Satellite
Tea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try not to want something else
Step back and fall in line
Look at yourself
Satellite

Getting a taste of what you've got
Grabbing your second tries
Now you've got wings to fly
Spin me a rock-a-bye

[Chorus]
I have air
Send me away
Can't stop screamin'
That four-letter word
Now I'm done
Don't dismiss it
So I don't tell you
Haven't you missed it?

Get into things you ignore
Cut off myself and lived again
Looked in my own
Satellite

Grab me a taste of what you've got
Turn down that second try
Always have wings to fly
So spin me a rock-a-bye

[Chorus]

It goes on and on
And everywhere you look
You find a little piece of someone
Who was feeling kinda let down

It goes on and on
And everywhere you look
You find a little piece of someone
Who was feeling kinda let down

It goes on and on
And everywhere you look
You find a little piece of someone
Who was feeling kinda let down

I have air
Send me away
Can't stop screamin'
That four-letter word
Now I'm done
Won't dismiss it
So I don't tell you
Haven't you missed it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah




Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tea's song "Satellite" seem to be urging the listener to stop wanting something else and instead focus on themselves. The line "step back and fall in line, look at yourself" suggests an introspective viewpoint is necessary to gain awareness and stop longing for something unattainable. The reference to a "satellite" could indicate an idea of being an observer looking down at oneself, disconnected from reality. The song suggests that the listener should "get into things you ignore" and "cut off myself and lived again". This might suggest that experiencing new things and personal growth is what leads to a fuller and more fulfilling life.


The chorus of the song, "I have air, send me away, can't stop screamin' that four-letter word, now I'm done, won't dismiss it, so I don't tell you, haven't you missed it?" seems to express a desire to escape reality and be free, while also hinting at the possibility of romantic feelings for someone. The repetition of the lyrics "it goes on and on, and everywhere you look, you find a little piece of someone who was feeling kinda let down" may suggest that this desire for freedom and self-discovery is something many people experience.


The overall message of the lyrics seems to be that self-reflection and embracing new experiences can lead to a more fulfilling life, while a longing for something unattainable can lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction.
