Satellite Talk
Longing Across the Wires
Lyrics
Let those satellites talk
Expressing the desire for communication through satellites.
and they will repeat what i say to you so that it doesn't feel like we're so far away
Satellites repeating messages to bridge the perceived distance in a relationship.
from hearing each other scream out over every wire and cord
Highlighting the challenge of expressing emotions across technological connections, emphasizing the longing to connect.
'cause they make me want you all the more
The presence of satellites intensifying the desire for the person being communicated with.
Right now this machine's cold, my baby is not home
Describing the current state of the machine (possibly a phone or communication device) and the absence of the speaker's loved one.
And i know her phone will just ring on that table
Awareness of the anticipation for a phone call, symbolizing a connection with the absent loved one.
And so i must wait just to hear you say,
Expressing the patience required while waiting for the loved one to initiate a conversation.
"hello, my love, i have been dreaming of you all today"
An imagined dialogue where the loved one greets the speaker, reinforcing the connection.
Now i hear you and you're breathing in and out
Perceiving the loved one's presence through the sound of breathing over the phone, emphasizing the technological connection.
over wires and cords, cause they make me want you all the more
Reiterating the impact of wires and cords in enhancing the desire for the absent loved one.
Right now, this machine's cold, my baby is not home
Repeating the cold state of the machine and the absence of the loved one.
And i know her phone will just ring on that table
Anticipating the phone's lack of activity in the absence of the loved one.
I say hello, my baby are you at home?
Initiating a conversation with the absent loved one, acknowledging their wandering nature.
I know you're a rolling stone
Acknowledging the loved one as a free spirit or adventurer.
But when in the forest beware of tigers please
Offering advice to the loved one to be cautious in their explorations, using a metaphor involving tigers in the forest.
i hate your code-a-phone, while you are exploring your new jungle home
Expressing dislike for the loved one's voicemail (code-a-phone) while they explore new experiences.
remember rule 1 beware at all times
Reiterating the need for caution in new experiences as a general rule.
let those satellites talk
Repeating the initial desire for communication through satellites.
And they will repeat what i say to you
Reiteration of satellites repeating messages for a sense of closeness.
so that it doesn't feel like we're so far away
Emphasizing the intention to bridge the emotional distance through technology.
from hearing each other scream out
Reiterating the challenge of expressing emotions through wires and cords.
over every wire and cord 'cause they make me want you all the more
Highlighting the intensified desire caused by the technological connection.
And now this machine's cold, my baby is not home
Repeating the current state of the machine and the absence of the loved one.
And i know her phone will just ring on that table
Anticipating the phone's lack of activity in the absence of the loved one, echoing the earlier lines.
