"Transatlantic" by Starship is a love song about the distance between two people who are separated by 3000 miles across the sea. The singer is stuck in their state and must communicate their love through unique means. They try to send their message through ESP and hope to find and beam their frequency to their lover. The lyrics express the frustration and desperation that comes with long-distance relationships. The singer is going crazy without their partner and is willing to try anything to reach them. They send an S.O.S message in distress and close their eyes, hoping for a reply. The song also highlights the advancements in technology and the limitations it still has in connecting people. The singer acknowledges that no phone, radio, telegram, transistor tube, or microchip can bring them closer to their lover's lips. Overall, "Transatlantic" is a tribute to the power of love that can overcome any distance and the lengths we will go to be with the ones we love.
