Tilian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You swing around like a tether
Try to find the words to make you stay
Took my time and cover up the moon
Lookin' less and less like forever
You're here but a million miles away
It's not anything that you said
The distance just fills up my head.
You're way up livin' on a satellite
(Oh Whoa Oh, Oh Whoa)
Come back, see you spinnin' out of sight
(Oh Whoa Oh, Oh Whoa)
You got me screamin' at a light in the sky
But you're too far away to notice my cry
From way up livin' on a satellite.
(Oh Whoa Oh, Oh Whoa)
I'm not gonna walk away just yet
I'm here for worse or for better
Gravity could pull you back to me
I'm not gonna give up and forget
I'd follow you to where ever
Not finished making memories
It's not anything that you said
The distance just fills up my head.
You're way up livin' on a satellite
(Oh Whoa Oh, Oh Whoa)
Come back, see you spinnin' out of sight
(Oh Whoa Oh, Oh Whoa)
You got me screamin' at a light in the sky
But you're too far way to notice my cry
From way up livin' on a satellite.
If I just let you go would you be better off alone?
If I just let you go would you come back all on your own?
You're way up livin' on a satellite
Come back, see you spinnin' out of site
You're way up livin' on a satellite
Come back, see you spinnin' out of site
You got me screamin' at a light in the sky
But you're too far away to notice my cry
From way up livin' on a satellite.
If I just let you go would you be better off alone?
If I just let you go would you come back all on your own?
If I just let you go would you be better off alone?
If I just let you go would you come back all on your own?
In the song "Satellite" by Tilian, the singer is navigating a long-distance relationship and trying to hold on to his partner who is far away. He's afraid of losing her and feels like she's a million miles away, even though she's physically present. He tries to find the right words to make her stay and is hoping that gravity will pull her back to him. He's also questioning whether letting her go would be the best decision for her, even if it breaks his heart.
The chorus of the song talks about his partner living on a satellite, and he's screaming at a light in the sky, but she's too far away to notice his cry. He's pleading with her to come back, and he's not giving up on their relationship because he's not finished making memories with her. The song ends with him asking whether letting her go would be better for her and whether she'd come back on her own.
Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of long-distance relationships and the challenges that come with them. Tilian's lyrics are heartfelt and emotive, and his vocal delivery is suitably vulnerable.

Lyrics: [For the record, the parts between "-- <text> --" I'm not really sure about. Feel free to correct it.]
I tiptoe on the fear of losing you
You swing around like a tether.
Trying to find the words to make you stay
Take my time and cover up the moon.
Looking less and less like forever
You're here but a million miles away.
It's not anything you said,
The distance just fills up my head.
You're way up living on a satellite.
Come back I see you spinning out of sight.
You got me screaming -- I don't mind a little sky? --
But you're too far away to notice when I cry
From way up, living on a satellite.
I'm not gonna walk away just yet.
I'm here for worse or for better.
Gravity could pull you back to me.
I'm not gonna give up and forget
I'll follow you to wherever.
We're not finished making memories.
It's not anything you said,
The distance just fills up my head.
You're way up living on a satellite
Come back, I see you spinning out of sight.
You got me screaming -- I don't mind a little sky? --
But you're too far away to notice when I cry
From way up, living on a satellite
If i just let you go, would you be better off alone?
If I just let you go, would you come back all on your own?
You're way up living on a satellite.
Come back, I see you spinning out of sight.
You're way up living on a satellite.
Come back, I see you spinning out of sight.
You got me screaming -- I don't mind a little sky? --
But you're to far away to notice when I cry
From way up, living on a satellite

If I just let you go, would you be better off alone?
If I just let you go, would you come back all on your own?
@crownclowncreations
Was so taken aback by the feelings this evoked in me, I almost started crying.
The visuals accommodating the lyrics and Tilian's beautiful voice - this is all I could ever ask for from an artist. And I low-key love that both characters could be either male or female.

I love this video and this song so much. I feel like the astronaut died on impact, hence why they were reuinted with their lover and brought back to the place they like before it all fades away. Dark, but beautiful.
Keep it up, Tilian. <3
@OmgItsAlexOfficial
So much respect to the guy who makes these videos. I forget his name. So much work goes into these. Nice song too!
@MrRyanMattB
No, Mattias does the album covers. These videos are John Howe
@BalioSunder
Tilian’s songs hit my soul because I relate to them too much. So glad I saw him at a concert. 💜
@anonymousshinytaco
Tilian, thank you so much for everything you do.
This song hits home hard every time I hear it and I genuinely can feel the emotion put behind the words in it.
I remember meeting you here in Dallas, Texas on your acoustic tour and how kind you were to take a picture with me and when you performed it was like watching the music literally come alive in front of me.
I just want you to know how much I appreciate everything you've done for the music industry and how heartfelt your passion for it is.
@aaronyoung5767
How is this only at 20k views? Tilian is an amazing vocalist.
@danspitalnik
+Aaron Young It baffles me. I think if one of his songs got played on a mainstream radio station, he would quickly become relatively well known. His stuff is all so catchy.
@Pailgingerman
Hes well known on the west coast. Hes just really starting out. Dgd being the band that really helped him gain notoriety.
