Keep in mind Collective Soul makes frequent religious references. The Serpent from the Old Testament was temptation and a "Satellite" defined by Merriam Webster is "1: a hired agent or obsequious follower : minion, sycophant". He is basically saying the individual is behaving in a sinful manner.
I'm not convinced this song is about relationships or even about a girl in particular. I find many of Collective Souls lyrics to relate to more esoteric philosophical or theological concepts. However they do seem to often illustrate this by an interaction between two people. Sort of the way Thomas Aquinas wrote, there is a name for it but I cannot recall it. It is where the author writes statements both by a proponent and an objector.
