Satellite Of Love

I don't think writing an obscure song about jealousy is the most effective way of getting the attention of a girl. But at least is a good song.

I like the Jealousy angle for this song. The whole Lyric gives me the feeling of a man who is dealing with the letting go/holding on phase of a breakup. "I watched it for a little while, I like to watch things on TV" is my favorite line because of it's simplicity. It's like sure, nobody wants to see their girl with another dude, but we still go on facebook to see what she's up to and who she's hanging out with. We indulge and even feed our jealousy in a masochistic rage. I'm surprised that nobody commented on the latently sexual nature of "soon it will be filled with park and cars". I mean I think this song really captures that voyeuristic, and stalkerish aspect of jealousy. It's like the worst kind of agony, and the lyrics are humorous and poignant which makes it funny but also more agonizing at the same time. That last lyric reminds me of this stand up comic who I can't remember. He was talking about an ex-girlfriend and breaking up. He was all like, and I'm paraphrasing: 'You know how your girl likes to take your big fat load on her face, and you think you're special? You think it's just YOUR load that she loves so much. No, your girl likes loads. Not just yours. She's out there right now with another man doing it the EXACT same way she did it with you.' I think this song is supposed to evoke that sensation of okay someone is banging my girl, the girl who used to be all mine, and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.

@d9930380 I like your interpretation. Also, who parks cars in outer space? Being filled with parking cars is a reference to dicks perhaps? Great song. Cheers!

That must've been lovely

@whateveryouwantittobe You lost half of your virginity? How’s ‘at work?!?

I’ll bet that even though it was your “first time”, you still got a little bit pregnant, right?

@whateveryouwantittobe You lost half of your virginity? (Damn, if that is possible, I kinda wish I'd saved half of mine for later, too) Or, you lost all of your virginity halfway through the song? (if that is true, btw, you have a great memory...do you know the exact timestamp where you lost it?) I am just so confused, and it really shouldn't bug me, as it has nothing (at least I don't think so, anyway lol) to do with me, but it will forever be a question in the back of my mind now. Thanks. LOL

@kainaw Sometimes I wonder how many of these stories from the sixties are real history and how many are apocryphal, but, have you ever read or heard about the words Nico said to Lou when she kicked him to the curb?!?

(TEUTONIC ACCENTED ENGKISH):
“I can no longuh sleep mit Jews”

????‍♂️ idk if it’s true or if it was just tacked onto VU “History” after Nico recorded Deutschland Uber Alles in the 70s lol

A satellite is defined by the object it orbits. A physicist will tell you that the satellite is forever falling toward its attractor, yet paradoxically we can all see that it never gets any nearer. To get closer, it would need to lose its own forward motion, and would soon be burned.

SOL, SOL, SOL, out of luck

Going "way up to mars" is adventurous. Filling it with "parking cars" transforms the exotic to the mundane, worthy not of getting off the sofa. tv is voyeuristic--a decidedly one-way communication. One can drop dead watching life on tv.

SOL, SOL, SOL, out of luck

Things gone "right up to the skies," generally will not return. When one is driven out of one's mind, it can be by a thing one loves, despises or both. To drive you really out of your mind, probably both. After such a drive, one parks it on Mars.

@paranoidandroid83 it’s pretty obvious to me that Harry = heroin and Mark and John = MJ = marijuana

These are pretty standard drug references just like Mary Jane = marijuana (see Rick James “Mary Jane”)
