Bilal - Satellites Lyrics






Just another day
In another life
On the satellite
Watching the world
Watch people as they
Do what they do to people

So what did we do?
And what can we do?
And how did this happen?
‘cause it's not what I remember
When I left you from the other time
No, it's not what I remember
Should have never opened up your eyes

[Chorus:]
So what did we do?
And what can we do?
And how did this happen?
(hooohhh!) why the hell did I get you high?
I believe in this love
Why the hell did I let you?
Why the hell did I get you?

Just another day
On the satellite, time traveling
Watching the corrupt people
As they corrupt other people

[Chorus:]
So what did we do?
And what can we do?
And how did this happen?
(hooohhh!) why the hell did I get you high?
I believe in this love
Why the hell did I let you?
Why the hell did I get you?

Just another day
On the satellite, time traveling
Watching the corrupt people
As they corrupt other people

So what did we do?
And what can we do?
And how did this happen?
Ohhh…. why the hell did I get you high?
I believe in this love
Why the hell did I let you?
Why the hell did I get you?
Ohhh…

Hiiiiiiiiiiigghhhhhh!!!!

Just another day
In another life
On the satellite
Watching the world
Watch people as they
Do what they do to people…

Bilal Satellites Comments
  1. T.... W....

    Classic..

  2. c.... m....

    Such a positive message too

  3. c.... m....

    Love it G town Reppin dope on another dope album🔥🔥🔥🔥Philly stand up!

  4. M.... B....

    I like how Bilal played a modern day Yahshua “ Jesus” in the video. The greats in the music industry are always so underrated.

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

    Man I love this music they took this away and replace real artist with superficial bullshit

  6. D.... M....

    I don't think I could ever get tired of listening to this man! His music just sets my soul free.

  7. N.... L....

    Bilal.....one of the last real Artist....and as you can see....he is an ARTIST!!

  8. s.... ....

    Best album of 2016 and 2017!

  9. L.... B....

    Hans + Bilal= Genius
    Bilal is totally underrated, but he's a true artist so it's OK if everyone doesn't get it as long as he's not compromising his authenticity. Been a fan so long!

  10. R.... J....

    sounds a bit like prince, this has a very Money Don't Matter 2 Night rhythm to it.

  11. j.... ....

    the wooly-pully onesie tho

  12. E.... M....

    Bilal is coming to my city to perform. I'm so ready for this..

  13. s.... ....

    19 people are lost

    s.... ....

    20 my Friend 20

  14. D.... B....

    Anderson Paak brought me here, what a great world I've found!

    D.... B....

    Daniel Betancourt Great World Indeed

  15. s.... l....

    So underrated! Great imagery, beautiful sound!

  16. T.... ....

    True Dopeness

  17. T.... ....

    smh bilal sounds like himself STOP trying to take people's creativity from them

    T.... ....

    TheLifemission Nothing wrong with saying he sounds like Prince. Considering how many people are on this planet, it isn't uncommon for two different people to have a similar voice to someone else! That doesn't take any credit from away from them :)

  18. A.... S....

    People that say that this remind them of Radiohead are people that never ever hear 80s Prince, Thom Yorke is the white Prince.

    A.... S....

    I can hear that. I can hear Prince too.

  19. S.... S....

    Reminds me of Brother From Another Planet

    S.... S....

    +Samantha Sethna Good reference.

  20. M.... G....

    genius...

  21. M.... ....

    I don't why this song has a slight Radiohead vibe to me. Am I the only one?

    M.... ....

    +Mela Kuieh I love Radiohead and heard a lot of it but still don't really find some similarities except for just musical tools used like rather melancholic mood and falsetto singing. However, these don't make it similar to Radiohead in my opinion, it still has some uniqueness because of the musicians involved and their styles.

    M.... ....

    Bilal's singing reminds me rather of Prince as mentioned in comments below, but not Thom Yorke.

    M.... ....

    I think, here it is quite similar to the music that they do Radiohead. But Bilal´s voice is It is totally different

    M.... ....

    bilal has been doing his thing for time now various & amazing influences this 1 darker than usual ( yes a lil radiohead starkness to this) a lil of late grest prince ( wich he has getting compared oi from word go /, he's also done some of the bettef tributes to the late genius / however he credits Mile Davis as 1 of his biggest influences !!! anyhow Kudos to this talent all his own

  22. R.... C....

    finally found someone who know how to sing! amazing!

    R.... C....

    Look for "Van Hunt" on YouTube also. Enjoy

  23. F.... M....

    He is an artist. I'm amazed with his talent.

  24. C.... L....

    He needs to write for prince

  25. K.... J....

    I love this song

  26. K.... J....

    Bilal's voice gives me chills

  27. M.... B....

    so sad i missed his show last night at my city D: great sound/feel/groove ay.

  28. p.... ....

    Bilal, In another life. Awesome album I play it everyday! I'm so fucken enjoying it>> Damn Bilal, Damn Bilal Damn Boy

  29. B.... r....

    I wish there were a Bilal next to me each time I go to an ATM...sighs....

  30. J.... X....

    I Love love love LOVE this!!!!!

  31. m.... ....

    I always felt like if Jesus returned he'd get done in like our late brothers (i.e. Eric Garner). Love the video concept, heart wrenching as it is. Also reminded me of Brother from another planet.

  32. c.... B....

    Great video Hans! I say a pic of an Elder, the Senator. A relative I am related to the Clintons in "LA." I'm interested in their genealogy, you look like him. Hit me up on FB. Under "Cardell Alejandro"

  33. M.... Y....

    Favorite track of that album is "Star Now".  Others I can't really get into.

  34. J.... Y....

    Album is incredible love every single track

  35. S.... T....

    My favorite song on the album.  He is on something major!

  36. D.... K....

    surprised no one noticed how much he sounds like Prince on this song

    D.... K....

    @Shotgun Tubman Seriously like every note he hits sounds identical to Prince's

    D.... K....

    within minutes of hearing this for the first time I thought Prince.

    D.... K....

    +kapone815 someone has to take the Prince reigns...that first half of that new Prince album is total garbage. The second half is excellent, about the time when Prince picks up the guitar.

    D.... K....

    Until 4:00 then he sounds a lot like H.R.

  37. S.... C....

    This video gives me chills

  38. D.... M....

    The music video is just as powerful as the song

  39. r.... ....

    Maaan, yall PLEASE support this man and get the album. I just got it and it is hitting the musical spot for me, driving around with this good music and singing & scatting at the top of my lungs lol. I got it after his show in VA and the live version of Lunatic was O_o EVERYTHING!!!

    I cannot express how happy I am with this man's music and his constant hi-energy growth; LOVE it. But let the independent artists win...go out and buy it NOW. Local wrecka stow. Amazon. iTunes. Whateva you got to do!

  40. B.... T....

    Can't expect everyone to understand greatness! I'm glad he's back. Just maybe the Most Overlooked artist ever...

  41. C.... B....

    Seems to be God or whatever higher power watching the world's people hurting each other saying that is not what I intended for you... saying i should have never opened your eyes.... while he walking looking at the sights of life's pain he stops.... "Lunatic" starts playing the cops start doing the same corrupt things to him because they don't understand and just see someone who is different & black... kill him without understanding making it seem justified from their perspective... Eric Garner. Brought tears to eyes. Deep. Just looking at headlines thinking what are people thinking to do what they are doing without empathy. Love it. Next time in Chicago, I'm there again.

  42. G.... R....

    Holy shit. It's like I just found gold.

  43. B.... D....

    Bilal The Great!

  44. b.... ....

    t stuff from a great artist....not that sad ass stuff they calling music on pop radio

  45. S.... ....

    I remember you live in concert years ago...glad you're doing well.

  46. K.... S....
