <3 There's no doubt about that. I cried listening to this song, even before I knew the true meaning behind the lyrics :D Even though this song is sad, it is still beautiful at the same time.
He puts so much emotion into the song. When he says he awakes in patch of four leaf clovers, I agree with the person that mentioned him not actually waking up in a field - but really waking up in some clover boxers. The rest of this song is about how he cheats on his girlfriend Krystal & she takes him back, but she keeps throwing it back in his face - it gets to the point where he knows it will never be the same between him and his Konstantine.
Also I've read a lot of peoples thoughts about how he says Those nights drinking didn't get us anywhere - & it occurred to me that maybe he just wanted sex from her ? I'm not sure during the whole song he sounds so confused between loving crystal - & not quite sure of how he should feel after cheating on her.
Imagine how heartbreaking it would be if you were Krystal the girl this song it about? Or Kelly, Andrew's wife. Knowing that he wrote this epic song about his first love, that nothing will ever top.

However, once she leaves, she realises that despite his flaws, she cannot live without him and brings him back to her studio apartment. He is delighted with this, but she doesn't want to get physical too fast, ''we've been drinking and it hasn't got me anywhere''. He pictures her standing in her underwear, and look back on the whole relationship- the good ppoints and the bad points and sees how badly he has treated her. ''they'll never hurt you like i do'' ''all these fucked up things i did''.
After this, he realises that he doesn't just like her, he is in LOVE with her. And their relationsip restarts with both of them living in her tiny apartment.

So the song is obviously about his true loved whom he cheated on (probably drunkenly), and how she was willing to get back together with him, but it was never the same for her. But she is his "constant" (Konstantine) because she always comes back to him, and in his head is always her ... though he knows it will never be the way it was before he cheated. She is now back and forth with him, but everytime thinks he is back with her for good she starts stuff with him about the infidelity .. "im not your star", or making him sleep on the couch ... but of course she always comes back downstairs to have sex with him, but the next day he'll wake up after an amazing night only to find that she still can't forget him cheating ... it will constantly be a vicious cycle, but he loves her so much that if that is how he can be with her, then he will take what he can get.
~~ Pothead's analysis of Konstantine

this song reminds me of my first love.
I will forever relate this song to him, and it tears me apart everytime I hear it.
After all, you never..EVER forget your first love.
I love SoCo and the fans, we have this connection to every single one of their songs, therefore we share this connection to each other.
I love SoCo, and I hope each of you find deep and true meaning within this song even if it brings you to tears and it did me and MANY MANY others. Truly amazing, the power of SoCo. I just hope this song lives through us, forever, and...ever...through our children and grandchildren. And yes, I'm serious. This song is super powerful, and we must keep it alive!!

but I find it ironic how many ties it has to the city of Constantinople named after Constantine. Constantinople was the Christian capitol after Rome stopped prosecuting Christian according to law,and Constatine declared it so but there were many anti-Christ groups. 11:11 was a common meeting times for such groups (I always catch the clock | It's 11:11 | And now you want to talk)
Constantine was also rumored to have collected four leaf clovers before his Christian time of reign for his servants and witches to prepare potions for him with, Wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clover, could be taken as he struck gold by selling a bunch of four leaf clovers to Constantine.
I don't know, great song, love song of course, but the unintended historical references are intruiging when you think about them....
anyways, I love Something Corporate to death, I only wish they would get back together and make more music ! Jack's Mannequin is great, but he doesn't seem to have quite as much passion in his music as he did with Something Corporate, but thats just my opinion....
