Satellite (Chicago Typewriter OST)

Saltnpaper's 'Satellite (Chicago Typewriter OST)' is a hauntingly beautiful song that delves into themes of love, loss, and the enduring connections that transcend time and space. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey through emotional and physical landscapes, where the protagonist is walking through mysteries and mazes, symbolizing the complexities and uncertainties of life and relationships. The recurring motif of a 'satellite love' suggests a love that orbits around the central figures, always present but often distant, much like a satellite in space.

The song's melancholic tone is underscored by the imagery of lights going out and the protagonist hearing a lullaby, which evokes a sense of longing and nostalgia. The lullaby represents a comforting presence, perhaps a memory or a voice from the past, guiding the protagonist through their journey. The lyrics 'Don’t wanna say goodbye, I wanna hear your voices in dreams' highlight the desire to hold onto these connections, even if they can only be experienced in dreams or memories.

The chorus, with its repeated plea 'Say I will,' reflects a yearning for affirmation and the hope that the bonds of love and shared experiences ('hourglass stories') will endure despite the passage of time. The metaphor of the hourglass emphasizes the fleeting nature of time and the precious moments shared between the lovers. The song's title and refrain, 'Satellite love,' encapsulate the idea of a love that, despite its distance and the challenges it faces, remains a guiding force, much like a satellite that orbits and connects distant points in space.
