IN_D.

I've been writing music most of my life. Songs have always been the place where I've sorted out the events of day. If you trace these songs back far enough they tell a story of where I've been and what I've seen along the way. That said, most people don't have the time to sort through the hundreds of songs that have collected in the wake of my 20 plus years behind a piano, and that's why I love "Cecilia and the Satellite". As a song it encapsulate so much living against the back drop of a new life. Cecilia was written with the knowledge that my wife and I would soon meet our first child. With the hope of avoiding territory this type of song often treads, I tried to create a road map of the life I had lived leading up to that moment. One my daughter might look back on some day. A strange life of constant motion, spent traveling in the pursuit of music. A life I’ve nearly lost on more than one occasion and one which I am thankful for, now more than ever. Deep down this song is about more than me and where I’ve been, it’s about more than my daughter and what I want for her. It’s about being proud of where you come from and wanting the most for the people you share your world with.

LYRICS
I’ve locked myself in a hotel room
Then waited all night for the walls to move
I've loved some girls that I barely knew
I’ve made some friends, and I’ve lost some too
 
Crashed my car, I was seventeen
My mother in the seat riding next to me
The things I’ve learned from a broken mirror
How a face can change when a heart knows fear
 
For all the things my eyes have seen, the best by far is you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
Oh, Oh
 
I've café crawled through Amsterdam
Been around the world with a punk rock band
And I’ve seen London, and I’ve played Japan
I’ve been knocked down, I got up again
 
For all the places I have been, I’m no place without you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
Oh, Oh
I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
And you’re the sky
I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
And you’re the sky


Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness

Cecilia And The Satellite

Lyrics:

(Intro)
I was cast away,
A sinner born in flames,
No soul to save,
The Devil knows my name.

(Verse 1)
I walk alone, in the shadow's breath,
No light to guide, just a trail of death.
Forgotten child, from the depths of night,
The Devil’s reject, I embrace the fight.

(Chorus)
The Devil’s reject, I rise and fall,
The outcast spirit, I’ve lost it all.
The Devil’s reject, the flames I feed,
No Heaven's mercy, just Hell’s dark seed.

(Verse 2)
Chains of fire, wrapped around my soul,
A broken sinner, out of control.
No gods, no saints, no rules to obey,
I’ve burned my bridges, I’ve gone astray.

(Chorus)
The Devil’s reject, I rise and fall,
The outcast spirit, I’ve lost it all.
The Devil’s reject, the flames I feed,
No Heaven's mercy, just Hell’s dark seed.

(Bridge)
I’m not the hero, I’m not the saint,
I’m just the shadow, the blood in the paint.
Born in the ashes, I stand defiled,
The Devil’s reject, his broken child.

(Chorus)
The Devil’s reject, I rise and fall,
The outcast spirit, I’ve lost it all.
The Devil’s reject, the flames I feed,
No Heaven's mercy, just Hell’s dark seed.

(Outro)
I fade to black, no tears to cry,
The Devil's reject, I was born to die.
The Devil’s reject, forever cursed,
A life forsaken, in Hell, I’m immersed.

The Devil’s reject... and I feel no pain.
