Versions

Satellite

This is the only known version. Opening into the first verse, quiet, low-register vocals layer behind a danceable beat loop surrounded by atmospheric synthesizers. Echoing distorted guitars break up parts of the multiple verses, then cover the background of the track during the chorus, which is mostly built on the differing lyrics and vocal layering. The coda of the track augments these elements with jangling guitar reminiscent of The Fragile and, prominently, a bassline backed by 'swarm' guitar layering that changes the mood of the track into something more mysterious and sinister. As layers build, the song gives out to several of the ambient layers and vocals only, fading out all the way.

Lyrics

  (May not be correct)
  Data trails 
  Like fingernails 
  Scratch across
  The sky
  
  Hard to know
  Figure out
  Tell the truth
  From lies
  
  Everywhere
  Listening
  Every word
  You say
  
  Think I found
  A way around
  Yeah think I found
  A way
  
  Well come on
  Come on
  Come on
  Come on
  
  Come on
  
  Satellite
  I'm watching you
  I'm one step
  Ahead
  
  Satellite
  I'm part of you
  I'm inside
  Your head
  
  Yes we can
  Yes we did
  Just emanate
  We spread
  
  Better watch
  What you think
  What was that
  You said
  
  Everywhere
  And everything
  And every word
  You say
  
  Think about
  A way around
  Yeah think about
  A way
  
  Satellite
  I'm watching you
  I'm one step
  Ahead
  
  Satellite
  I'm part of you
  I'm inside
  Your head
  
  Satellite
  I'm watching you
  I'm one step
  Ahead
  
  Satellite
  I'm part of you
  I'm inside
  Your head
  
  Satellite
  
  I know you're up there somewhere
  
  So very high
