Satellite
Arora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
daydreamer slumbering, sleepy
rock city grows hearts green with envy
so don't fill it with love, fill it with money
waking up in the cold of night
all you do is pull the blanket tight
circle round like a satellite
every which way we're stuck in the middle, gimmie that loophole
every which way we're stuck in the middle, i won't ever let it go
everyone knows we're formulating all the ways to be adored
every which way we're stuck in the middle deeper than the ones before
listen, grace will show you both hands
mirrors rip our hearts wide open
i dare you to pay attention
fire burns you with fire
burns your intentions
say the things that you said before
excuses leading to a million more
do the things that you've done before
patterns leading all the way to war
The lyrics to Arora's song Satellite urge the listener to take a closer look at themselves, their desires, and their relationships. The first verse suggests that perhaps true happiness is an elusive goal, with people always wanting more and comparing themselves to others. The line "rock city grows hearts green with envy" paints a picture of a society that constantly craves status and wealth. The chorus tells of feeling stuck in the middle, searching for a way out, and not letting go of our dreams. Arora seems to be saying that we all have the power to create our own paths, but we need to pay attention and think carefully about what we want.
The second verse further explores the theme of introspection and self-reflection. The lyrics describe the struggle of trying to find warmth and comfort in an often-cold world. The line "circle round like a satellite" illustrates a sense of aimlessness, as if we are all just floating around without direction. But despite this feeling of being lost, Arora urges the listener to keep trying to get it right, to find their purpose and not give up. The bridge of the song describes the harsh reality of relationships, where sometimes we hurt each other without meaning to with our words and actions, and how important it is to watch our intentions. The final lines suggest that if we continue down the same path, it will only lead to war.
