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

Blinding Light
Blinding Light

S-S-S-Satellite

[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of P.O.D.'s "Satellite" are about the singer's spiritual journey towards enlightenment and the role of a higher power in guiding him through his struggles. The song suggests that the higher power is watching over the singer from above, guiding him along the way towards his ultimate destination, which is the promised land of Zion.


The first verse paints a picture of a clear view from above, unobstructed by the selfish and corrupt distractions of the world. The singer acknowledges the power of the higher power's love, which sometimes feels like a constriction in his chest, but ultimately gives him the strength and clarity to run towards his goals, while acknowledging that only time will tell whether he is truly on the right path.


The second verse contemplates the nature of the relationship between the singer and the higher power, asking whether it is real or fake, and expressing confusion about the role of the higher power in the singer's life. The singer ultimately decides to trust in the higher power and stand in faith, with lifted hands to the "Man" (Jah), knowing that he will make it through with the help of the higher power's guidance.
