About This Track

'Stellate' by Samia is a 2020 song from the album 'The Baby'. The lyrics cast intimacy as something possessive and transactional, with a speaker insisting on care while describing control and compromise. The refrain-like chatter, “How about that?”, sits alongside images of being held, effects that are meant to soothe, and a pull towards repeating the past. The song also moves through domestic gestures, like playing records, as if affection were rehearsed through objects and routines.

"Stellate" is a track by Samia, from the album The Baby, released 27th August 2020. The track is 4:10 long. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 17 articles about Samia.

Lyrics

Stellate

I'll hold you from your small
How about that? How about that?
You made me medium tall
I'll make you feel good again
You made your car a vacuum
You pulled over too
So when you let me out
I owed my life to you
I wanna get you sedated
Like when it all began
I wanna play you records I like
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna let it all go
I swear, I swear I do
Show me where you are stellate
I'll stick the needle through
You know it
But I can say it for you
You know it
But I can say it for you
You know it
But I can say it for you
You know it
But I can say it for you
And when the heat showed up
You couldn't open the door
I locked myself in
And laid down on the kitchen floor
I put one of your vellum between my face and yours
So through the vellum you'd discern my face from yours
You know it
But I can say it for you
You know it
But I can say it for you
You know it
But I can say it for you
You know it
But I can say it for you
I wanna wake you up
Show you the boat I bought
I wanna go sailing with you to someplace we are not
You buy me a big bucket
I scream into that
And when it overflows
You want your money back
You know it
But I can say it for you
You know it
But I can say it for you
You know it
But I can say it for you
You know it
But I can say it for you

    How ‘Surrender’ turned Maggie Rogers’ live show into a space for feral joy

    Maggie Rogers’ 2022 album did more than add bigger songs to her set: at Brighton Dome, its restless emotional range gave a six-piece band room to stretch, snap and find hope without pretending the outside world had gone away.
