Satellite
P.O.D. Lyrics

Satellite
Satellite

I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
No obstruction, this selfish corruption
All in this atmosphere
No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
I fail to inhale
Your love constricts my chest
Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
And it's because of you that now I can see
So now I can run. I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
And dance this last song of freedom
But only time will tell, if it's truly for real
Can't change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
Whether I'm wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
And never take you eyes off me

As I look up to the sky today
Well I can see you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again
S-S-S-Satellite

Satellite
Satellite

It's truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there
My eyes stare to find, just what's behind this blind notion of mine, is it
genuine
Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine
But it's like love or hate, now is that real or fake?
Cause it's a real thin line, but that's your choice to make
The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?
I think I can, can I think, then I think I can
Because I won't break (nah), and I won't shake (nah)
With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I'll stand in faith
I'll make it through, my trust in you
Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky
Hey thereâ?¦I see you

Shining Light
Shining Light
Blinding Light
Blinding Light
Shining Light
Shining Light
Blinding Light
S-S-S-Satellite

[Chorus]
Satellite
Satellite
Satellite (When I look up to the sky today, I can feel you looking down on me)
Satellite (It brings a smile to my face again, satellite)

Satellite

It's truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time

The lyrics express wonder and awe for the celestial bodies, particularly the satellite, which orbits our planet and provides us with a view of earth from an outside perspective. The singer imagines what it must look like from the perspective of the satellite, without obstruction or corruption, where fear and tears are replaced by clarity and perspective. The singer credits their newfound clarity to a divine source, acknowledging that confusion previously blinded them both mentally and physically, but through their faith, they are now able to see. As the singer looks up to the sky, they see the satellite and feel that it is looking down on them, bringing a smile to their face.

Line by Line Meaning

I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
From your vantage point up in the sky, things must seem much clearer than they do from my perspective


No obstruction, this selfish corruption
There is nothing blocking your view, unlike the selfish and corrupt world I see below


All in this atmosphere
Everything is happening within the same physical space


No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
Up there, there is no fear or sadness, only a chance to take a break and rest


I fail to inhale
I feel like I'm suffocating and can't breathe properly


Your love constricts my chest
Your love is overwhelming and can be suffocating, but it's worth it


Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
I was lost and didn't know which way to turn, both mentally and physically


And it's because of you that now I can see
Thanks to you, I can see where I'm going and what I need to do


So now I can run. I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
I am free to move forward and I will follow God until I reach my ultimate destination


And dance this last song of freedom
I am celebrating my freedom while I still have the chance


But only time will tell, if it's truly for real
I won't know if my freedom is real until time has passed and it's proven to be true


Can't change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
I can't control how you feel about me, all I can do is express how I feel about you


Whether I'm wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
No matter what happens, I hope that you will always be watching over me


And never take you eyes off me
I need your constant attention and guidance to make it through life


As I look up to the sky today
I am gazing up at you, my guide and source of hope


Well I can see you looking down on me
I feel like you are watching over me and guiding me, even from up in the sky


It brings a smile to my face again
This thought fills me with joy and hope


It's truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there
Your presence is a unique and special force, like a shining star in the dark night sky


My eyes stare to find, just what's behind this blind notion of mine, is it genuine
I am searching for the truth behind my beliefs, wondering if they are truly genuine


Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me and makes me doubt what I believe, which some people might find foolish


But it's like love or hate, now is that real or fake?
Beliefs are like emotions such as love or hate, and it can be difficult to tell if they are genuine or fake


Cause it's a real thin line, but that's your choice to make
The line between genuine and fake beliefs is thin and it's up to each individual to decide what to believe


The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?
I want to understand your plan for me, please guide me


I think I can, can I think, then I think I can
I have the power to think and I believe I can figure this out


Because I won't break (nah), and I won't shake (nah)
I am strong and I won't let anything break or shake me


With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I'll stand in faith
I will put my faith and trust in God and lift my hands up in praise


I'll make it through, my trust in you
I know I can overcome anything with your help and guidance


Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky
I am closing my eyes and making a wish, and I feel like I am kissing the sky


Hey thereâ?¦I see you
I feel like I can see you and I am filled with hope and joy


Shining Light
You are a shining light, guiding me through life


Blinding Light
Your light is so bright that it can be blinding at times


Shining Light
You are a shining light, guiding me through life


Guiding Light
You are my guiding light, showing me the way


Shining Bright
You are shining brightly and filling me with hope and joy


Guiding Light
You are my guiding light, showing me the way
