Via Satellite's lyrics are clear-eyed about life's ebbs and flows includiing romantic breakdowns, changes of geographical scenery and unexpected emotional fissures and the leaps of faith people take in order to pursuue happiness. As always, words come courtesy of both Solem and Wilde. The former penned the melancholy "Broken Toy" ("Which is definitely about the end of a relationship"), although he says his lyrical contributions tend to be more observational: "Most of the other stuff coming out of me was just how I look at the world." Wilde concurs. "Phil's a quirky guy he's thee guy that comes up with the crazy lyrics and, you know, borderline genius stuff. I'm more the romantic in the band, and I write more relationship stuff. It's just my comfort zone. He helps me with that, and I help him with that, and then we come up with a Rembrandts song."
