Rise Against - Satellite Lyrics






You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame
You have to cross the line just to remember where it lays
You won't know your worth now, son, until you take a hit
And you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it

[Chorus:]
That's why we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me

You can't fill your cup until you empty all it has
You can't understand what lays ahead
If you don't understand the past
You'll never learn to fly now
'Til you're standing at the cliff
And you can't truly love until you've given up on it

[Chorus:]
That's why we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me

She told me that she never could face the world again
So I offered up a plan

[2x]
We'll sneak out while they sleep
And sail off in the night.
We'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives.
When we're gone we'll stay gone.
Out of sight, out of mind.
It's not too late,
We have the rest of our lives.

The rest of our lives

[Chorus:]
Because we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
I'm passing over you like a satellite
So catch me if I fall
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American dream
So shine your light on me (shine your light on me)

No, we won't back down
We won't run and hide
Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny (shine your light on me)
I'm passing over you like a satellite
'Cause these are the things that we can't deny now
This is a life that you can't deny us now

    This Song gives me so much Strenght

  2. T.... E....

    I think I remember when I made a playlist for a long drive alone, it was pretty much every Rise Against song in a shuffle playlist, it took a bit of work to get it working how I wanted.


    Well... Fast forward 30 minutes into this amazing playlist I realised it only played the same 4 f**king songs at the start of the playlist, one must have bugged it out and it started the playlist again.


    I never realised until probably the fourth or fifth play of this damn song... THAT is how good they are, I can listen to the same song 5 times before I recognised i had done so....

  3. S.... U....

    Every tyme he says "son" I feel like a kid that needs to listen to what he has to say.

  4. R.... T....

    A song i forget about every single time. But the good thing is, i can explore it new everytime

  5. G.... J....

    To a heart or hearts
    that may read this,

    At this point in time I can urge you to save yourself but can't actual save you because that part you have to do yourself. If you want a better life you must start taking responsibility for what emotions you feel, for what thoughts you choose to live by and take responsibility for your actions. If you choose to say "they make me feel" or "that makes me feel" then those are statements of a man or women who chooses to be not responsible for what emotions they feel. To no longer to feel sadness you must take responsibility of why you choose to be sad and take action to develop a change in your life that helps you then feel like its appropriate to choose to feel happy.

    As well to choose to have compassion for all beings and no longer eat animal flesh and eat a vegan diet or a raw vegan diet can help you then choose to be happy, and, as well, is an action nesscary for you to live a life that will help you choose to be happy. Otherwise your choice to eat animal flesh will have a bad effect on your body that you may not understand at this moment which will result in great suffering for you and also for the animals you choose not to care for.

    Further more to decide you have the right to harm or others have the right to harm for you so that you may consume animal flesh will result in self condemnation. Unfortunately, if you eat animal flesh, you have been indoctrinated into a society that teaches you that killing is ok to do to some animals and even may have been indoctrinated that its okay to kill some humans. I hope my words were read by you and taken seriously and are incorporated into your daily life & I hope you organize a beautiful life for yourself and others.

    A letter,
    From a heart,
    Named Lee 💜

    P.S Please don't hate any one different than you. 🌈

    How to start a fight on the internet 2019


    Step 1: Post a comment
    Step 2: Wait...

  25. M.... C....

    I've begun listening Rise Against in 2006 when I've played NFS U2 the first time, and I am listening them nowadays. It's really great that EA used exactly Rise Against's song because they wouldn't be known by me otherwise.
    I am really happy to listen such mf great songs by such a mf great band. Almost no bands can be compared with you. Unfortunately you are not as popular as you should be :c

  26. B.... M....

    I like rise against as much as the next guy...but will someone explain this to me?
    He says in the lyrics "we stick to your game plan and party lights, but by night we conspire by candlelight"
    And..."we will sneak out while they sleep"
    But the chorus says " that's why we wont back down we wont run and hide".
    Am I the only one seeing the irony?
    Or am I missing something?
    Please explain.

    You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame
    You have to cross the line just to remember where it lays
    You won't know your worth now, son, until you take a hit
    And you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it
    That's why we won't back down
    We won't run and hide
    Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
    I'm passing over you like a satellite
    So catch me if I fall
    That's why you stick to your game plans and party lives
    But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
    We are the orphans of the American Dreams
    Oh shine your light on me
    You can't fill your cup until you empty all it has
    You can't understand what lays ahead
    If you don't understand the past
    You'll never learn the fun now
    'Til you're standing at the cliff
    And you cant truly love until you've given up on it
    That's why we won't back down
    We won't run and hide
    Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
    I'm passing over you like a satellite
    So catch me if I fall
    That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives
    But at night we're conspiring by candlelight

    It's not too late, we have the rest of our lives
    The rest of our lives
    Because we won't back down
    We won't run and hide
    Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny
    I'm passing over you like a satellite
    So catch me if I fall
    That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives
    But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
    We are the orphans of the American Dream
    So shine your light on me (shine your light on me)
    No we won't back down
    We won't run and hide
    Yeah, 'cause these are the things that we can't deny (shine your light on me)
    I'm passing over you like a satellite
    'Cause these are the things that we can't deny, no
    This is a life that you can't deny us now

  63. L.... A....

    RiseAgainst does not get enough popularity for how hard they work and how good there songs are.

    L.... A....

    No no no... Ariama Grande has much better songs with family friendly music vidreos and good wholesome themes.
    What you think acutal talent with minimal autotune and strong lirycs about highschool bullying and war being hell are better than 90% Autotuned half naked girl singing about "I want it, i got it"??
    Silly boy..

    L.... A....

    @WoodKid ummmm ok good meme i guessss but you just wasted like 5 minutes out of my day

    This video has been mostly shot in Montreal. The man you see at 0:07 is Denis Blanchette. He has been killed on September 4th 2012 at the exact same venue that Rise Against shot their video by a terrorist on the PQ victory's speech. RIP

    Millionaire band sings "we are the orphans of the American dream". LOL

    Just messing around, Rise Against is a fantastic band, even if their lyrics are completely detached from who they are.

    M.... ....

    He wasn't sing about himself and his band. He was referring to the country as a whole.

    We won't run and hide
    'Cause these are the things we can't deny
    I'm passing over you like a satellite
    So catch me if I fall
    That's why you stick to your game plans and party lives
    But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
    We are the orphans of the American dreams
    Oh shine your light on me
