Satellite
Benjamin Lasnier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This girl is from across, start to (stuff?)
drives me insane oooh oh
something about her smile, hypnotized
can't get away yeaah
cause she's like kryptonite
cuts through every bone of mine
makes me week, turns me round
I can see that I am blind
and spinning like a satellite
just like a satellite
can't keep her off my mind
I can not wait to stop
take a look at that, take a look at that
girl just makes me wonder
oh baby can you feel my vibe
22 thousands miles apart
can't seem to capturize
just like a satellite
I'm in her atmosphere
take me there I can't escape oooh oh
stuck in her orbit zone
up above can't stop the (fade?) yeaah
cause she's like kryptonite
cuts through every bone of mine
makes me week, turns me round
I can see that I am blind
I'm spinning like a satellite
just like a satellite
can't keep her off my mind
I can not wait to stop
take a look at that, take a look at that
girl just makes me wonder
oh baby can you feel my vibe
22 thousands miles apart
can't seem to capturize
just like a satellite
just like a satellite
just like a satellite
yeah just like a satellite
baby can you feel my vibe
22 thousands miles apart
can't seem to capturize
just like a satellite
just like a satellite
just like a satellite




just like a satellite
just like a satellite

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Benjamin Lasnier's "Satellite" express the strong attraction the singer feels towards a girl who is far away from him. He describes her as being like kryptonite, cutting through every bone of his and making him weak and blind. He compares himself to a satellite, spinning uncontrollably in her orbit zone, unable to escape her pull. Despite being physically separated by thousands of miles, he can't stop thinking about her and wonders if she can feel his vibe.


The imagery used in this song is evocative and striking. The comparison of the girl to kryptonite suggests that she has a powerful, magnetic pull that the singer cannot resist. The metaphor of the satellite further emphasizes his lack of control, as he is caught up in her gravitational field and unable to break free. The repetition of the phrase "just like a satellite" reinforces this idea and gives the song a dreamy, hypnotic quality.
