Lyrics:

Orion, you hang Over my house And I can't help But notice You're upon me now With a wasted stretch Of silhouette And a taste of blood You can't forget I'm losing my mind For the second time Please guide me I'm travellin' And I can't seem to find Where I belong Or where I came from Look out to Pisces And I smell something's wrong What is this place That I've landed into How did I get here Something ain't right Suspended in the wrong space I'm lost searching for your face In the dark I know so well On the hunt, pick up the pace Orion, you loom Over me now And I can't help But notice You're staring me down With a wasted stretch Of silhouette And the taste for blood You won't forget I'm plotting to seige Your thunder and trees I've still got nowhere to go So I guess up will be home It won't dare to ask please Get up off your knees I'm still stuck in the deep But I think that I can see out What is this place That I can't seem to shake For goodness sake I don't recall seeing you Suspended in the wrong space I'm lost searching for your face This feels just like a nightmare Hoping and praying 'Cause I sense something is out there Orion, you've leapt Over me now And I can't help But notice You've loosened your belt With a wasted stretch Of silhouette And a Misses Out to get Don't fight me on this Like you always do We woke up on the grass To some orange and blue hue And when we're running with wolves I know she knows that deep inside I've got her through the worst of it What is this place?

Story:

I wrote this song as an exploration of my own feelings of disorientation and confusion. The lyrics describe a sense of being lost and searching for a sense of belonging, with references to the stars and constellations as a way of framing this search. The repeated references to Orion and Pisces emphasize the feeling of being adrift in a vast and unfamiliar universe, with a sense that something is not quite right. The repeated lines of "Suspended in the wrong space" suggest a feeling of being out of place and disconnected from the world around me. The second verse speaks to the desire to find a sense of home and belonging, with references to "thunder and trees" and a sense of plotting to seize control of my own destiny. The repeated lines of "I'm lost searching for your face" continue to emphasize the feeling of disorientation and confusion. The final verse shifts to a more hopeful tone, with references to waking up on the grass and running with wolves. The repeated lines of "What is this place?" suggest that the search for meaning and connection is an ongoing journey, but one that is ultimately worth pursuing. Overall, the song is a deeply personal reflection on my own struggles with identity and belonging, and the desire to find a sense of purpose and meaning in a world that can often feel overwhelming and confusing.
