Waiting on the sunrise
Hey yeah
Waiting on the sunrise, they lonely
Just caught up in these hard times, it's okay
Just making through these dark night
Waiting on the sunrise, they lonely
I see them when they walk by, they only
Just caught up in these hard times, it's okay
Just need a little sunshine
Give me that ass girl
Give me that grip I need it
I've been waiting and waiting and I know you've been sleeping
You stole my blanket, you let the boy freezing
Plus in the morning I'm leaving
All that I'm left with is sheets and the [?] and the pipe, she stole my breathin'
Thought she was wifey, must have been dreamin'
Waiting on sun, waiting for someone to give me some love
I don't feel it no more
Now that I'm on tour, just love after love
I've been asking for more
These bitches so up they intention is short
[?] what you won an award?
I'm just a piece of your puzzle, no more
But shit it's just love let it all play its chords
Probably go end in divorce
I keep my foot to the floor
What you mistook me for?
Messing with freaks, something like every week
Mic em' up I got my foot in the door
Give me some hits it might cook me some more
Skirts getting short, weed in the blunt
Another night waiting on the sunrise
Waiting on the sunrise, they lonely
I see them when they walk by, they only
Just caught up in these hard times, it's okay
Just taking all these dark night
Waiting on the sunrise, they lonely
I see them when they walk by, they only
Just caught up in these hard times, it's okay
Just need a little sunshine
And I've been waiting on the sunrise
Ever since I seen your jeans
I've been trying to leave
Catching fly through my team
Take me out to L.A., I'm too fucked for this shit
I need friends to escape
But the friends that I need ain't gon come till I'm payed
So I'm stuck for a while, until I get payed
But right now, the ramen noodles right next to the Hennessy
She told me
She told me, it gets better
It's lonely, it's lonely, but I can't hold my liquor
So I'm gonna smoke my weed
And I can't hold my liquor
So I'm gonna smoke my weed
She's fine with you, she's fine with you

The song "Orion" by Bee Caves is a melancholic track that reflects the feelings of loneliness and waiting for something to change. The lyrics depict the desperation one feels when they are stuck in a rut and are waiting for some ray of hope to show them the way out. The opening line "Waiting on the sunrise, they lonely" plunges the listener into a world of darkness and waiting for a glimmer of hope. The singer sees other people walking by, but they too seem to be caught up in their own hard times. Therefore they can offer no solace or respite from the loneliness.
The second verse adds another layer to the singer's situation. They are in a relationship that is not fulfilling, and they are waiting for someone else to give them love. The singer is disillusioned with their current situation and feels that they deserve more from life. However, they are not sure how to get out of their present predicament, and they are waiting for some external force to push them forward.
The chorus repeats the theme of waiting on the sunrise, which symbolizes the hope of a new beginning. The song ends on an ambivalent note, with the singer smoking weed to cope with the loneliness and the uncertainty of their future. In essence, "Orion" is a poignant and relatable expression of the human condition of waiting for something to change while feeling helpless to initiate change oneself.
