Bobby briefly joined Snake River Conspiracy for a while, and Jay formed his own independent record label, D1 Music, with his father. In 2004, Orgy's third album, "Punk Statik Paranoia," was released under D1, but with little to no radio play or recognition from the mainstream music media.
Ryan and Amir have also started a side project known as Julien-K, with a much more electronic focus, and have released a song featuring the vocals of Chester Bennington of Linkin Park on the recent Underworld Evolution soundtrack. They have since formed the project Dead By Sunrise with Bennington. Amir Derakh was immortalised in the Coal Chamber song Amir of the Desert. He produced their debut album. Jay Gordon appeared on the follow up "Chamber Music".
When asked for an Orgy update in late July 2008, Shuck informed fans that Orgy's return is still underway but their priority is getting the much delayed Julien-K album released. During a video interview at the annual Californian NAMM 2009 convention, Derakh mentioned a 2010 Orgy reunion.
On March 30, 2010, through a video to his Julien-K, Dead By Sunrise, and Orgy followers, Shuck informed that there are plans for a tour in 2010. On October 25, 2010, Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh informed on the Julien-K blog that "As of Oct. 26th we will no longer be part of Orgy. Jay will continue making music without the original members. On October 30, 2010, Jay Gordon released a statement via his official Facebook profile stating that he still owns the Orgy name and wants to continue forth creating new material for the band. Jay wrote that all previous members of the band were too busy with numerous side-projects to continue with the original band.
On November 7, 2011, Blabbermouth.net published a news story detailing the bitter feud between vocalist Gordon and guitarists Shuck and Derakh that has spiraled out of control after Gordon revealing his plans to assemble a band of musicians and begin touring under the name Orgy.
On February 3, 2012, it was announced that Orgy would embark on a five-week run titled the Bad Blood Tour. The new lineup features members of Deadsy, Snot, and Run Run Run. Vocalist Jay Gordon is the only original member of Orgy appearing on this tour; the support acts are the Texas-based One-Eyed Doll Cleveland-based industrial metal band Ventana and Faultline from Richmond, Virginia. The band has reportedly been in the studio in recent weeks recording new material, including a collaboration with Skrillex. This was confirmed after they cancelled the last five shows of their tour.
On August 4, 2012, Orgy linked to a 30 second demo of a new song, "Grime of the Century" via their Twitter and Facebook page.
In 2013, Orgy embarked on the Wide Awake and Dead Tour with Vampires Everywhere! and Davey Suicide.

Orgy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me, how do I feel?
Tell me, now, how do I feel?
How does it feel?
How should I feel?
Tell me how does it feel
To treat me like you do
Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today
I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortunes
I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me, how do I feel?
Tell me, now, how should I feel?
Now I stand here waiting
I thought I told you to leave me
When I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold
How does it feel?
How should I feel?
Tell me how does it feel
To treat me like you do
How does it feel?
How should I feel?
Tell me how does it feel
To treat me like you do
How does it feel?
How should I feel?
Tell me how does it feel
To treat me like you do
The lyrics of Orgy's "Blue Monday" depict a sense of confusion and emotional turmoil from the perspective of the singer. The repeated question, "How does it feel to treat me like you do?" suggests that the singer is feeling mistreated or undervalued by another person, likely a partner in a romantic relationship. Despite their mistreatment, the singer still longs for the other person's validation and struggles to communicate their own needs.
The line "Those who came before me lived through their vocations" could be interpreted as a commentary on the pressure to conform to societal expectations and norms. The reference to a ship in the harbor and the idea of obeying someone else's misfortune suggests a sense of being trapped or powerless in the face of external circumstances.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of emotional confusion and powerlessness in the face of a challenging relationship.

How does it feel to treat me like you do?
What does it feel like to treat me with such disrespect?
When you've laid your hands upon me
When you've physically touched me
And told me who you are
And explained your identity to me
I thought I was mistaken
I believed that I might have been wrong about something
I thought I heard your words
I believed that I had heard what you said
Tell me, how do I feel?

I continue to struggle
To say what I need to say
To communicate what I must express
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
However, I'm quite sure that you'll give me instructions
Just how I should feel today
Regarding my emotions for today
I see a ship in the harbor
I observe a ship in the port
I can and shall obey
I can and will comply with orders
But if it wasn't for your misfortunes
However, if it weren't for your hardships
I'd be a heavenly person today
I would be happy and content now
And I thought I was mistaken
And I believed I might have been wrong

Please inform me of the correct emotional response
Now I stand here waiting
Now, I am here, waiting
I thought I told you to leave me
I believed that I ordered you to depart
When I walked down to the beach
When I strolled down to the seashore
Tell me how does it feel
Please explain how it feels
When your heart grows cold
When you become emotionally distant
How does it feel?
What is the feeling like?
How should I feel?
What is the correct emotional response?
Tell me how does it feel
Please explain what the feeling is like
To treat me like you do
To behave toward me in such a negative manner
How does it feel?

Tell me how does it feel
Please explain what the feeling is like
To treat me like you do
To behave toward me in such a negative manner

Tell me how does it feel
Please explain what the feeling is like
To treat me like you do
To behave toward me in such a negative manner

The lyric is "painted face," as in "Your painted face left an impression on my pillow." The singer is telling the "Suicide Girl" that she wears a considerable amount of makeup and some has come off on the bedding.
