Railway Line
Satellites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm really not the screaming kind you know
And you know better than anyone
Let me go, I swear that I won't tell a soul
Especially any folks that we both know
Cause they know better than anyone
That a change is coming, I'm the 1st man running As the sirens sound on your side of town
Keep up with me or let me run free
All I know is this all ends tonight
I wish you luck
Cause even when my limbs are cut
I am going to stand right up and go
And you know better than anyone
That a change is coming, I'm the 1st man running
As the sirens sound on your side of town
Keep up with me or let me run free
Keep up with me or let me run free
Cause this all ends tonight
The lyrics of “Railway Line” by Satellites express a sense of desperation and urgency to escape from a dangerous situation. The singer of the song is tied to a railway line and pleads with their captor to untie them. They reassure their captor that they won’t tell anyone about what happened, but ultimately they need to escape. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of something that their captor and other people in their community are not, and that this knowledge is what’s driving them to escape.
The refrain “keep up with me or let me run free” emphasizes the singer’s determination to break free from their bondage and embark on a new path. The song ends on a note of defiance, with the singer declaring that they will rise again even if they are cut down.
Overall, the lyrics of “Railway Line” are dark and intense, yet also convey a sense of hope and resilience. The singer is determined to escape and make a new life for themselves, despite the odds against them.
Line by Line Meaning
For the final time untie me from this railway line
Release me from this situation once and for all
I'm really not the screaming kind you know
I won't be making a scene or causing a fuss
And you know better than anyone
You know me well and understand my character
Let me go, I swear that I won't tell a soul
Allow me to leave and I promise to keep quiet
Especially any folks that we both know
I won't divulge our secrets to anyone we know
Cause they know better than anyone
Those we know will understand the changes that are coming
That a change is coming, I'm the 1st man running
I'm aware of the upcoming changes and want to be the first to leave
As the sirens sound on your side of town
I hear the warning signs indicating that it's time to leave
Keep up with me or let me run free
Either keep pace with me or allow me to escape on my own
All I know is this all ends tonight
This situation will be resolved tonight, one way or another
I wish you luck
I hope everything goes well for you
Cause even when my limbs are cut
Even if I'm injured or held back
I am going to stand right up and go
I will still continue on despite setbacks
And you know better than anyone
You understand my determination and resilience
Keep up with me or let me run free
Don't try to stop me or hold me back
Cause this all ends tonight
This situation will be over and resolved tonight
