The song "Satellite" by Harry Styles is about wanting to get closer to someone who seems to be holding back and putting themself at a distance. The refrain of "spinning out, waiting for you to pull me in" illustrates an eagerness to be close and a desire to be the one to reach out. The imagery of the satellite spinning around captures the idea of trying to come closer but constantly missing the connection, while also suggesting a longing for something greater where the two people could transcend their physical distance and bridge the gaps between them. The song speaks to the emotions of being stuck in a place of separation and longing for connection and closeness.
