"The Constant" adalah sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh band metal Anthrax. Lagu ini mengekspresikan perasaan terasing dan pencarian identitas di tengah perjalanan waktu. Liriknya yang kuat menggambarkan keinginan untuk menemukan sesuatu yang konstan di tengah perubahan hidup yang tak terduga, sebuah jangkar yang dapat memberikan arti dan stabilitas.

The Constant Lyrics
Anthrax
And you know my face
And how it is I know you
Something so familiar
I can’t recognize
And I slip, and I slip
As I slip unstuck in time
Gotta find my constant
Or my mind is lost
Stronger, than any stretch of my imagination
Spanning, my world my all
Am I here now in between undivided?
I am whole now, so hear me
Scream as my heart pound
Moving too fast now
I am here, I am here
Lost in the moment
Caught in the current
I am here, I am here
Scream as my heart pound
Burn out the past now
I am here, I am here
Now close my eyes, take the paste and
Burn it, burn it
Burn it down
I’m here, I’m there
Slipstream I scream
Tell me you hear me
My time is here, my place is now
And I slip, and I slip
As I sleep through space I’m tethered
A lifeline to cross time back at you
If I could change one thing I’d
Take back all the lost time
I spent away from your side
Go back and make I right
And how it is I know you
Something so familiar
I can’t recognize
And I slip, and I slip
As I slip unstuck in time
Gotta find my constant
Or my mind is lost
Stronger, than any stretch of my imagination
Spanning, my world my all
Am I here now in between undivided?
I am whole now, so hear me
Scream as my heart pound
Moving too fast now
I am here, I am here
Lost in the moment
Caught in the current
I am here, I am here
Scream as my heart pound
Burn out the past now
I am here, I am here
Now close my eyes, take the paste and
Burn it, burn it
Burn it down
I’m here, I’m there
Slipstream I scream
Tell me you hear me
My time is here, my place is now
And I slip, and I slip
As I sleep through space I’m tethered
A lifeline to cross time back at you
If I could change one thing I’d
Take back all the lost time
I spent away from your side
Go back and make I right
