Satellite
Action Item Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause everywhere you are, is where I wanna be
And I can see that your lies, well they stand by
But you hold on for me, for me
And I don't wanna take away the wind
Everywhere that you have never been
I don't wanna hold you down, my satellite, satellite
And I don't wanna hold you down my satellite, satellite
There's something in your smile
There's something in your laugh, ohh
Well it's breaking my heart, to keep holding you back
And I can see that your lies, well they stand by
But you hold on for me, for me
And I don't wanna take away the wind
Everywhere that you have never been
I don't wanna hold you down, my satellite, satellite
And I don't wanna say I'll ever be, nothing more to you than gravity
And I don't wanna hold you down my satellite, satellite
Woah oh, you know there's so much waiting on the other side
Woah oh, you know, I wanna let you shine
You are my satellite
I don't wanna take away the wind
Everywhere that you have never been
I don't wanna hold you down, my satellite
And I don't wanna say I'll ever be, nothing more to you than gravity
And I don't wanna hold you down my satellite, satellite
I don't wanna take away the wind
Everywhere that you have never been
I don't wanna hold you down, my satellite
No I don't wanna go, no I don't wanna leave, no
The lyrics of the song "Satellite" by Action Item talk about a protagonist who is conflicted about his relationship with his significant other. He doesn't want to leave her because he wants to be wherever she is, but at the same time, he doesn't want to hold her back. He acknowledges his partner's lies but also knows that she is holding on to him. The singer doesn't want to stop his partner from exploring new things and experiencing new adventures, in essence, he doesn't want to be the anchor that holds her back.
The chorus of the song reinforces the singer's desire to let his partner explore the world, and he doesn't want to keep her down. He acknowledges that there is much more waiting for her on the other side, and he wants to let her shine. The chorus repeats itself at the end and emphasizes the singer's reluctance to leave his partner's side.

No I don't wanna go, no I don't wanna leave, no
I don't want to be anywhere else but with you
Cause everywhere you are, is where I wanna be
I want to be with you wherever you go
And I can see that your lies, well they stand by
I know you're not being truthful, but you stay by my side anyway
But you hold on for me, for me
You stay with me despite my faults and flaws
I don't wanna hold you down, my satellite, satellite
I don't want to constrain you, my love
And I don't wanna say I'll ever be nothing more to you than gravity
I don't want to be just a force that holds you down
There's something in your smile
Your smile lights up my world
There's something in your laugh, ohh
Your laughter brings joy to my heart
Well it's breaking my heart, to keep holding you back
I care for you too much to keep you from your dreams
Woah oh, you know there's so much waiting on the other side
I know there is a world of opportunities and possibilities outside our bubble
Woah oh, you know, I wanna let you shine
I want to see you thrive and succeed
You are my satellite
You are the constant presence that orbits around me
