Spent Venom
Satellites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A hundred words I wish could be unspoken
Spent venom rivers running down the walls
Even though I am, I’ll never say that I’m sorry
Wires under skin & bone to my soul, wires under skin & bone
Even though I’m right, I’ll let you think that I’m sorry
I don’t want a fire anymore, pour on water I don’t want a fire anymore, pour on water, pour on water, wohh
Turn our sanctuary to stone wohh, let the snakes lose in the home, wohh
Dig a mile under brick and stone till fingers are bone
I’m looking for something, I know a heart lies somewhere here
Plastic skin stretched over bones
Synthetic flowers won’t make a happy home
Open windows won’t clear this air
I no longer care, let alone feel sorry
I don’t want a fire anymore, pour on water
I don’t want a fire anymore, pour on water, pour on water, wohh
Turn our sanctuary to stone wohh, let the snakes lose in the home, wohh
Dig a mile under fucking stone till fingers are bone
I’m looking for something, I know a heart lies somewhere here
The search is on, I’m looking for something, anything
Buried deep in the aftermath I know there’s something
Come on, come on
These lyrics from Satellites' song Spent Venom speak of a feeling of darkness and heaviness in the room, with a hundred words that the singer wishes could be taken back. The image of "spent venom rivers running down the walls" is a powerful one, suggesting that whatever has been said and done has poisoned the atmosphere. The singer admits that they will not apologize, despite knowing that they are in the wrong. There is a sense of wires under the skin and bone, connecting the singer's soul to the situation. The singer acknowledges that they are right, but still wants the other person to think that they are sorry, indicating a desire for emotional closure rather than genuine remorse.
The chorus "I don't want a fire anymore, pour on water" suggests a desire to quench or extinguish whatever has been burning, to let the emotion and tension cool down. The image of turning the sanctuary to stone and letting the snakes loose in the home is a powerful image of destruction, indicating that the singer is willing to let go of whatever they once held dear. There is a sense of desperate searching in the lines "Dig a mile under brick and stone till fingers are bone / I'm looking for something, I know a heart lies somewhere here." The singer wants to find something, anything, that can make sense of the chaos and pain.
The final lines of the song "The search is on, I'm looking for something, anything / Buried deep in the aftermath I know there's something / Come on, come on" speak of a willingness to keep searching, even in the face of darkness and uncertainty. The song suggests that healing and closure may be elusive, but the singer is determined to keep going.
