Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite
did we squander the chance
in the rush of the race
the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of man's greatest adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite
have we lost what it takes to advance?
have we peaked too soon?
if the world is so green
then why does it scream under a blue moon
we wonder why
If the earth's sacrificed
for the price of it's greatest treasure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite
and when we shoot for the stars
what a giant step
have we got what it takes
to carry the weight of this concept
or pass it by like a shot in the dark
miss the mark with a sense of adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight
blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite
The lyrics of DJ Cobra feat. Tasmin Archer's song Sleeping Satellite convey a sense of blame and disappointment towards someone who may have been responsible for the failure of man's greatest adventure - the exploration of space. The moonlit sky becomes a metaphor for the hope and dreams that died with the eagles' (astronauts) flight, and the moonlit nights symbolize the unanswered questions that still haunt the singer. He wonders why the seas are still dry, implying that despite all the technological advancements, we haven't yet found a way to solve the world's problems.
The song also questions the motives behind the space race and whether it was all just a rush of the race, lost in romance. The real reason for chasing the stars seems to be lost, and we're left trying to justify the waste, looking for a taste of man's greatest adventure. The singer believes that we might have squandered our chance by reaching the moon too soon and peaked too early, which is why we're still struggling to advance and solve problems like climate change.
Overall, Sleeping Satellite is a reflective song about humankind's ambition and the challenges we face in advancing ourselves. It also highlights the importance of pursuing our dreams and not letting anyone discourage us from reaching for the stars.

don't blame this sleeping satellite
but don't hold accountable the satellite floating idly in its slumber
did we fly to the moon too soon, did we squander the chance
Perhaps our journey to the moon was premature, and we missed an opportunity
in the rush of the race the reason we chase is lost in romance
In our haste to achieve our goal, we may have lost sight of our true purpose and let passion guide us
and still we try to justify the waste for a taste of man's greatest adventure
Yet we persist in finding ways to justify the costs incurred in pursuit of our greatest adventure
have we lost what it takes to advance?
Have we as humans lost the drive and capability to progress?
have we peaked too soon?
Did we reach the pinnacle of our potential too early?
if the world is so green then why does it scream under a blue moon
If the Earth is teeming with life, then why does it appear to be in so much pain and distress at times, even under the serene blue light of the moon?
we wonder why if the earth's sacrificed for the price of it's greatest treasure
We often wonder whether the cost of achieving our greatest accomplishments is worth the sacrifices we make, especially when it comes at the expense of our environment
and when we shoot for the stars what a giant step have we got what it takes to carry the weight of this concept
As we set our sights on the vast expanse of the universe, we must ask ourselves if we are truly equipped to handle the immense responsibility that comes with it
or pass it by like a shot in the dark miss the mark with a sense of adventure
Or will we simply take a chance, hoping to hit our target despite the uncertainty and risk, buoyed by the thrill of adventure
don't blame this sleeping satellite
In the end, we cannot blame the silent, dormant satellite for the challenges and uncertainties we face as we continue to explore and discover the mysteries of the universe
