Satellite
Mika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder.
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping tom for the mother station
Winters cold spring erases
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Satellite, headlines read
Someones secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more, tell me more
Who's the king of your satellite castle?
Winters cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Rest high above the clouds no restrictions
Television we bounce round the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling,
I laugh about the weathermans satellite eyes.
Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder.
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping tom for the mother station
Winters cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Rest high above the clouds no restrictions
Television you bounce from the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
I laugh about this world in my satellite eyes.
The song "Satellite" by Mika is a commentary on the power of technology and media in our lives. The singer observes a satellite in the sky, which represents how we are all connected through technology. The satellite is strung from the moon, implying that technology has become an integral part of our lives. The "world your balloon" suggests that technology allows us to expand our perspectives and knowledge, but also implies a loss of control.
The lyric "Peeping tom for the mother station" suggests that technology is voyeuristic and invasive, watching and listening to us even when we don't realize it. The singer questions who has control over this technology, asking "Who's the king of your satellite castle?" The repetitious chorus reminds us to look around us and be aware of the power technology has over us.
The line "Rest high above the clouds no restrictions" implies that technology allows us to overcome physical barriers and boundaries. The reference to the "weatherman's satellite eyes" suggests that technology can even influence our perception of reality.
Overall, "Satellite" encourages us to be aware of technology's power over us and to seek balance in our relationship with it.
