I have a lot of feelings about satellites* * and the extreme relatability to the lgbt experience. Hear me out as I proceed to probably talk absolute shite
âI don& #39;t like the limelight //
So we don& #39;t hold hands in daylightâ
Ah yes. The closeted lover. Not wanting to draw attention to urself in public so u donât get hatecrimed (but also in this context maybe also not wanting media attention and people prying into ur private life)

âI still drag the closet
All my limbs, they ache insideâ
Closet. This line doesnât need any further explanation. But clearly the pain is from dragging it for so long

âAnd surely all my family and my friends // My god and my ends // They cannot all be wrong // So I play alongâ
Gotta Love Living In A Heteronormative And Homophobic Society !

âWe refrain from touch // We are satellites // In a cosmic dance // Amongst the northern lightsâ
God these lines are so fucking beautiful and so fucking sad. Not being able to show ur love for someone is so painful

âAnd we orbit fast // But I wish we could collide // I& #39;m sick of concealing // I& #39;m sick of the feeling // I no longer want to hideâ
Sorry I canât add thoughtful commentary anymore bc Iâm too busy WEEPING

There are more lyrics between but the next poignant part is âNow online they discuss // Whether I exist // And in the court they decide // Who I can kissâ.
Definitely a dig at virulent online and legislative homophobia.

Idk if this is just my gay saturated brain but I canât think of any other context for this song. @RouReynolds satellites* * is beautiful and heartbreaking and whether you personally relate to it or not is ur story to tell but I just wanna thank you for it nonetheless.
