Likeshine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
were the ones were the
one two three four
were not like the other guys
were not like anybody
by the way dont go back in time
or youll destroy yourself
steven and the crystal gems
i accidentally created
an alternate timeline
steven and the crystal gems
come on now dont be shy
i learned to stay true to myself
by watching myself die
The song Satellite by Likeshine talks about the unique nature of the band members as compared to other guys. They wouldn't want anyone to go back in time as it would lead to self-destruction. The verse, "Steven and the crystal gems, we're gonna make you smile" is a reference to Steven Universe, where Steven and the Crystal Gems fight against alien threats and save the world.
Likeshine also talks about how they accidentally created an alternate timeline, which could refer to how they have different ideas and perspectives from others. The phrase, "I learned to stay true to myself by watching myself die" further reinforces the theme of self-discovery and realization.
The song shows the band's uniqueness and their ability to stay true to themselves. The references to Steven Universe also suggest that they may draw inspiration from the show's themes of fighting for a better future and being true to oneself.

cant you see it in our eyes
Our expressions say it all
were the ones were the one two three four
We are the unique and only ones out there
were not like the other guys
We aren't like anybody else
were not like anybody
We stand apart from the rest
by the way dont go back in time
Don't look to the past, it can hurt you
or youll destroy yourself
It can be detrimental to dwell on previous moments in time
steven and the crystal gems
The group of unique individuals who will make you happy
were gonna make you smile
We may just give you a reason to grin
i accidentally created
It wasn't intentional
an alternate timeline
A separate reality I unintentionally brought into existence
come on now dont be shy
Don't hesitate, join us
i learned to stay true to myself
I discovered the importance of remaining authentic
by watching myself die
By witnessing my own experiences, even the negative ones
