Satellites
James Blunt[WwW.ParooS109.CoM] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Five, four, three, two, one

She's another victim of life, we've come to know,
Technology, celebrity, all the things you cannot hold
She's from a long lost tribe looking for the light
Or a friend to hold her hand
She's doing the best she can
Seems that everyone we knows is
Out there waiting by a phone
Wondering why they feel alone
In this life

Are we all just satellites?
Where's the love? Show me tonight
Here's the moment we unite
For all we know life's just to dream
Who the hell knows what it means?
Stop the world and sing with me

All her memories have been
Experienced through
High speed on a video screen
That's all she ever knew
Did you know none of it's real if you can't feel
The beating of someone's heart
Don't leave yourself in the dark

Seems that everyone we knows is
Out there waiting by a phone
Wondering why they feel alone
In this life

Are we all just satellites?
Where's the love? Show me tonight
Here's the moment we unite
For all we know life's just to dream
Who the hell knows what it means?
Stop the world and sing with me

Are we satellites?
Are we satellites?

Are we all just satellites?
Where's the love? Show me tonight
Here's the moment we unite
For all we know life's just to dream
Who the hell knows what it means?
Stop the world and sing with me

Are we all just satellites?
Where's the love? Show me tonight
Here's the moment we unite
For all we know life's just to dream




Who the hell knows what it means?
Stop the world and sing with me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to James Blunt's song Satellites are a commentary on the modern world and the effects of technology and celebrity culture on individuals. The song speaks about a woman who is trying to find her way in life and relationships, but is struggling due to the overwhelming presence of technology in her life. The lyrics suggest that many people feel alone and disconnected despite being constantly connected through phones and social media. Blunt questions whether we are all just satellites, floating around in space, disconnected and orbiting without direction or purpose.


The lyrics also explore the idea that life may simply be a dream or an illusion, and that it's difficult to understand the true meaning or purpose of our existence. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this idea, with Blunt asking where the love is and encouraging listeners to come together and sing.


Overall, the lyrics of Satellites are thought-provoking, raising questions about the impact of technology and media on our lives and relationships, and challenging us to consider what it means to truly connect and find meaning in life.
