The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Burning Satellites" by the artist "We As Human"

Contents

The song "Burning Satellites" by We As Human is an accusatory anthem directed at a hypocritical and selfish individual or institution that hides behind a mask of piety, exploiting and ignoring the suffering of others.

The "you" in the song personifies hypocrisy: a luxurious life ("dressed to the nines") contrasts with the suffering of the poor ("tears of the poor"). "Praying through their television screens" hints at ostentatious religiosity, and the phrase "laughing as the tears of the poor stream from their eyes" emphasizes callousness and indifference to the grief of others.

"Dirty dog," "son of man" are accusatory metaphors that criticize moral decay and attachment to earthly sins ("selfish sins"). "Violence against the word of God" points to the distortion and manipulation of religious doctrines to suit one's own interests.

"Burning satellites" symbolize the collapse of lies and deceit. Satellites, as tools of communication and observation, are associated with control and propaganda. Their fall signifies the collapse of the old world order, the exposure of lies, and the triumph of truth ("soon everyone will see").

The song expresses hope for divine intervention ("May God help the veil fall from their eyes"), which will open people's eyes to the true nature of the hypocritical "you." "Falling" and "burning" are repeated like a mantra, emphasizing the inevitability of reckoning and purification.

Look at you standing there so selfishly,

Dressed to the nines,

You look divine,

You plead with people through their television screens,

And laugh as bankrupt tears fall from their eyes,

How do you sleep at night, how do you sleep at night?

[Chorus:]

You filthy dogs,

You sons of men,

You will not stand there in the end,

And rape the word of God,

To feed your selfish sins,

But you can change,

There is still time,

God help the scales fall from their eyes,

And haste the day when we see burning satellites

Your words are death inside a darken box,

But we're poking holes one at a time,

And though you try to fight soon everyone will see,

When all your wicked games are brought to light,

And all those tears they cry,

Will then fall from your eyes

[Chorus:]

You filthy dogs,

You sons of men,

You will not stand there in the end,

And rape the word of God,

To feed your selfish sins,

But you can change,

There is still time,

God help the scales fall from their eyes,

And haste the day when we see burning satellites

You filthy dogs,

You sons of men,

You will not stand there in the end,

And rape the word of God,

To feed your selfish sins,

But you can change,

There is still time,

God help the scales fall from their eyes,

And haste the day when we see burning satellites

I can see them falling,

Falling down,

I can see them falling,

They're falling down,

I can see them falling,

They're falling down,

I can see them falling,

Burning
