Satellite
Starset Lyrics

Darkening skies
The skies are turning dark, possibly indicating a foreboding event

Coming this way
Whatever is causing the darkening skies is approaching the singer

Falling behind
The singer is falling behind and being left in the darkness

Into nothing
The singer is fading away into obscurity

But if you lead I will follow
The singer is willing to follow someone who takes charge

A thousand miles away
The singer is willing to follow this person regardless of the distance

I will be your Apollo
The singer is willing to be supportive and take a leadership role

Alone in outer space
The singer may feel isolated, with this person serving as their only connection

Satellite
This word represents a device that serves as a connection between two people or places

Shine on me tonight
The singer is asking their metaphorical satellite to give them hope and guidance

I will be your gravity
The singer is willing to provide support in return for help

I will stay and never leave
The singer promises to be loyal and never abandon their satellite

My satellite
The singer is claiming this person or device as their own, showing a level of possessiveness

Are you here tonight?
The singer is questioning whether their satellite is present and able to help them

Shine your light and set me free
The singer wants their satellite to show them the way and help them escape their current situation

Take the darkness out of me
The singer wants their satellite to provide hope and positivity when things are dark and uncertain

Blinded I wait
The singer is unable to see and must wait for guidance

The end is forming
The singer believes that something significant and possibly negative is about to happen

You are my fate
The singer believes that their satellite is what will ultimately determine their destiny

Give me warning
The singer is asking their satellite to give them advance notice of any upcoming events

Far across the emptiness I walk the night
The singer is metaphorically wandering through a dark, empty space

And search the silence in the dark you left behind
The singer is looking for answers in the absence of their satellite

I seek the stars above the world to be the guides
The singer is searching for a source of guidance to help them in their journey

But they all pale against the light in your eyes
No other source of guidance compares to what the singer finds in their satellite

And I won't suppose to know why you walked away
The singer doesn't know why their satellite has left them

But I can feel you pushing through beyond the space
The singer believes that their satellite is still trying to contact them, even from a distance

To send your energy to me and I'll push through
The singer is willing to work hard to reestablish contact with their satellite

Send your signal home and bring me back to you
The singer is asking their satellite to help guide them back to them

Shine on me
Repeated from earlier, this line is still asking the satellite for guidance and hope
