There was something special about being able to play just by yourself — something about the emotion in it made me want to continue playing.’ At age nine, when she had a better handle of the English language, she began writing songs. Her first original composition was titled ‘I Had A Dream’, which referred to how hard the world can be. Songs such as ‘Running With The Wolves’, ‘I Went Too Far’ and ‘Runaway’ were written in this early stage of her life, with ‘Runaway’ being written when she was 12.

Sleeping Satellite
Aurora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the dream that died
With the eagles' flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Whoah ohh oh yeah yeah
Did we fly to the moon to soon
Did we squander the chance
In the rush of the race
The reason we chase is lost in romance
And still we try
To justify the waste
For a taste of man's greatest adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Have we lost what it takes to advance?
Have we peaked too soon
If the world is so green
Then why does it scream under a blue moon
We wonder why
If the earths sacrificed
For the price of it's greatest treasure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles' flight
Blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Whoah ohh-oh yeah yeah
Whoah ohh-oh yeah yeah
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
And when we shoot for stars
What a giant step
Have we got what it takes
To carry the weight of this concept
Or pass it by like a shot in the dark
Miss the mark with a sense of adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles' flight
Blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Whoah ohh-oh yeah yeah
Don't bla
me this sleeping satellite is a song that reflects on the human race's progress and its achievements, but also questions if those achievements have been at the expense of the planet. The lyrics reflect an individual's disappointment in their realization that humans may have advanced too quickly, ignoring the harm they may have caused to the world in the process. The song suggests that people are responsible for the problems that exist today, including environmental degradation and hunger, and those issues cannot be solely attributed to any external forces such as an inactive satellite that is 'sleeping'.
The chorus of the song is repetitive and catchy, which adds to its allure, and the lyrics are open to interpretation. The song seems to contain a message of both hope and despair, and it can be interpreted in different ways by different individuals. One common meaning drawn from the song is that there is no one to blame for the mistakes of the past, and that instead of looking to blame others, we must take responsibility for our actions and try to make things better.

I blame you for the moonlit sky
I hold you responsible for the beauty of the moon in the night sky
And the dream that died
And for the lost dream that died long ago
With the eagles' flight
During the time of eagles soaring through the sky
I blame you for the moonlit nights
I hold you responsible for the moonlit nights that leave me wondering
When I wonder why
When I question why things are the way they are
Are the seas still dry?
Asking if the oceans are still barren
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Not to attribute the current situation to the inactive satellite
Did we fly to the moon to soon
Did we accelerate our pace towards the moon too soon
Did we squander the chance
Have we wasted a precious opportunity
In the rush of the race
In the heat of the competition
The reason we chase is lost in romance
The purpose of our pursuit has been obscured by romance and passion
And still we try
Yet, we continue to exert effort
To justify the waste
To find reason for the resources we've used up
For a taste of man's greatest adventure
In the hope of experiencing humankind's most significant journey
Have we lost what it takes to advance?
Have we lost the abilities to progress?
Have we peaked too soon
Have we achieved our zenith too early
If the world is so green
If the earth is so lush and fertile
Then why does it scream under a blue moon
Why does it seem to be in distress at night with a blue moon?
We wonder why
We are puzzled about the situation
If the earths sacrificed
If the earth has been contributed
For the price of it's greatest treasure
As the price to maintain its most valuable resource
And when we shoot for stars
And when we aim for the stars
What a giant step
Such a notable and notable act
Have we got what it takes
Do we have the capability to achieve it?
To carry the weight of this concept
To bear the consequences of striving towards this idea
Or pass it by like a shot in the dark
Or fail to make use of a chance to realize it
Miss the mark with a sense of adventure
Fail to hit the target despite the eagerness and enthusiasm
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Do not put the blame on the dormant satellite

1992 was the first time I heard this song. If you haven’t heard the original, then you need to. It’s a masterpiece. Tasmin Archer is amazing. I like this upbeat version, but nothing beats the original.
Jess Riseley
This is well said yep this definitely isn’t the original
👑 KING DAVID 👑
Naimee voice is miles better than Tasmin.
This version is definitely an improvement on the original.
