Either the battery or the starter is dead. I'd check the battery first.

Try to pop start the car. If you're successful then its the starter

i think your starter is faulty. it shouldnt be your battery. if its constantly clicking and your lights are flickering... and it sounds like your car is dying... its your battery. maybe it could be your alternator.

Yeah, I had that happen once too... Check all your connections before you pull your starter out... You may get lucky....

I never realized how finicky the electrical system is prior to that...
