ORION
Geike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Move me alone
Around my axis, love
This ache unknown
I feel your reign
I'm raised upon
Why is this burning?
Orion
Orion
Orion
Orion thin the mist in the woods
I feel unchained
On me you pull
With all this happening
This ache unknown
You rearrange
Unmerciful
My world reshuffled
And I'm aching for more
Orion
Orion
Orion
Orion thin the mist in the woods
Talking about a boy
Whose body they broke
For the thrill of youth
Talking about a boy
Whose body they broke
For the thrill of truth
Orion
Orion
Orion
Orion the mist in the woods
It's a dream
So real
A dream
Oh, it's a dream
Never misunderstood
The lyrics to Geike's song "Orion" convey a sense of longing and vulnerability in a relationship. The singer expresses feeling under the control and influence of their partner, as if their entire world revolves around them. The mention of being raised upon and feeling unchained suggests a sense of liberation and being deeply connected to the other person. However, there is also an underlying pain and uncertainty, as evidenced by the repeated phrase "this ache unknown." The relationship is described as transformative, with the partner rearranging the singer's world, yet the singer is left wanting more.
The mention of Orion, referring to the constellation in the night sky, adds a poetic and metaphorical element to the song. Orion is traditionally associated with strength, power, and masculinity. It is as if the singer is calling upon this celestial figure to bring clarity and understanding to their situation, to thin the mist that obscures their thoughts and feelings.
The final stanza introduces a different perspective, talking about a boy whose body was broken for the thrill of youth or truth. This suggests a deeper layer of meaning that can be open to interpretation. It could be a commentary on the sacrifice and pain one endures for the sake of personal growth or the pursuit of knowledge and authenticity.
Overall, "Orion" explores the complex emotions of love, desire, and transformation in a relationship, while also touching upon themes of vulnerability and sacrifice.
