Neon Sun
Satellites Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a light flashing bright onto Istedgade driving me sideways
Gravity pulling me
There's a glint in the eye under neon light
30-something schoolgirl
Gravity pulling me
Pulling me down
You were a saviour putting yourself between the neon sun and I
I was happy to fry
No one would blame you
Turning your back and run from the neon sun to shade
I just wanted to stay Heh, heh, heh
There's a glow burning amber and calling me
This could be your last chance
Gravity lifting me
There's a war being fought every Saturday
With no sign of victory
Gravity lifting me above it all
You were a saviour putting yourself between the neon sun and I
I was happy to fry
No one would blame you
Turning your back and run from the neon sun to shade
I just wanted to stay heh heh heh





Yeah I just wanted to stay
There's a light flashing bright onto Istedgade somewhere behind me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Neon Sun by Satellites describe the captivating and dangerous allure of the nightlife in the city. The neon lights and the energy of the city pull the singer in and threaten to take him down. The first stanza describes how the light of the city is so bright it's driving him sideways and the gravity is pulling him down. The second stanza talks about how the neon light shines in the eyes of a thirty-something schoolgirl who captivates the singer. Again, the gravity of the city affects him, pulling him down.


The chorus mentions a savior, someone who put themselves between the neon sun and the singer, protecting him from its dangerous effects. The singer was happy to continue down that path of self-destruction, but the savior saw the danger and turned their back on the neon sun, leaving the singer there. The singer, however, just wanted to stay within that dangerous and exciting environment, despite knowing the consequences. The last stanza talks about how the glow of the city is tempting and could be the last chance for the singer - almost like a warning that he needs to be careful, but the gravity of the city still pulls him in.


Overall, the lyrics of Neon Sun describe the constant pull and gravity that the city has on people. It's exciting and dangerous all at once, and sometimes it takes a savior to protect people from getting too caught up in it all.
