Where My Friends Are Gone
Satellites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If they have goose bumps or believe in magic 'cause they never show it
And it's hard to trust their smile behind there's,
They only call you when they need you as they've always done
And it's hard to behave normally say "I live on my own"
To be true with that I should take the commas off
Maybe they all feel the same and that's whyWe all remain alone, alone, alone
Better that than that accept them
Is damn damn damn damn, damn it
We're my friends have gone?
You know they come when my love is... gone
We're my friends have gone?
You know they come when my love is... is gone
I don't want to be,
I don't want to see,
And surely don't want to feel their way,
Seems that all the time that she's been here
Nobody has seen,
Nobody can be that way,
No one can be
Like the girl who puts sand in my eyes, no one has seen
That's she's got a mouthful of black pearls aside
And feel guilty after hurting people doesn't mean anything at all
When nuisance is what you feel when you here their voices
I guess a friend is someone you
Care in not to hurt
I know a friend is someone you
Take care in not to hurt
You know they come when my love is... gone
We're my friends have gone?
You know they come when my love is... is gone
I don't want to be,
I don't want to see,
And surely don't want to feel their way,
Seems that all the time that she's been here
Nobody has seen,
Nobody can be that way,
No one can be
Like the girl who puts sand in my eyes, no one has seen
That's she's got a mouthful of black pearls aside
Uhhhh uhhhh uhhhh
Uhhhh uhhhh uhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
The song "Where My Friends Are Gone" by Satellites talks about the difficulty of identifying and trusting true friends. The lyrics begin by expressing the difficulty of listing friends when one is unsure of their beliefs or emotions, as these are often hidden behind false smiles or only revealed in times of need. The singer also struggles with the idea of living alone and being honest about it, as it is hard to acknowledge when we need someone's support. The chorus asks where the singer's friends have gone, as they seem to only appear when his love has left, suggesting that they may not be true friends after all.
The second verse continues to describe the complexity of friendships, including the guilt one might feel after hurting others or feeling annoyed with their voices. The verse acknowledges that true friendship involves genuine care and protection from hurt. The final lines of the song bring in a girl who is unique and unseen, represented by the image of having "a mouthful of black pearls aside" and "putting sand in my eyes". The repetition of the song's melody and the use of vocalizations in the outro add an emotional depth to the song, conveying the complexity of the singer's experience with his friends.
