Satellite Lyrics

Cover art for Satellite lyrics by Anna Nalick

It sounds like something along the lines of an abusive relationship: "Black and blue, I chose my way." Black and blue represents bruises, and the rest of the phrase talks about how she chooses to stay in a violent relationship.

"So I found my guiding light, lambant, flashing red and white through a starry night." Red and white is obviously the opposite of black and blue. I think that the "satellite" in this song is her image of the perfect man; the complete opposite of the one she's with.

In the chorus, she's begging for her knight-in-shining-armor of sorts to save her. While the "two-way radio" may just be a substitution for a satellite (since that is what a satellite essentially is), it may also be a telephone. This may suggest looking for someone else.

"All in all I fare the same wishing on an aeroplane as calling stars by name. A lonely song of freedom rings, in hope of someone listening." This obviously adds to the whole telephone thing, but it also shows that she's trying in vain to find someone else.

But that's just what I got from it.
