[1]Jay Paul Gordon (born January 30, 1967) is a musician and producer.
Originally from the Excelsior District of San Francisco, California, Gordon is the vocalist in the synth-industrial band Orgy, which rose to prominence through their signing to Korn's fledgeling label, Elementree Records, their appearance on the first Family Values Tour, as well as due to mainstream reaction to their cover of New Order's signature song, Blue Monday. His enigmatic, glam-styled appearance and energetic stage presence have been major factors contributing to his popularity, turning him into a pop music pinup of sorts.
He previously worked as a musician with the bands Lit and Deadsy, and had collaborated with a few other popular rock musicians on a project called The Wondergirls. He has collaborated with several musicians during his musical career such as Jonathan Davis of Korn and the bands Crazy Town, Coal Chamber, and Linkin Park. Most notably, he has worked extensively with Coal Chamber as the producer of their first self-titled album. Gordon and Coal Chamber's Meegs used to share an apartment before their respective bands grew in popularity. He is also the lead singer of the band Hello Machine (formerly Machine Gun Orchestra).

Slept So Long (Queen of the D
Jay Gordon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping
And hating
Things that I can't bear
Did you think it's cool
To take my life
And fuck it up
Well did you?
Well did you?
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise(surprise)
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
Walking, Waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping
And hating
Things that I can't bear
Did you think it's cool
To walk right up
To take my life
And fuck it up
Well did you?
I hate you!
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
And touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
I've slept so long without you
It's tearing me apart too
How'd it get this far
Playing games with this old heart
I've killed a million petty souls
But I couldn't kill you
I've slept so long without you
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
The lyrics of Jay Gordon's song Slept So Long seem to be about a person who is tormented by their own thoughts, emotions, and desires. The singer is depicted as walking and waiting alone, with the weight of the world on their shoulders, and hating things they can't bear. The phrase "walking, waiting, alone without a care" can indicate a sense of desolation and depression. The first two words "walking, waiting" can also imply the sense that the singer is stuck in a rut; unable to move forward or make decisions.
The chorus of the song is particularly intense as the singer asks the person who has hurt them if they thought it was cool to take their life and ruin it. The song also underscores the idea of touching being a double-edged sword as touching the person who hurt them makes them feel alive, but also causes them to die inside. The refrain "I've slept so long without you, it's tearing me apart too" seems to signify that the singer has been without this person for so long and can no longer bear the pain. The singer speaks to their own anguish and desire for the person who hurt them.
This song is a representation of love gone bad or a rejection that causes the singer more pain than they can handle. It's about living through the worst possible heartache and coming out on the other side, barely. It also reveals the desires and inner-most thoughts and what it means to struggle emotionally.

Lyrics
Walking, waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping and hating
With things I can't bare
Did you think it's cool
To walk right up to take my life and fuck it up
Well, did you, well, did you?
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
Walking, waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping and hating
With things I can't bare
Did you think it's cool
To walk right up to take my life and fuck it up
Well, did you, well, did you?
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
I've slept so long without you
It's tearing me apart
Till how to get this far playing games
With fist held cards
I've killed a million pity souls
But I can kill you
I've slept so long without you
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
@Tdipd
i thought it was just me but apparently a lot of people were into this album and movie. love it
@arya.51

@TheDuckseason
It was huge back in the day because of Aaliyah she was an up and coming singer as well and she died before this came out tragically. I came back here today because of a rabbit hole. I was searching the Band Orgy out , They did a great cover of the song Blue Monday it was a remake from an 80s song and hard industrial sounding. Then Wiki Amir Derakh and find out that members of that band made the soundtrack for the movie today , Mind blown , Then find out they were tied to Chester of Lincoln Park fame working with them . Mind gone.
