Beneath the Satellites Lyrics

I used to be a main contender
Arrive alone and piece together
Why did I come here to be ignored?

Late afternoon the stations crowded
I'm alone but meeting someone
Take me somewhere I've not been before

Beneath the satellites
I'll meet you there
We'll watch the city swallowing the sky
Beneath the satellites
I'll meet you there

I wish that I had tried to care more
I wish that I had had some forethought
I wish that I could feel the way you feel

If everything is so fantastic
If this is our time
Then why do I feel like I'm missing out?

Beneath the satellites
I'll meet you there
We'll watch the city swallowing the sky
Beneath the satellites
I'll meet you there
We'll watch the city swallowing the sky

What's that you say you say to me we're wasting all our time
I don't believe the sun will ever set

Beneath the satellites
I'll meet you there
We'll watch the city swallowing the sky
Beneath the satellites
I'll meet you there

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'm so glad someone agrees this was written for radio! Even the video was disappointing. Hopefully Avalanche is more like Guillotine, to me, Thieves is mostly filler with just a hint of killer.
