Satellites
Samantha James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching everybody breathing silently
Hoping all the dreams will never pass in time
It's hidden messages unravel in our minds...
I feel your gaze looking down on me
We'll see in time to what's gone by...
If we could send it to the stars
Watching like satellites and seeing what's to come
Subconsciously we look up to the sun
Turning into frequencies from high above
Desire will prepare our eyes to see
Channels to our future's destiny
I feel your gaze looking down from space
We'll see in time to what's gone by
If only we feel as who we are
If we could send that to the stars
Watching like satellites and seeing what's to come
If only we'd take our time to find
Why we were sent up to the sky
Waiting like satellites seeing from above
If only we feel as who we are
If we could send that to the stars
Watching like satellites and seeing what's to come
If only we'd take our time to find
Why we were sent up to the sky
Waiting like satellites seeing from above
The lyrics of Samantha James's song Satellites describe the sensation of flying above a sleeping city, observing the dreams of its inhabitants, and transmitting that information to future generations. The song seems to imply that our desires and dreams play a role in determining our future, and that we should take the time to understand our purpose in life. The verses float above the city, watching people sleep and dreaming, and hoping that they will persist. The chorus talks about the importance of understanding ourselves and our place in the world so that we can send that message to the stars.
The song has a dreamy and atmospheric feel with its emphasis on space and the cosmos. It is a song that expresses a longing for deeper understanding and connection, both with oneself and the wider world. It calls for us to take the time to find our purpose and meaning as we make our journey through life.

Flying high above the city as it sleeps
Observing enigmatically over the sleeping city
Watching everybody breathing silently
Witnessing everyone breathe calmly in the dark
Hoping all the dreams will never pass in time
Desiring that dreams will never fade away
It's hidden messages unravel in our minds...
Decoding the concealed messages in our thoughts
I feel your gaze looking down on me
Sensing an extraordinary stare from above
We'll see in time to what's gone by...
We'll understand the past eventually
If only we feel as who we are
If only we recognize our true identity
If we could send it to the stars
If we could transmit our thoughts beyond our world
Watching like satellites and seeing what's to come
Observing like satellites, glimpsing the future
Subconsciously we look up to the sun
Without awareness, we stare at the bright star
Turning into frequencies from high above
Transforming into waves coming from space
Desire will prepare our eyes to see
Yearning will prime us to understand
Channels to our future's destiny
Pathways to what is yet to happen
I feel your gaze looking down from space
Perceiving an extraordinary stare from the sky
If only we'd take our time to find
If only we explore thoroughly
Why we were sent up to the sky
To realize the purpose of us in the universe
Waiting like satellites seeing from above
Patiently observing from an aerial view
