Lyrics

Stranded Satellite

I've got my troubles They're waiting back at home Up in this bubble I tend to make my own This tilted orbit Dull as a sedative Someone write my obit Hope he's happy where he's headed

It's a white rabbit Stranded satellite It's a parlor trick Stranded satellite I'm so full of shit Stranded satellite

I'm up here every night and I'm feeling less enlightened What was it I was fighting?

I've been abandoned I do it to myself I've got this habit Of making heaven hell This floating flophouse Keeping me gone too long Someone tell my spouse I love her more than Major Tom did

No, I don't think she knows Stranded satellite In a gilded cage Stranded satellite In a rolling grave Stranded satellite

I'm up here every night and I'm feeling less enlightened What was it I was fighting?

I'm feeling distant You're half a world away These bad decisions Solidified my fate I miss you dearly But I'm not coming home Yeah, this life is dreary It's the only life I know

I've got my troubles They're waiting back at home Up in this bubble I tend to make my own This tilted orbit Dull as a sedative Someone write my obit Hope he's happy where he's headed

From Dork

Cursive on Dork

Cursive have shared ‘Wounded Animal’ from Tim Kasher’s ‘Who’s Watching’ soundtrack

Cursive’s first new music since 2024’s ‘Devourer’ appears on the soundtrack to frontman Tim Kasher’s psychological thriller.

Cursive - Devourer

'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.

No genre, no problem: Cursive's decades-long musical defiance

For nearly 30 years, Tim Kasher and co. have challenged genre conventions, keeping Cursive's sound fiercely unpredictable.

Cursive: "When I'm wagging the finger at others, I'm also wagging the finger at myself"

Indie-rock stalwarts Cursive are back with their first album in six years. With society falling apart around us, it's a suitably vitriolic reaction to the state of the world.
