Bobby briefly joined Snake River Conspiracy for a while, and Jay formed his own independent record label, D1 Music, with his father. In 2004, Orgy's third album, "Punk Statik Paranoia," was released under D1, but with little to no radio play or recognition from the mainstream music media.
Ryan and Amir have also started a side project known as Julien-K, with a much more electronic focus, and have released a song featuring the vocals of Chester Bennington of Linkin Park on the recent Underworld Evolution soundtrack. They have since formed the project Dead By Sunrise with Bennington. Amir Derakh was immortalised in the Coal Chamber song Amir of the Desert. He produced their debut album. Jay Gordon appeared on the follow up "Chamber Music".
When asked for an Orgy update in late July 2008, Shuck informed fans that Orgy's return is still underway but their priority is getting the much delayed Julien-K album released. During a video interview at the annual Californian NAMM 2009 convention, Derakh mentioned a 2010 Orgy reunion.
On March 30, 2010, through a video to his Julien-K, Dead By Sunrise, and Orgy followers, Shuck informed that there are plans for a tour in 2010. On October 25, 2010, Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh informed on the Julien-K blog that "As of Oct. 26th we will no longer be part of Orgy. Jay will continue making music without the original members. On October 30, 2010, Jay Gordon released a statement via his official Facebook profile stating that he still owns the Orgy name and wants to continue forth creating new material for the band. Jay wrote that all previous members of the band were too busy with numerous side-projects to continue with the original band.
On November 7, 2011, Blabbermouth.net published a news story detailing the bitter feud between vocalist Gordon and guitarists Shuck and Derakh that has spiraled out of control after Gordon revealing his plans to assemble a band of musicians and begin touring under the name Orgy.
On February 3, 2012, it was announced that Orgy would embark on a five-week run titled the Bad Blood Tour. The new lineup features members of Deadsy, Snot, and Run Run Run. Vocalist Jay Gordon is the only original member of Orgy appearing on this tour; the support acts are the Texas-based One-Eyed Doll Cleveland-based industrial metal band Ventana and Faultline from Richmond, Virginia. The band has reportedly been in the studio in recent weeks recording new material, including a collaboration with Skrillex. This was confirmed after they cancelled the last five shows of their tour.
On August 4, 2012, Orgy linked to a 30 second demo of a new song, "Grime of the Century" via their Twitter and Facebook page.
In 2013, Orgy embarked on the Wide Awake and Dead Tour with Vampires Everywhere! and Davey Suicide.
Dramatica
Orgy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Such a fool for the amazon.
Nothing's wrong but it's just not right.
The three of us in the naked light.
No chance for psychotic solutions.
Lost in this three-way dimension.
Imagine you as me and I'll tell you.
Just what I'm thinking.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
And it feels like, feels like I.
Feels like we do.
And everyone's daze is on.
Look what you've done.
You give yourself away for nothing.
Feels like you.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
Look what you've done.
And give it all away for nothing.
Feels like you.
Give it all away for nothing.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
When will you escape Dramatica.
Gifts of pleasure you received.
Everything you wanted from me.
Chemical abduction restricted our vision.
We were on auto drive.
Don't blame the platform for your fall.
We were chasing obsession.
Imagine you as me and I'll tell you.
Just what was on my mind that night.
‘Cause it feels like you.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
‘Cause it feels like you.
Feels like I.
Feels like we do.
Look what you've done.
Give it all away for nothing.
What's on your mind.
The lyrics of Orgy's song "Dramatica" describe a complicated relationship between three people. The singer feels like a fool for being drawn into this trio, and describes feeling lost in a "three-way dimension" with no chance for a solution. The chorus repeats the phrase "feels like you, feels like I, feels like we do," emphasizing the intimacy of the situation. The lyrics also suggest that this relationship is causing the singer and the others involved to lose sight of reality, as they are "on auto drive" and "gifts of pleasure" they have received are blinding them to the truth. The final lines encourage the listener to escape this cycle of self-destruction and give away less of themselves for nothing.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the dangers of becoming too wrapped up in a complicated relationship or obsession. The repeating refrain emphasizes the degree to which people can become entwined, to the point where they lose sight of themselves and their individuality. The use of language such as "chemical abduction" also implies a certain level of addiction or dependence, suggesting that the singer and the others in this trio may not be able to easily extricate themselves from the situation.
