Satellites
Alex Price Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another promise to believe in love coming from the stereo
If this is real if this is us
Is this love? can't get enough
We're falling higher and higher
We're falling higher tonight
And we know it is on tonight
We gonna rock rock and roll
Gonna rock rock the floor
Til we fall in love with life
Tonight see the world from way up high
We gonna rock rock and roll
Gonaa rock rock the floor
Til we fall in love with life
Sparks fly electrified throwing them colors up
Turn up the drums get into my arms never let this feeling go
We're higher and higher and higher
We're higher than higher tonight - oh
And we know it is on tonight
Going up like satellites
We gonna rock rock and roll
Gonna rock rock the floor
Til we fall in love with life
Tonight see the world from way up high
We gonna rock rock and roll
Gonna rock rock the floor
Til we fall in love with life
If this is real if this is us
Is this love? can't get enough
We're falling higher and higher tonight
And we know it is on tonight
Going up like satellites
We gonna rock rock and roll
Gonna rock rock the floor
Til we fall in love with life
Tonight see the world from way up high
We gonna rock rock and roll
Gonna rock rock the floor
Til we fall in love with life
In Alex Price's song "Satellites", the lyrics describe a generation who are waiting for something to believe in, and find it in the music that plays on the stereo at the dancefloor. They're questioning whether what they're experiencing is real and if it's love that they're feeling. Despite this uncertainty, they're falling higher and higher, and the song is ultimately about how the feeling of being alive is worth chasing, even if it's just for one night.
The imagery of satellites is used to describe the feeling of being high up in the sky, looking down on the world from a different perspective. The lyrics are about the idea of escapism and how getting lost in music and dance can provide that. The description of sparks flying and colors being thrown up adds to the idea that this is a moment of uninhibited joy and freedom.
Overall, the message of the song is one of optimism and a celebration of life, even if it's just for a fleeting moment.
