Orbit
Baal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's the feel
She's the candy
She's my neon sign
And she shines
Through the cracks of my mind
And she knows my inner sleeve
She has everything I need
Not only see the stereotypes
From the cover of a magazine
You
Leaving your life
Leaving it still for me
You
Enter the new
With a peace of mind
I have lost
I have earned
Emotional income
And I dream
About eternity in our love
But you don't know how much I feel
Haniging by a string
And I don't know the reason why
Hanging by a string
We raced the tracks for a while
We came in first
You
Taking chances
You Risking it all




I'm craving the touch
Of your fingertips

She's the feel
She is the sensation that I am experiencing


She's the candy
She is the sweet indulgence that I cannot resist

Hanging by a string
In a precarious situation


And I don't know the reason why
And I am unsure of the cause


We raced the tracks for a while
We competed with each other in the past


We came in first
We emerged victorious


You
You taking risks


Taking chances
Taking gambles


You Risking it all
You putting everything on the line


I'm craving the touch
I desire physical contact


Of your fingertips
Of the tips of your fingers
