Satisfied
Pamela Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moment you wake up
Time falls behind
Memory so vague
It leaves you blind.
And in the morning when you wake
Nothing feels real nothing feels right
Did you sabotage your dreams?
Satisfied?
Do you believe in you?
Are you satisfied?
Can you survive?
Satisfied?
With paranoia
Are you satisfied?
She stares from a distance
What can she say?
She follows in silence.
You′re miles away
Your demons haunt you
For what could have been?
You medicate for pleasure.
Satisfied?
Do you believe in you?
Are you satisfied?
Can you survive?
Satisfied?
With paranoia
Are you satisfied?
MINUTES BLENDING
INTO HOURS
BLENDING INTO DAYS
EXHAUSTED BY YOUR WORDS
BORED BY WHAT YOU SAY
YOU'RE SPENT
SHE′S LOST
NOW IT'S ASHES TO ASHES
WE ALL FALL DOWN
Satisfied?
Do you believe in you?
Are you satisfied?
Can you survive?
Satisfied?
With paranoia
Are you satisfied?
Satisfied?
Do you believe in you?
Are you satisfied?
Can you survive?
Satisfied?
With paranoia
Are you satisfied?
The lyrics of Pamela Moore's song "Satisfied" tell the story of an individual who struggles with inner demons, leading to a lack of satisfaction in their life. The song begins with the moment of waking up, where time falls behind, and memory is vague, leading to a feeling of blindness. The morning brings no sense of reality or rightness, and the chorus question whether the individual is satisfied with themselves, their beliefs, and their ability to survive in the world. The lyrics suggest that the individual has lost "something" or "sabotaged their dreams," leading to a state of paranoia and medicating for pleasure.
The song then imagines the perspective of a distant observer, someone who follows in silence, unable to connect with the individual. The demons that haunt the individual are seen as potential regrets and fears about what could have been. However, the individual finds no solace in medication and instead spirals into exhaustion and boredom.
The final chorus repeats the question of satisfaction, reinforcing the feeling that the individual is stuck in a state of disillusionment, unable to find a way out of their inner turmoil.
Overall, the lyrics of "Satisfied" explore the complexities of mental health and finding satisfaction in oneself, leaving a somber and reflective feel to the song.

I believe I heard these songs right about this time, as her cover band Boy Toy played them here in Seattle. I've known Pammy since the late '80s. Got the album, it's as good as anything as she's ever made.
