Bone Trophies
Satellites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will see you sleep alone
With all that ever came to love
For you I take away instead now
Everything you hold so dear
Replace with all the things you fear
Remove you from the safe and warm
And place you in the face of harm now You said I'd be under your wing
The bone trophies upon the table gave no warning
I learned my lesson now
I learned my lesson now
I had pure liquid in my bones
I held the world up on my own
I let you in
The privileged few
You came and raided all that you could hold
You said I'd be under your wing
The bone trophies upon the table gave no warning
I learned my lesson now
I learned my lesson now
I learned my lesson now
I learned my lesson now
The lyrics of Satellites's song Bone Trophies describe a betrayal and a painful lesson learned. The singer speaks to their betrayer, someone who promised to protect them but instead took everything dear to them and replaced it with fear and harm. The singer acknowledges their own vulnerability, describing how they "let [the betrayer] in" and allowed them to raid and take everything they could hold. The "bone trophies upon the table" serve as a reminder of this betrayal and the lack of warning or protection that was given.
The lyrics are filled with imagery of coldness, isolation, and danger. The singer describes seeing the betrayer "sleep alone," suggesting a sense of isolation and abandonment. They speak of being removed from safety and warmth and placed in the face of harm. The bone trophies symbolize the way in which the betrayer has taken everything that was once precious to the singer and left them with nothing but a painful lesson learned.
In summary, the lyrics of Bone Trophies tell a story of betrayal and loss. The singer speaks to the person who hurt them, acknowledging their own vulnerability and pain. The imagery used throughout the song emphasizes the sense of isolation and danger that the singer feels, and the bone trophies serve as a haunting reminder of the betrayal that took place.
Line by Line Meaning
As cold as cold can be behold
I am so cold and distant towards you
I will see you sleep alone
I will watch you go through life alone
With all that ever came to love
Despite all the love you have received
For you I take away instead now
I will take away from you instead
Everything you hold so dear
All the things you cherish
Replace with all the things you fear
I will replace them with things you are afraid of
Remove you from the safe and warm
I will remove you from comfort and safety
And place you in the face of harm now
And put you in danger now
You said I'd be under your wing
You promised to protect me
The bone trophies upon the table gave no warning
But the warning signs were there all along
I learned my lesson now
But I have learned my lesson now
I had pure liquid in my bones
I had pure love and trust in my heart
I held the world up on my own
I tried to handle everything on my own
I let you in
I let you into my life
The privileged few
Only a select few have access to my heart
You came and raided all that you could hold
But you took advantage of my trust
I learned my lesson now
But I have learned my lesson now
I learned my lesson now
But I have learned my lesson now
I learned my lesson now
But I have learned my lesson now
