Radio Orchid
Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's an old lady living in an old house
Since her husband died she hasn't been out
She lives in her own world with her own little nightmares
And she's stopped counting the days

She buys a radio station with her husbands legacy
She does her own show 10 hours a day
Plays poems and listens lets feelings run free
Helps people talk their pain away

So if your world falls down
Can't see the light of day
Call the lady call the station today
And listen

This is radio orchid listen and cry
To all the others that suffer and die
This is radio orchid listen and cry
Take your lonely heart and let fly

Sending her message she's solving the problems
Of millions and millions and who solves hers
The old lady gets older still lives in her old house
But when she dies we'll all live alone

So if your world falls down
Can't see the light of day
Call the lady call the station today

This is radio orchid listen and cry
To all the others that suffer and die
This is radio orchid listen and cry
Take your lonely heart and let fly

Take your lonely heart and let fly

So if your world falls down
Can't see the light of day
Call the lady call the station today

This is radio orchid listen and cry
To all the others that suffer and die
This is radio orchid listen and cry
Take your lonely heart and let fly





Take your lonely heart

Overall Meaning

and let fly


The lyrics of Fury In The Slaughterhouse's song Radio Orchid tell a poignant story about an old lady who lives in an old house, having isolated herself from the world following the death of her husband. She lives in her own world with her own little nightmares and has stopped counting the days. However, she buys a radio station with her husband's legacy and does her own show for 10 hours a day, playing poems and listening to help people talk their pain away. Her program, called Radio Orchid, becomes a beacon of hope and comfort to those who are suffering and struggling to cope with their own problems. The old lady has a selfless attitude and her empathy for others makes her a lifesaver.


The song suggests that the old lady, despite being able to help millions of people solve their problems, remained lonely and unhappy, and nobody was able to solve hers. The listeners can feel the pain and struggles of the people who call the station, and come to realize that their own problems and loneliness are not unique. The lyrics suggest that by sharing their pain and fears, people can begin to let go of their loneliness, and the old lady's efforts on Radio Orchid led to countless people taking up the chance to talk to someone about what they are going through. Yet, the old Lady lives and dies with her sadness and loneliness, unable to share her own problems and perhaps longing for a listener to help her.


Overall, the lyrics of Radio Orchid are a beautifully crafted story of empathy, loneliness, and the power of communication to lessen the burden of a heavy heart. The song's message reminds us that everyone struggles at some point in their life, and that it is important to reach out to others and offer help, love, and support.

There's an old lady living in an old house
Since her husband died she hasn't been out
She lives in her own world with her own little nightmares
And she's stopped counting the days

She buys a radio station with her husbands legacy
She does her own show 10 hours a day
Plays poems and listens, lets feelings run free
Helps people talk their pain away

So if your world falls down
Can't see the light of day
Call the lady, call the station
Today and listen

This is radio orchid, listen and cry
To all the others that suffer and die
This is radio orchid, listen and cry
Take your lonely heart and let fly

Sending her message, she's solving the problems
Of millions and millions and who solves hers
The old lady gets older, still lives in her old house
But when she dies, we'll all live alone

So if your world falls down
Can't see the light of day
Call the lady call the station
Today

This is radio orchid, listen and cry
To all the others that suffer and die
This is radio orchid, listen and cry
Take your lonely heart and let fly

Take your lonely heart and let fly

So if your world falls down
Can't see the light of day
Call the lady, call the station
Today

This is radio orchid, listen and cry
To all the others that suffer and die
This is radio orchid, listen and cry
Take your lonely heart and let fly

Take your lonely heart 🖤

Komplett

@laurawagner1307

Nein. Definitiv nicht. Mainstream Rock Made in Germany🤮. Der schönste Song der 90er ist und bleibt Live Forever von Oasis. Völlig zurecht in der Hall
Of Fame.

Es geht dabei um den Wert des Lebens. Und um Empathie, die heutzutage oft vermisst wird.

@DarkMystify75

Danke. Sehr schön gesagt...

@@diaryofjane9243 Ist richtig. Hat sich dadurch geändert, dass jetzt jeder mit jedem über das Internet reden kann. - Hat Vorteile, aber muss reguliert werden sonst wird es zu Chaos.
