Satellite
Lost Frequencies: Unraveling the Satellite's Quest
Lyrics
Thirty more channels than you need
There are more channels available than necessary
I could tune in free
Expresses the ability to access these channels freely
Some rabbit ears, some foil, and a hanger
Describes makeshift tools for improving TV reception
Static on channel 13 cleared, long enough for a scene.
Temporary absence of interference on a specific channel
A jet flew over head, and it faded.
A passing jet caused the interference to return
Couldn't find you any place upon my screen...
The inability to locate someone on television
Bought a satellite, bought a satellite, bought a satellite
Repetition emphasizes the purchase of a satellite
...Satellite
Reiteration of the word "Satellite" for emphasis
Dug up from the depths of old man sewers southern flow.
Refers to a discovery from underground, possibly unpleasant or forgotten
A boy I couldn't name, I knew well.
Recollection of a familiar but unnamed person
And still I render, useless to my call,
Despite efforts, unable to connect or reach out
You're nowhere to be found on the airwaves
Not appearing or being accessible through broadcast media
Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Repeats the frustration of not finding someone on TV
Bought a satellite, bought a satellite, bought a satellite
Repeated mention of purchasing a satellite
...Satellite
Emphasizes the concept of a satellite
So far from my reach
Expresses the distance from the desired object
Close enough to see
Despite the distance, the object is visible or perceivable
I sleep beside the set at night and I can't let you leave
Metaphorically sleeping next to the TV to stay close to the subject
Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Reiterates the frustration of not finding the subject on TV
Need to (spy???) and I'm coming for your love over there
Unclear phrase indicating the desire to pursue or capture love
Nothing along the ?????
Unclear phrase or missing lyrics
Nothing I want to see but your face
The only desired thing to see is the subject's face
Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Repetition of frustration in locating someone on TV
Bought a satellite (repeat)
Reiteration of purchasing a satellite
