This song reminds me of a girl I knew. I guess I still do, but not in the same way. She went through some serious trauma as a teen, and she compensated by studying really hard and basically just working herself insane to avoid her problems (We're such crazy babies, little monkey
We're so fucked up, you and me
). Eventually, her body broke down and she was put in the hospital for an eating disorder after a bad break-up (Shot down in pieces). It was right about this time that I met her (Maybe I slipped in between), when she had come home from school barely alive for the holidays (why'd you come home to this faithless town?). She was so far away from really facing what was going on in her life, and all I could do was poke at the surface and try to help (Till they see themselves in telescopes/Hey listen, do you see yourself in me?) I think the line that really describes the view from the outside looking in was, She sees shooting stars and comet tails/She's got heaven in her eyes/She says I don't need to be an angel/But I'm nothing if I'm not this high. I still keep in touch with her, because she I guess she was everybody's satellite now, circling and circling but never really touching down. And it wasn't a lifetime commitment I could make, and I guess she wasn't my satellite for long at all. But I still hope, someday, she comes down on someone and can be happy and content again.
