Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we're lost at seaβ
Blame it on the Big Dipper
Tell them that I guess
it was meant to be
Blame it on the stars, stars,
blame it on the constellations
Blame it on the gods, gods,
Let the waves take over, it's out of my hands
Let the waves take over, and put us on the path of Orion
I don't know where we're gonna go,
If we're gonna find our way
Let the constellations put us on the path of Orion
Sirens singing in the distance,
βO will you take my hand?β
βYour crew will only survive
If you do what we demandβ
Blame it on the stars, stars,
blame it on the constellations
Blame it on the gods, gods,
blame it on the gods reputation
Let the waves take over, it's out of my hands
Let the waves take over, and put us on the path of Orion
I don't know where we're gonna go,
If we're gonna find our way
Let the constellations put us on the path of Orion
Let the waves take over
O it's out of my hands
O let the waves take over
Let the waves take over, it's out of my hands
Let the waves take over, and put us on the path of Orion
I don't know where we're gonna go,
If we're gonna find our way
Let the constellations put us on the path of Orion
The lyrics of IVEEN's song "Orion" tell the story of a captain and his crew who find themselves lost at sea. The captain, feeling helpless and uncertain, exclaims to his crew to start praying, acknowledging their dire situation. He then shifts the blame onto celestial entities, specifically the Big Dipper, stars, constellations, and gods. By blaming these cosmic forces, he perhaps seeks to find an explanation for their unfortunate circumstances and the fate they now face.
Despite their desperation, the captain surrenders control to the powerful waves, emphasizing that their destiny is no longer in their hands. He urges them to let the waves take over and put their trust in the path of Orion, a prominent constellation in the night sky. Orion, known for its distinctive belt of three stars, becomes a symbol of guidance and hope, as the crew hopes to find their way through the vastness of the sea by aligning themselves with this celestial marker.
In the second verse, sirens enter the scene, tempting the captain with their enchanting song. They offer survival to the crew, but there is a conditionβthey require the captain to comply with their demands. The sirens represent the obstacles and temptations that the crew must face on their journey, further amplifying the uncertainty of their fate. Yet, the captain continues to hold onto his belief that it is the stars, constellations, and gods who bear responsibility for their predicament.
Overall, "Orion" paints a picture of a desperate situation at sea, where the captain and his crew grapple with their destiny while looking to the heavens for guidance. It speaks to the human tendency to assign blame to external forces, seeking answers and explanations in the face of adversity.
