Satellite City
Robby Maria The Silent Revolution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello, is there anybody calling my name?
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Caravan to the moon
Crazy children are building houses on the moon
Caravan to the moon
They built a Satellite City in the sky
A Satellite City in the sky
Satellite City in the sky
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Caravan to the moon
Spaceships are flying into uncertain afternoons
Caravan to the moon
The revolution has begun without a sound
We built a Satellite City in the sky
A Satellite City in the sky
Satellite City in the sky
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
The opening lines of "Satellite City" by Robby Maria The Silent Revolution are a plea for contact with beings from outer space. This could be interpreted in a number of different ways -- perhaps the singer is looking for a sign of life beyond Earth because they feel isolated and alone, or because they are hoping that a more advanced species might have answers to the problems that humanity is facing. The repetition of the word "hello" suggests a sense of longing and urgency.
The following verses are more concrete in their description of humanity's attempts to explore space. The "crazy children" building houses on the moon evoke a sense of wonder and imagination, while the "Spaceships flying into uncertain afternoons" suggest that there is danger and risk involved in this endeavour. Nevertheless, the human race is eager to reach the moon, and the song suggests that they will succeed in doing so. The chorus -- "They built a Satellite City in the sky / A Satellite City in the sky" -- implies that the human race has achieved a great feat by constructing a city in space.
