This Is All That There Is
Satellites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything we know
Everyting within arm's reach
Is where the boundaries go
I want to love you
But I need you even more
A spinning circle shaped room
One static window high
We get to look outside
I want to need you
But I know there's nothing there
The king is on his mountain
Owns all he can see
Every word spoken
Adhered to literally
Incite a revolution
The dissident few
Who share the king's opinion?
It does nothing at all
The lyrics to "This Is All That There Is" by Satellites paint a picture of a limited and stagnant existence. The first verse establishes that we are confined within certain boundaries and that everything within those limits is all we know. The singer desires to love someone, but acknowledges that their need for that person is even greater. The imagery of a spinning circle shaped room with a static window high up conveys a sense of being trapped and unable to see the outside world. The second verse describes a king on his mountain, who owns everything he can see and expects everyone to adhere to his literal interpretations. The dissident few who oppose him are powerless, as their actions do nothing at all.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the limitations and injustices of our society, and the struggle of individuals to break free from these constraints. It speaks to the desire for connection and love, but also the recognition that these needs may not be fulfilled in the current state of things.

This is all that there is
The reality we live in is limited to what we know and experience
Everything we know
Our knowledge and awareness is confined to our surroundings and experiences
Everyting within arm's reach
The physical boundaries we can interact with are the extent of what we can influence
Is where the boundaries go
The area we can physically engage with defines the limits of our control and influence
I want to love you
My feelings for you are positive and affectionate
But I need you even more
My dependency on you is greater than my desires for you
A spinning circle shaped room
The environment we are in is constantly moving and changing, but within a pattern
One static window high
Our perspective is limited and unchanging, despite the movement and alteration of our environment
Once in every cycle
Occasionally, a brief opportunity arises to experience something different
We get to look outside
We are granted a glimpse into a different reality or perspective
I want to need you
My desire for you to be present and essential in my life is strong
But I know there's nothing there
Despite our hopes and needs, what we desire may not actually exist or be tangible
The king is on his mountain
The person in power has complete control and command over their domain
Owns all he can see
The person in control is the master of their environment, and it is entirely under their jurisdiction
Every word spoken
Communication must be precise and literal, or else it is not valid
Adhered to literally
Anything said must be taken exactly as spoken and not subject to interpretation
Incite a revolution
To spark change in the established system and challenge the status quo
The dissident few
Those that go against the norm to challenge existing beliefs and systems
Who share the king's opinion?
Are there any that support the person in power's views or actions?
It does nothing at all
Challenging the norm may not lead to any significant change or impact
