Satellite Stories Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And damn do I miss someone
The heat is on
But my blood runs cold
And my blood runs cold
Tokyo keep rolling on
Now I remember what I came for
And I’m running and I’m running and I’m running in circles now
In my veins
Flows mercury
Flows mercury
I’m now the man that I used to be
I´m now seeing what I used to see
In my veins
Flows mercury
Flows mercury
I’m now the man that I used to be
I’m now seeing what I used to see
Shining lights on
an empty street
on an empty street
Is where I wanna be
No one knows
the battle you’re in
the battle you’re in
But we’re all fighting
But we’re all fighting
Now I remember what I came for
Now I remember what I came for
And I’m running and I’m running and I’m running in circles now
In my veins
Flows mercury
Flows mercury
I’m now the man that I used to be
I’m now seeing what I used to see
In my veins
Flows mercury
Flows mercury
I’m now the man that I used to be
I’m now seeing what I used to see
In my veins
Flows mercury
Flows mercury
I’m now the man that I used to be
I’m now seeing what I used to see
In my veins
Flows mercury
Flows mercury
I’m now the man that I used to be
I’m now seeing what I used to see
The lyrics to Satellite Stories' song "Mercury" are full of imagery and introspection. The opening lines, "Shivers in my body in the eastern sun, And damn do I miss someone," convey a sense of longing and nostalgia. The singer is feeling a physical and emotional response to the environment around them, specifically the heat of the eastern sun. The mention of missing someone suggests that they may be in a distant place or reminiscing about a past relationship.
The chorus, "In my veins flows mercury, I’m now the man that I used to be, I’m now seeing what I used to see," carries a metaphorical meaning. The flowing mercury in the veins symbolizes a change or transformation within the singer. It signifies a shift in perspective and how they perceive themselves and the world around them. They acknowledge that they have become the person they used to be, implying a rediscovery of their former self. The line "I’m now seeing what I used to see" further emphasizes this theme of rediscovery and a return to a familiar mindset.
The second verse introduces the desire to escape to an "empty street," highlighting a sense of solitude and yearning for simplicity. The following lines, "No one knows the battle you’re in, But we’re all fighting," suggest that everyone faces their own struggles, even if they are not readily apparent. This sentiment invokes a feeling of solidarity and empathy, recognizing that despite our individual battles, we are all united in the human experience.
Overall, "Mercury" explores themes of longing, self-discovery, and interconnectedness. It delves into the emotions and experiences that shape us, reminding us of the power of reflection, introspection, and the common threads that bind us all.

Shivers in my body in the eastern sun
I feel a powerful sensation in my body under the bright morning sun
And damn do I miss someone
I deeply and passionately long for someone's presence
The heat is on
The temperature is rising
But my blood runs cold
Despite the heat, I feel a chilling sensation in my veins
Tokyo keep rolling on
The city of Tokyo continues to move forward without pause
Now I remember what I came for
I have regained my purpose and recalled why I am here
And I’m running and I’m running and I’m running in circles now
I am caught in a repetitive cycle of running without progress
In my veins
Within my bloodstream
Flows mercury
Mercury, representing change and transformation, is coursing through me
I’m now the man that I used to be
I have returned to being the person I once was
I´m now seeing what I used to see
I have regained the ability to perceive things as I once did
Shining lights on an empty street
Bright lights illuminate a deserted street
Is where I wanna be
That is where my desired destination lies
No one knows the battle you’re in
Nobody truly understands the struggles you are facing
But we’re all fighting
Nevertheless, we are all engaged in our own battles
