Satan Spawn
Orbital Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

daddy,
yes son
what does regret mean?
well son, a funny thing about regret
is it's better to regret something you have done,
then something you haven't done
and if you see your mother this weekend can you remember to tell her
SATAN SATAN SATAN SATAN SATAN SATAN SATAN SATAN




Overall Meaning

The song "Satan Spawn" by British electronic music duo Orbital is a perplexing one. The song starts with a conversation between a father and son. The son asks his father what regret means, and the father responds in an unexpected way- he says that it's better to regret something that one has done than not done. This is quite an interesting interpretation of regret, as society often tells us that we should regret things we have done wrong in the past. The father's response suggests that it's better to have lived a full life, with ups and downs, than living a life of regrets and unfulfilled dreams.


However, the song takes a dark turn when the father asks the son to tell his mother something- to say "SATAN" repeatedly. This sudden shift is jarring and puzzling. It's not clear why the father is asking his son to say "SATAN", and whether there is any deeper meaning to it. The song ends with a distorted voice saying "Poor little boy", leaving the listener with a sense of unease and confusion.


In conclusion, "Satan Spawn" is a song that speaks to the complexity of human emotions- it explores regret, life choices, and the dark aspects of humanity such as Satan worship. It's a disorienting and thought-provoking piece of music that leaves a lasting impression on the listener.
