Satellites
J. von der Burg - A. Bhagavan - N. von der Burg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are twinned in a fugitive mind
Friends should stay together and
Light the world with the fugitive kind
So you keep talking in many languages
Telling us the way you feel
Don't stop confiding in the road you're on
Walking satellites
She laughs satellites
A room filled with satellites
Ah, walking satellites
We were born forever
Tunneled into the fugitive night
Friends must stay together
Code the world with the fugitive light
I just saw you walking
Ice was reading fortunes by the moonlight
Casting runes on the rooftops and alleys
You'll never read it more than you will tonight
So you keep talking in many languages
Telling us the way you feel
Don't stop confiding in the road you're on
Don't quit, you're walking satellites
Walking satellites
She laughs satellites
A room filled with satellites
Ah, walking satellites
The lyrics of J. von der Burg - A. Bhagavan - N. von der Burg's song "Satellites" depict a sense of unity and friendship among individuals who share a "fugitive mind," or the tendency to feel like they don't quite belong in the world. The idea of being born "forever" suggests that these individuals feel a sense of timelessness and connectedness to each other. The chorus emphasizes the idea of being "walking satellites," or people who are moving through the world but also connected to something greater than themselves.
The lyrics suggest that communication is key to maintaining this sense of connectedness, as the singer encourages their friend to "keep talking in many languages" and "don't stop confiding in the road you're on." This idea of confiding in one another reinforces the importance of maintaining a sense of community and staying true to oneself. The imagery of "reading fortunes by the moonlight" and "casting runes on the rooftops and alleys" suggests a sense of mysticism and the possibility of understanding oneself and the world in a deeper way.

Throwing the ancient symbols of fate onto the houses and streets
You'll never read it more than you will tonight
You will never see more than you will tonight
