Orbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She says I know what I'll be
And I'm in my head again
She says darkness never came for me
The freaks they walk by my room
One day they'll come and call
And they'll take me in
And they'll make me king
Money counts for nothing, babe
When money comes for free
Money counts for nothing babe
In the carnival of freaks
She's in my bed again
Bust she says she's only killing time
And I'm in the waiting room
But it's slowly coming back with time
I'm on the rocking horse
But the rocking horse don't make no sense
I'm on the train again, get on the train again
Where it's all the freaks and me
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
Get on the train again
I'm on the train again
Get on the train again
I'm on the train again

The second verse describes the singer's longing for belongingness that pushes him towards the carnival. He meets a girl who is similarly lost, but they share a sense of understanding with each other. But their relationship is just another form of killing time. The last lines of the song describe the urge of the singer to leave everything behind and join the carnival.

Line by Line Meaning
The carnival came through today
Today, the carnival went through our place
She says I know what I'll be
She tells herself that she knows her future
And I'm in my head again
I'm lost in my thoughts once again
She says darkness never came for me
She thinks that she has never experienced real darkness
The freaks they walk by my room
I can see the strange people walking outside my room
One day they'll come and call
Someday, they will knock on my door
And they'll take me in
They will lure me into their carnival
And they'll make me king
Once inside, they will give me the power of the carnival
Of the carnival they are
They are the masters of the carnival
Money counts for nothing, babe
Money is worthless
When money comes for free
If money is too easy to get
In the carnival of freaks
Inside the circus of strange characters
She's in my bed again
She is back in my bed
But she says she's only killing time
She claims that she is just wasting time
And I'm in the waiting room
I'm sitting in the waiting area
But it's slowly coming back with time
But I'm slowly remembering everything with time
I'm on the rocking horse
I am riding a toy horse that rocks back and forth
But the rocking horse don't make no sense
The rocking horse seems pointless
I'm on the train again, get on the train again
I'm back on the train, I'm riding the train once more
Where it's all the freaks and me
Where all the strange people are, I'm there too
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
Repeat the chorus two times
Get on the train again
Get back on the train once more
I'm on the train again
I'm riding the train once again
Get on the train again
Hop back onto the train
I'm on the train again
I'm still riding the train
