about

Orbit is a love song. Or at least I’d argue on its behalf! Though I suppose it’s really about the selfishness that is required for an artist to chase such an ill-fated pursuit with such single minded obsession as is needed for fame and success in this industry. Knowing that the hours dedicated to the craft, to being on the road ultimately disrupt (and, potentially, unravel) meaningful relationships outside of music. Like a loved one. I argue this is a love song because its self awareness of its selfishness makes the sting of love that much more present. Musically, this is a big, hulking blues-rock song, dyed to the bone.

lyrics

I don’t know what the meaning of the word is
But it seems like I hurt you
I don’t know what the meaning of your life is
But it seems like it’s worth it
I don’t know where we’re all gonna go
But I like it right here
I don’t know who you’ve left to hold
‘Cause in a minute I’ll disappear

Too much time on the road from you
Too much time for me
To be alone with my enemy
Well I'm saying

I know it’s taken all the others
I know it’s probably gonna take me, too
I know it’s taking me further away
From your orbit
I know it’s selfish and it’s ugly
I know that there’s nothing I can do
I know it’s taking me further away
Away from you

I don’t know why the wind blows
And messes up your long, brown hair
I don’t know why we don't say nothing
When all the words are right there
I don’t know who the fuck I am
But I can see that you
You don’t care

Too much time on the road from you
Too much time for me
To be alone with my enemy
Well I'm saying

I know it’s taken all the others
I know it’s probably gonna take me, too
I know it’s taking me further away
From your orbit
I know it’s selfish and it’s ugly
I know that there’s nothing I can do
I know it’s taking me further away
Away from you

From you
Oh, from you
Oh, from you
Away from you

Too much time on the road from you
Too much time for me
To be alone with my enemy
Well I'm saying

I know it’s taken all the others
I know it’s probably gonna take me, too
I know it’s taking me further away
From your orbit
I know it’s selfish and it’s ugly
I know that there’s nothing I can do
I know it’s taking me further away
Away from you
