[Intro]
I-I-I-I’ve been keepin’ to myself and stayin’ out the way
I’ve been always on my lonely ’cause I can’t change
I-I’ve been seein’ how they talkin’ and I’m outraged
I-I’ve been takin’ care …
Fuck your friendship, i don’t need your friendship
Then you go and take another, [?]
Fuck your friendship, i don’t need your friendship
Never saying what you want, now you’re saying i’m rude
Whatchu …
[Verse 1]
All roses, that you gave me when fought but babe you’re poison
Sorry if I speak my thoughts, I’m just fed up
Why you not?
I don’t know why I do this
Like …
[Intro]
(Ay, Benji, you know this one bangs, innit)
You’ll be playin’ “Red Light, Green Light”
Player 156, you have been eliminated (Yo)
(Yo, MacMac, relax)
Yo, yo
[Chorus]
(It was us that did it, it was …
[Verse 1]
I know we were broken by the words we never spoke until tonight
All the little things that we ignored and now we drag into the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Holdin’ back the river
Holdin’ …
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.
