Anyway there's a cute thinkpiece in comparing "Satellite of Love" and "Satellites": Reed's conflicted utopianism filling space up with human banality and emotion, and EMA looking back on the collective efforts of the 60s that filled space up with something - 2,3,4,5 thousand of them that aren't parking cars on Mars because cars would contain humans, or at least brought humans somewhere, and we haven't gone at all, we're still looking up at the satellites that have left us behind.

Also the use of repetition in the lyrics etc. tbh a lot of what I'm responding to is just coincidental stylistic similarity.
