Satellite
B.o.B (Bobby Ray) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I lie is at breakfast time
When i dream about my oceans
I don't care about us
When I love it's up to you
To hold the keys of my own kingdom
I need someone like you
But you were built by water
And I was born by fire
So close yet so far
Or just drifted Apart
Will our satellites come back to us?
I don't care if you won't see
My satellites and breakfast tea
When I feel blue and insecure
I wanna hold the hands of my fate
And tell him that you're gone
But you ain't got no lover song
And I won't write it for you
Well, it's so damn hard
Not to act like a child
When our satellites stay away from us
Now or never meet me on a different planet
In a place where I never belonged to
I'm an halfway stranger searchin' partners for a dance
That I've never ever learn before
It's now or never and my breakfast tea gets colder
As my poor eyes blaze in the sky
Meet me on the edge of somewhere that I've never ever missed
And blame me again
I don't care if you won't see
My satellites and breakfast tea




'cause I need you to believe
That my pride would save my tears

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to B.o.B (Bobby Ray)'s song Satellite delve into the theme of self-reflection and reconnecting with faith. The first verse reflects on the clarity that comes with being outside of a situation and away from the confusions and distractions of life, allowing for a moment to catch one's breath. The second verse poses a series of questions regarding the authenticity of emotions and choices, exploring the thin line between love and hate, real and fake. The chorus repeats the refrain of "Satellite," which could symbolize an object in space that can see all but is disconnected, or it could represent a higher power, like God, who watches over us but we cannot physically see or touch.


Throughout the song, B.o.B. speaks about how his faith and trust in a higher power, referred to as "Jah" in the second verse, carries him through life's struggles. He acknowledges that he does not have all the answers and is often blinded by confusion, but ultimately puts his faith in something greater than himself. The combination of introspection, contemplation, and reverence for a higher power creates a complex and thought-provoking message in the song.


Line by Line Meaning

I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
I am contemplating how the view is from your perspective, without any obstructions or selfishness of earth, in comparison to my limited and corrupted view


No obstruction, this selfish corruption
There is no hindrance or blockage in your vision, whereas the earth is full of self-centered and corrupt motives


All in this atmosphere
All this happens within this physical realm


No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
There is no fear or anxiety, but only relief to breathe and take a break from emotional turmoil


I fail to inhale
Your love suffocates me and hinders my breathing


Your love constricts my chest
Your love overwhelms me to the point of constriction in my chest


Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
Your confusing and mixed signals caused me to be confused both mentally and physically


And it's because of you that now I can see
It is because of your previously confusing nature that I can now see and understand clearly


So now I can run. I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
I am now able to run and follow the light, headed towards the place of peace and paradise


And dance this last song of freedom
I am ready to dance happily, celebrating my freedom from confusion


But only time will tell, if it's truly for real
I am uncertain whether this newfound freedom and clarity is authentic or temporary, only time can confirm


Can't change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
I cannot control your thoughts, but I know that what I am feeling is real


Whether I'm wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
Regardless of my correctness, I request that you keep me in your view and under your guidance


And never take you eyes off me
I plead with you to never divert your attention away from me


As I look up to the sky today
As I gaze into the sky right now


Well I can see you looking down on me
I feel that you are watching over me from up above


It brings a smile to my face again
This realization brings joy back to my heart


It's truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there
The feeling and experience I am having is unique and special, like the shining of the stars beyond the darkness of night, are you present?


My eyes stare to find, just what's behind this blind notion of mine, is it genuine
I am searching to discover the true nature of my ignorant and mistaken beliefs, whether they are genuine or not


Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine
The uncertainty confuses my thoughts and decisions, some people label it as foolishness


But it's like love or hate, now is that real or fake?
My current situation can be compared to the dichotomy of love and hate, but which one is authentic and which is a facade?


Cause it's a real thin line, but that's your choice to make
The line between the genuine and fake is very thin, but ultimately it is your choice to decide


The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?
I am seeking answers to my questions, can you assist me in understanding if this was part of your plan?


I think I can, can I think, then I think I can
I have confidence in my ability to think and reason, therefore I believe I can come to an understanding


Because I won't break (nah), and I won't shake (nah)
I am determined to remain steadfast and not be swayed or shaken by my current circumstance


With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I'll stand in faith
With arms raised, I will place my trust in God and stand with unwavering faith


I'll make it through, my trust in you
I am certain that I will make it through by placing my trust in you


Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky
I will close my eyes, make a wish, and touch or caress the sky


Hey thereâ?¦I see you
Hello, I see you watching over me


Shining Light
A guiding light that illuminates the way


Blinding Light
A bright and intense light that can obscure vision


Shining Bright
A radiant, luminous glow


Guiding Light
A source of light that guides and directs

RAISING YOUR VIBRATIONAL RATE




Since we know that all creation is manifest from Divine energy, we also
know that the smallest component exist as pure energy. The density of
an object is governs how fast that energy can physically vibrate.
Therefore everything physically manifested vibrates within certain
ranges of frequency in order for human senses to perceive it.

A major factor that limits people from readily perceiving higher
dimensions is because the frequency rate of vibration is outside the
range of human perception. This contributes to their lack of faith and
ability to believe in something that can not be perceived through the
normal senses.

Even though you can’t perceive something doesn’t prove that it doesn’t
exist. For example, you can blow on a dog whistle and not hear it, but
the sound is real because your dog reacts. The Higher Dimensional
Beings and those Dimensions are being perceived by some people because
they have learned to perceive them through different senses, but for
most people this is beyond their range of perception. Though many
people are beginning or are working with energies on different planes
and dimensions because they are consciously working to increase their
rate of vibration.

Raising your vibration enables you to receive a more direct guidance and
clearer guidance from your Higher self because it vibrates at a higher
rate. Having this direct link allows for information to be more easily
accepted by the conscious and actualized. Therefore a direct link is
formed to interact with your Higher Self, Archangels, Ascended Masters
and the Brotherhood.

You can raise your personal vibration by doing specific energy work with
your Higher Self and Guides of Light. This frequency raising energy
work can be done by everyone, and is being done in many ways naturally
on an ongoing basis as the vibration of the Earth is being raised in
preparation for the Ascension.

Raising your vibration also opens you to different levels of
consciousness. The first level of change enters you into Lunar
consciousness, this is where clairvoyant and healing abilities heighten.
This stage of consciousness lasts for approximately five years.

The next stage is Solar Consciousness, you become more attuned and start
to heal and clear problems from all of the subtle bodies (physical,
emotional, astral mental and spiritual). This can last from three to
five years. This is a very high level and most people never go any
higher.


lightworkers, healers and Spiritual teachers that are to work on an
intense level with spirit can reach the next step which is Stellar
Consciousness. To reach Stellar means that you are a clear channel for
spirit, which requires cleaning and anchoring all your have chakras, and
dealing with all your karma.

Emergence with the Divine Force, God, Ultimate Being or whatever you
wish to call the superior force is the next step, and it truly is only
available to the great spiritual teachers. Activation of the 12 strands
of DNA into the physical and interface with the lightbody is completed.

Consequently, raising your vibration heightens your awareness, develops
telepathy, intuition, and increases "ESP" abilities in which to live
your life in a more conscious manner. This expanded awareness of energy
also helps to open and develop channels of communication from other
realms of Light Beings, Spirit Guides, and Nature Spirits. These realms
encourage intuition, knowing, and the ability to receive evident
guidance from Spirit, thus enhancing your quality of life by imbuing
harmony, balance, joy, and inner-peace.

Your reception of this increased Love or Light into your being projects
it into everything you do, effecting and anchoring more Light on the
Earth Plane. Furthermore, this benefits humanity by pioneering the path
which will result to encourage others to evolve on their spiritual
path.
