The Model
Satellites Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's a model and she's looking good
I'd like to take her home that's understood
She plays hard to get, she smiles from time to time
It only takes a camera to change her mind

She's going out to nightclubs, drinking just champagne
And she has been checking nearly all the men
She's playing her game and you can hear them say
She is looking good, for beauty we will pay

She's posing for consumer products now and then
For every camera she gives the best she can




I saw her on the cover of a magazine
Now she's a big success, I want to meet her again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "The Model" by Satellites depict the story of a beautiful and confident woman who uses her looks to gain fame and success. The first verse introduces us to the model and her desirability. Her reluctance to give in to the singer's advances, despite her occasional smiling, only increases her allure. However, it seems as though her mind can be easily swayed by the prospect of being photographed.


The second verse portrays the model's social life, where she frequents nightclubs and drinks champagne. Men are drawn to her, but she only seems to be using them as part of her game. The men continue to praise her beauty, even as they know that they are paying for it. The final verse suggests the model's success as she is seen on the cover of magazines, promoting consumer products. The singer expresses a desire to meet her again now that she is a renowned success.


Overall, the lyrics suggest that the model is playing with the expectations of the people around her, using her looks to gain power and success. The song hints at the superficiality of beauty standards and the industry built upon them, suggesting that the model's fame and fortune may not have true depth or value.
