In a City
Satellites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But everybody speaks mine
Not the best environment for a paranoid mind
I live in a city
But I don't know the history
But fortunately it doesn't know mine
But I guess it's just a matter of time
Will you call my name when I am gone?
Will you fly my flag, will you sing my song?
Would you even care if I'm not there?
Would you scream out loud that I make you proud?
My son
I go back to the city that I owned as a small boy
But the streets they don't remember me and they don't care
Can't have been that much to remember me for
Will you call my name when I am gone?
Will you fly my flag, will you sing my song?
Would you even care if I'm not there?
Would you scream out loud that I make you proud?
I'm trying to cheat the ticking of time
Will you call my name when I am gone?
Will you fly my flag, will you sing my song?
Would you even care if I'm not there?
Would you scream out loud that I make you proud?
That I make you proud my son
In "In a City", Satellites is describing the feeling of being a stranger in a familiar place. While physically living in a city, the singer does not feel like they belong. They don't speak the language and they don't know the history of the place. They also admit to having a paranoid mind, which only adds to their feeling of isolation. Despite this, everyone around them seems to understand them perfectly. The chorus poses a series of questions about what happens when they're no longer there. Will people remember them? Will they miss them? Will they be proud of them?
The second verse adds a layer of nostalgia. The singer goes back to the city they lived in as a child, perhaps looking for some sense of connection or comfort. However, they find that the streets "don't remember" them and "don't care". The final chorus repeats the same questions, but now with an added urgency. The singer wants to "cheat the ticking of time" and ensure that they will be remembered and make a positive impact on others.
