240z not starting

so cars been running great but this afternoon i went to start it and it wouldn't turn over. Turn the key and you get loud rapid clicking (starter not properly engaging?) and the dome light in the car flicks on and off with it. tried rolling the car forward in gear for a different spot on the flywheel but that just put my nose half in the street for me and my little brother to push out. Ideas?

Sounds like a dead battery if the lights flicker.

You think? If it is imma feel pretty dumb. Guess that loud clicking was just throwing me off. I'll get it charged and tested tomorrow
