[Part I]
[Intro: Future]
Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)
Put on my chains, now she think she me or sum’
She keep a Glock in her bag, she think …

You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…

I’ve just met a girl named Maria

What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …

Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette

Try to brush it off my …
Time’s gone inside out
Time gets distorted with
This intense gravity1
I don’t got time for holy rollers2
But then they wash my feet3
And I won’t be their soldier4
There’s intense gravity
Yeah, there’s intense gravity5
I’m just your satellite6
I’m just your satellite
Ooh, and I know that time’s gone inside out
And now it’s only like we told you
Hm, oh then they wash my feet7
They do not make me complete8
Break out a character for me9
Time keeps on going when
We got nothing else to give10
We got nothing else to give
Ooh, ’cause our time’s gone inside out
I don’t make time for holy rollers
Hm, there’s only you I need
They do not make me complete11
Spoon sings about the relationship between time and physics as a way of discussing the “facts of life.”
“Holy rollers” are those people of Christian sects notorious for “shoving religion down others’ throats.” Spoon contrasts such people with the facts of reality, suggesting that holy rollers aren’t in touch with what is going on around them.
Spoon notes the conflicting feelings one has when an aforementioned “holy roller” performs a humble task out of love for others.
Spoon makes the assertion that those who join aggressive religious sects are just servants of ideology.
Spoon redirects the focus from religion to the facts of reality.
“I’m just your satellite” means “there is no transcendent meaning to the reason I am here. I am simply here because science has enabled me to be here.”
Religious people try to give meaning to the lives of others.
Spoon is not satisfied by simple religious beliefs.
Spoon understands holy rollers to be inauthentic people.
When our sense of purpose has depleted and deeper meaning seems fleeting, life continues nonetheless.
Spoon sings this song about not being satisfied with religious ideology and answers to life’s questions.
