Satellite Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Data trails
Like fingernails
Scratch across
The sky

Hard to know
Figure out
Tell the truth
From lies
Everywhere
Listening
Every word
You say
Think I found
A way around
Yeah, I think I found
A way
Well, come on
Come on
Come on
Come on

[Chorus]
Satellite
I'm watching you
I'm one step ahead
Satellite
I'm part of you
I'm inside your head

[Verse 2]
Yes we can
Yes we did
Eliminate
The spread
Better watch
What you think
What was that
You said?

Everywhere
And everything
And every word
You say
Think I found
A way around
Yeah I think I found
A way
Come on

[Chorus]
Satellite
I'm watching you
I'm one step ahead
Satellite
I'm part of you
I'm inside your head

Satellite
I'm watching you
I'm one step ahead
Satellite
I'm part of you
I'm inside your head

[Outro]
Satellite
Satellite
I know you're up there somewhere
Satellite
I know you're up there somewhere
Satellite
(So very high)
I know you're up there somewhere
Satellite
(So very high)
I know you're up there somewhere
Satellite
(So very high)
I know you're up there somewhere
Satellite
(So very high)
I know you're up there somewhere
Satellite
(So very high)
I know you're up there somewhere
Satellite
(So very high)
I know you're up there somewhere
(So very high)
(So very high)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Opening into the first verse, quiet, low-register vocals layer behind a danceable beat loop surrounded by atmospheric synthesizers. Echoing distorted guitars break up parts of the multiple verses, then cover the background of the track during the chorus, which is mostly built on the differing lyrics and vocal layering. The coda of the track augments these elements with jangling guitar reminiscent of The Fragile and, prominently, a bassline backed by ‘swarm’ guitar layering that changes the mood of the track into something more mysterious and sinister. As layers build, the song gives out to several of the ambient layers and vocals only, fading out all the way.
