This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Can anybody hear me
Or am I talking to myself
My mind is running empty
In the search for someone else
Who doesn't look right through me
It's all just static in my head
Can anybody tell me why
I'm lonely like a satellite?
'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted off
Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot
Can I please come down, come down
'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round
Can I please come down?
I'm deafened by the silence
Is it something that I've done
I know that there are millions
I can't be the only one who's so disconnected
It's so different in my head
Can anybody tell me why
I'm lonely like a satellite?
'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted off
Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot
Can I please come down, come down
'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round
Can I please come down?
Now I lie awake and scream in a zero gravity
And it's starting to weigh down on me, whoa
Let's abort this mission now
Can I please come down?
So tonight I'm calling all astronauts
All the lonely people that the world forgot
If you hear my voice, come pick me up
Are you out there?
'Cause you're all I've got
And tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted up
Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot
'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
To the lonely people that the world forgot
Are you out there?
'Cause you're all I've got
Can I please come down?
'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round
(Can I please come down?)
Or am I talking to myself
My mind is running empty
In the search for someone else
Who doesn't look right through me
It's all just static in my head
Can anybody tell me why
I'm lonely like a satellite?
'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted off
Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot
Can I please come down, come down
'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round
Can I please come down?
I'm deafened by the silence
Is it something that I've done
I know that there are millions
I can't be the only one who's so disconnected
It's so different in my head
Can anybody tell me why
I'm lonely like a satellite?
'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted off
Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot
Can I please come down, come down
'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round
Can I please come down?
Now I lie awake and scream in a zero gravity
And it's starting to weigh down on me, whoa
Let's abort this mission now
Can I please come down?
So tonight I'm calling all astronauts
All the lonely people that the world forgot
If you hear my voice, come pick me up
Are you out there?
'Cause you're all I've got
And tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted up
Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot
'Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
To the lonely people that the world forgot
Are you out there?
'Cause you're all I've got
Can I please come down?
'Cause I'm tired of drifting round and round
(Can I please come down?)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Definitely one of their best songs
Well no one is going to be useful so I guess I'll be. Pretty obvious what it means. He feels like he has no one that he can talk to, even though he's probably physically surrounded by people. This is kind of like I'm Just a Kid in a way. He wants to find someone to just talk to or something because he's tired of not relating to anyone.
This is kinda how I feel since my best friend moved and turned into an asshole. It was probably a bad idea to put all my energy into one person, but I have trouble making friends with anyone that I can relate to.
Can anybody hear me or am I talking to myself My mind is running empty in the search for someone else Who doesn't look right through me, it's all just static in my head Can anybody tell me why I'm lonely like a satellite
Cuz tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut, sending SOS from this tiny box And I lost all signal when I lifted up, now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot Can I please.. come down, come down Because I'm tired of drifting round and round, and round, can I please come down
I'm deafen by the silence, is it something that I've done I know that there are millions, I can't be the only one Who's so disconnected, it's so different in my head Can anybody tell me why I'm lonely like a satellite
Cuz tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut, sending SOS from this tiny box And I lost all signal when I lifted up, now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot Can I please.. come down, come down Because I'm tired of drifting round and round, and round, can I please come down
Now I lie awake and scream in a zero gravity And it's starting to weigh down on me Let's abort this mission now, can I please come down
So tonight I'm calling all astronauts, all the lonely people that the world forgot If you hear my voice come pick me up, are you out there, cuz you're all I've got
The song might be about someone feeling lonely even though he's surrounded by people and has all he needs, but I don't see it from this viewpoint.
I relate to it because it explains how lonely I personally feel and I do not have any friends, so nobody to lean on because my family seems to have much more overwhelming problems than I do...
I feel this song could be an asexual anthem
well, i think the "I" in the song has friends, has a job and everything he needs, but he still feels lost because he has nobody to love and be loved, nobody to turn to in hard times, nobody who is there for him/her. he/she fells lonely because he/she has not the felling to LIVE, only to act what the others tells him/her.
this song really describs my feelings although i'm not brave enough to tell. yes, I feel lonely, and I need some love.
