Satellites
S.P.O.C.K Lyrics

I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
I am pondering how the view of the world must be from a satellite's perspective.

No obstruction, this selfish corruption
There are no barriers preventing the satellite from clearly seeing our world, but there are negative human behaviors that exist.

All in this atmosphere
The satellite can observe everything happening on Earth within the atmosphere.

No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
From the satellite's point of view, there is no emotion, pain, or need to breathe.

I fail to inhale
The artist's emotions are hindering their ability to breathe properly.

Your love constricts my chest
The singer is experiencing tightness in their chest caused by the emotions they feel for someone else.

Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
The singer is overwhelmed and confused both mentally and physically.

And it's because of you that now I can see
The person the artist is in love with helped them gain clarity and understanding.

So now I can run. I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
The artist is now free to pursue their path and follow their beliefs.

And dance this last song of freedom
The artist can finally express themselves and their newfound freedom.

But only time will tell, if it's truly for real
The singer is unsure if their newfound freedom and beliefs are genuine, time will tell.

Can't change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
The artist is aware that they cannot force their beliefs on others, but they know this is how they truly feel.

Whether I'm wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
Regardless of whether the singer's beliefs are correct, they ask to be watched over.

And never take you eyes off me
The singer wants to be constantly observed and protected.

As I look up to the sky today
The singer looks up at the sky and reflects on their own beliefs.

Well I can see you looking down on me
The artist sees a higher power observing and supporting them.

It brings a smile to my face again
The validation and support from a higher power makes the artist feel happy.

It's truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there
The singer is questioning the existence of a higher power and wonders if they are out there.

My eyes stare to find, just what's behind this blind notion of mine, is it genuine
The singer is on a quest to seek the truth behind their beliefs and if they are truly genuine.

'Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine
The artist acknowledges that their beliefs are sometimes difficult to comprehend and can be deemed foolish by others.

But it's like love or hate, now is that real or fake?
The artist views their beliefs as something that others may view as either genuine or fake.

Cause it's a real thin line, but that's your choice to make
It is up to each individual to determine the genuineness of one's beliefs, even though it may be difficult.

The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan?
The singer is questioning whether a higher power has a plan for them or not.

I think I can, can I think, then I think I can
The artist questions their own ability to think and reason through their beliefs.

Because I won't break (nah), and I won't shake (nah)
The singer is steadfast in their beliefs and will not be shaken.

With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I'll stand in faith
The singer expresses that their beliefs are rooted in faith.

I'll make it through, my trust in you
The singer trusts in a higher power to guide them through life.

Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky
The artist is expressing the act of making a wish and looking up to the sky, hoping a higher power is listening.

Shining Light, Blinding Light, Shining Light, Blinding Light
The artist is acknowledging the light that a higher power provides, but also acknowledges that it can be overwhelming.

Guiding Light, Shining Bright, Guiding Light, Shining Bright
The singer recognizes the guidance and clarity that a higher power provides.

Satellite, Satellite, Satellite, Satellite
The singer uses the word satellite as a metaphor for a higher power, watching over them from above.
