Satellites
Tanner Patrick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not only for the stars and airplanes
There's no way that we could stay
But I got us two tickets for the weekend
Leave your troubles behind
Don't worry tonight they don't even matter
Taking off in a flash sit back and relax
We're like satellites
Floating in the night sky
Getting high- waiting on the sunrise
You and I have never been better
When we turn we turn we turn to satellites
We turn we turn to satellites
Landscapes and shades of gray
A blinding light shining on my face
We won't find a better place
To feel a freedom like this
Leave your troubles behind
Don't worry tonight they don't even matter
Taking off in a flash sit back and relax
Enjoy the view
We're like satellites
Floating in the night sky
Getting high- waiting on the sunrise
You and I have never been better
When we turn we turn we turn to satellites
We turn we turn to satellites
I think I found a getaway
It's not only for the stars and airplanes
There's no way that we could stay
So let's just call it our vaca
We're like satellites
Floating in the night sky
Getting high- waiting on the sunrise
You and I have never been better
When we turn we turn we turn to satellites
We're like satellites
Floating in the night sky
Getting high- waiting on the sunrise
You and I have never been better
When we turn we turn we turn to satellites
We turn we turn to satellites
We turn we turn to satellites
We turn we turn to satellites
We turn we turn to satellites
In Tanner Patrick’s song “Satellites,” the singer shares their desire to escape their worries and find a “getaway.” They mention that this place is not only for stars and airplanes, suggesting a metaphorical place rather than a physical one. However, they have bought “two tickets for the weekend” and invite someone to come along. They promise a temporary release from all their problems and the chance to see amazing views while floating like satellites in the night sky. The singer expresses their content with their companion, reassuring that they have “never been better.” The chorus repeats, emphasizing the feeling of floatation and the promise of a temporary escape from reality in this metaphorical “getaway.”
The message of escape is prevalent in these lyrics. The singer needs a break from their realities, and the song offers an invitation to join them on this journey. It's full of hope, joy, a great escape, and the beauty of seeing things in a different perspective. Furthermore, the singer shares that they and their companion are like “satellites” and will remain that way even when they turn. This could be suggesting that their bond is unbreakable, just like the satellites that have been orbiting the Earth for years without ceasing to exist.

We are enjoying a sense of liberation and release
So let's just call it our vaca
