Satellite
Harry Styles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got a new life
Am I bothering you?
Do you wanna talk?

We share the last line
Then we drink the wall
'Til we wanna talk
I go 'round and 'round
Satellite

Spinning out, waiting for ya to pull me in
I can see you're lonely down there
Don't you know that I am right here?

Spinning out, waiting for ya to pull me in
I can see you're lonely down there
Don't you know that I am right here?

(Spinning out, waiting for ya)

I'm in an L.A. Mood
I don't wanna talk to you
She said, "Give me a day or two"

I go 'round and 'round
Satellite

Spinning out, waiting for ya to pull me in
I can see you're lonely down there
Don't you know that I am right here?

Spinning out, waiting for ya to pull me in
I can see you're lonely down there
Don't you know that I am right here?

Right here, right here
Spinning out, waiting for ya
I'm here, right here
Wishing I could be there for ya

Be there for ya
Be there for ya (for ya)
For ya
Be there for ya

Spinning out, waiting for ya to pull me in
(Spinning out, waiting)
I can see you're lonely down there
Don't you know that I am right here?

Spinning out, waiting for ya (for ya) to pull me in (for ya)
I can see you're lonely down there
Don't you know that I am right here?

Spinning out, waiting for ya (for ya) to pull me in (for ya)




I can see you're lonely down there
Don't you know that I am right here?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Harry Styles's song Satellite are about two people who are no longer together but seem to be struggling with their separation. The first verse suggests that one person has moved on and started a new life, while the other is feeling left behind and lonely. The singer asks if they can talk, but the other person seems hesitant, and they end up drinking to avoid the conversation. The chorus highlights the singer's feelings of being caught in a cycle, circling around like a satellite, and waiting for the other person to reach out and bring them back in.


The second verse introduces a new character, "she," who the singer is not interested in talking to. They end up in the same cycle of waiting, circling, and watching from afar. Despite feeling helpless and far away, the singer wishes they could be there for the person they still care about.


Overall, the song captures the feeling of being stuck in a pattern of waiting and watching, hoping for things to change but feeling powerless. It touches on themes of loneliness, separation, and unrequited love.
