[@adskelso8398]

My favourite song changes every time I listen to the album lol. I can't decide

[@battmarn]

I’ll admit I didn’t really pay much attention to the lyrics the first time round, but having actually read them this song’s message is so important. Love it

[@aliiicimo]

I wish I could send this song to my teenage self and say “what you’re feeling right now is completely normal that you will begin to get over after years of taught & internalised homophobia, please don’t worry so much about what people think”. This is literally so poignant I’m close to crying about my sexuality for the first time in about 5 years, especially the line “Surely, my friends and family, my god and my ends, they cannot all be wrong, so I play along.” Idk how Rou managed to sum up the feelings so well when they aren’t even his feelings and he was instead being empathetic towards his friend but it’s masterful.

[@latinoheat74]

because the man is a literal genius, he is so in touch with the here and now

[@SJ-ik8zr]

I dont know whether this poignant but you are normal

[@saephon3988]

Songs like this are the masterful work of empathy. Like Rou, I'm a straight male - but my heart aches when I think about someone being told they're wrong for being who they are. I'm glad you're able to feel some sort of acceptance and catharsis from this track :)

[@aliiicimo]

Simo Jokinen thank you

[@aliiicimo]

Justin DiMatteo Yep, the level of empathy in this track and also in his discussions about it. Like I’ve seen some songs written by LGBT+ people who are still scared to talk about the song being about LGBT+’ness and yet, here he is. So open and honest about it. Thank you for your kind words too!

[@Sxcheschka]

This album is incredible rinsed it today. Love the use of wind and string intruments on a couple of the songs, but most of all being in this strange and uncertain time we are in this put a big smile on me face from start to finish; thanks enter shikari.

[@jackryanmiller]

Without meaning to sound like I’m exaggerating, this might just be the best song I’ve ever heard.

[@weaponx100]

Jack Miller Good but I’ve heard way way better from them!

[@tonytomato100]

@Fraser I really like Torn Apart, Arguing With Thermometers, and Shinrin Yoko. My top 3 from them Rn, all very different Oh and Anything Can Happen in the Next 30 Minutes is right up there

[@Unicornmayo4]

Definitely a rave song but there's so many great enter shikari song's so hard to pick

[@penisman594]

@Fraser ghandi mate, the feast, and stalemate to add to that. stalemate doesn't have that hardcore rave or metal to most ES songs but it's still a great track

[@Gillpradi]

I can agree, holy shit

[@Blablarrr]

This song is incredibly beautiful. I dont care about anyones sexuality, since we are all simply human. And i think this song shows how wanting to be nothing but what all of us are, is nothing but human.

[@hi00118]

I first became a fan of Enter Shikari just after AFFOC came out. Out of all their albums which were ever “new” since then, I think I’m enjoying this one the most. I’m loving it more than my first listens of AFFOC, The Mindsweep, or The Spark

[@markbaker465]

I used to like them until they started getting politic--- Ahahaha I can't even finish that! Can you imagine?! Incredible that those people actually exist.

[@SJ-ik8zr]

Mate it's the same shit as when patriotic Americans play Born In The USA unironically as patriotic song. Some people are so dense that they like songs on a superficial level but never think about what the songs represent. Enter Shikari, how I see it, has been political and activist from day one and if someone missed that, I reckon they weren't paying attention and liked just the tunes

[@Sky-nq9pw]

hahah Non political E:S is just not them

[@Akira-le3ws]

Thank you so, so much for this song and all your wonderful music. I didn't think I'd click with this album to this extent, but this song in particular really just blew me away and came at a perfect time in my life. These lyrics hit me so hard, as someone struggling with his sexuality after thinking I had it all figured out. Genuinely heart wrenching, but it was long needed. Looking forward to hearing it live, yeah?

[@dearMxDaring]

I've been there, too! I know it's confusing and maybe seems scary, but you can take all the time you need to figure this out. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. Take care.

[@julianvaldenebro4312]

this makes me so happy

[@thalix582]

I've been listening to this song for a while now, but I just now looked up the lyrics for the first time. After realising what this song is about, I immediately started crying. I'm queer myself, and this just hit home. Thank you, Enter shikari, for this masterpiece!!

[@anonymousxaela761]

I've loved Shikari for so many years now, they've been such a big part of my life and have inspired me in countless ways. I came out to close friends last year as transgender, and hearing Satellites has given me a whole new level of appreciation for the band. I'm terrified of going public with who I am, and how I want to portray myself, and hearing Rou sing these words has resonated with me deeply - God fucking damn, I can't even begin to express through words how much I adore them. I hope they keep up the good fight for years to come.

[@cloenobody]

these lyrics hit me so hard too, im crying

[@CookiiMx]

I relate much to what you say. I'm openly non-binary (Assigned male at birth), but it's still really scary at times when meeting new people. But the fact that my favorite band of like 9 years made a song for us, it made me so happy, and made me feel the love they have for us. Be who you are, everyone who judges you suck, you are worth so much more. Much love, friend

[@sylvainemaple8098]

As a trans girl in a relationship at the moment, it's amazing how much the song hits the mark for how it feels. That fear of wanting to go out somewhere with the love of my life and experience the beauties of the world, but not knowing how society is going to treat us. By experience alone, this beats out Undercover Agents as my favorite song from Enter Shikari, honestly. By the way - and by no obligation at all - if you're on the Aether DC, I have a character on Jenova under the same name I have here if you want to to talk about personal experiences.

Lol if you think people listen to music Only if it fits their political ideologies, then you are pretty dumb. For example I listen to songs from commies bands from the Soviet era. But I am not a communist. I know a couple neo nazi guys who listen to far left punk rock bands.. And so on...

@@hi00118 And I told you that this song is not gonna stop any homophobe because people don't listen to songs because of the lyrics, but because of how the song sounds. Otherwise, pop songs and rap wouldn't be popular. You think people actually listen to the words in the songs? No, they don't.

So I listened to the new album on Spotify recently for the first time. It might take me a few more listens in full to appreciate the album in it's entirety and I wasn't really feeling some of the tracks to be honest, but this song is not only by far the standout track on the album in my opinion, but one of the finest songs Shikari have ever came out with. I have been playing it on repeat almost non-stop and I'm sure seeing it live would be awesome. I am straight but the message on this track is so important. Love is universal no matter who you are... I am so proud of this band and I have been following them ever since the Take to the Skies days way back in 2007. This band continues to evolve with each album... well done boys. Enter Shikari for life!
