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.
Make up Your Mind
Orgy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You couldn't make me
Anymore crazy
Than I could stand to be
So won't you just sympathize with me
And all the things I do to make you angry with me
You say, I leave you all alone
Every time you call me
As if you needed reason to fall down
I know this must be hard for you to understand
And all this waiting takes too long for me
Make up your mind
You don't even know, what's good for you
You better keep your eyes on me
Maybe you're oblivious inside
And it's scary that you don't know
Your chances fade away
Fade away sometimes
Maybe you're oblivious inside
No you can't deny me
And I don't want to see you go away
You get angry when I ask what's on your mind
I should have been asking you what's been up your sleeve this whole time
'Cause now I know you're dangerous
And I know you're dangerous, but somehow you're contagious
Make up your mind
You don't even know, what's good for you
You better keep your eyes on me
Maybe you're oblivious inside
But it's scary that you don't know
Your chances fade away
Fade away sometimes
Maybe you're oblivious inside
You don't even know, what's good for you
You better keep your eyes on me
Maybe you're oblivious inside
But it's scary that you don't know
Your chances fade away
Fade away sometimes
Maybe you're oblivious inside
No you can't deny me
No you can't deny me
'Cause I don't want to see you go away
You don't even know, what's good for you
You better keep your eyes on me
Maybe you're oblivious inside
But it's scary that you don't know
But it's scary that you don't know
Your chances fade away
Fade away sometimes
Maybe you're oblivious inside
In "Make Up Your Mind" by Orgy, the singer is pleading with their partner to make a decision about their relationship. The opening lyrics suggest that there has been some conflict between the two, and the singer doesn't want to be made any more crazy than they already are. The partner seems to be indecisive, and the singer is frustrated with the waiting, hence the repeated chorus of "make up your mind." The singer even acknowledges that they know their partner doesn't know what is good for them, and that their chances are fading away.
Throughout the song, the singer seems to vacillate between wanting to be with their partner and recognizing that they may be dangerous. It's almost as if the singer is struggling to convince themselves to let go of the relationship. The final lines of the song really emphasize this, with the singer saying "No you can't deny me / 'Cause I don't want to see you go away." It's as if the singer is both begging the partner not to leave, but also acknowledging that they may have to.
Overall, "Make Up Your Mind" is a song about the frustrating uncertainty that can come with a rocky relationship. The singer is struggling to make sense of their partner's actions and words, and is ultimately left with a sense of helplessness.

Make up your mind
Please come to a decision
You couldn't make me
You don't upset me as much as I thought
Anymore crazy
Any crazier
Than I could stand to be
Than I am able to handle
So won't you just sympathize with me
Please try to understand my perspective
And all the things I do to make you angry with me
I intentionally provoke you
What's wrong with me today
Why am I behaving this way
You say, I leave you all alone
You accuse me of neglecting you
Every time you call me
Whenever you contact me
As if you needed reason to fall down
As if you require a cause to fail
I know this must be hard for you to understand
I recognize that comprehending my actions may be difficult for you
And all this waiting takes too long for me
I am tired of waiting for you
Make up your mind
Please come to a decision
You don't even know, what's good for you
You are unaware of what is beneficial for you
You better keep your eyes on me
You should focus your attention on me
Maybe you're oblivious inside
Perhaps you are clueless on the inside
And it's scary that you don't know
It is alarming that you lack knowledge
Your chances fade away
Your opportunities disappear
Fade away sometimes
Occasionally they vanish slowly
Maybe you're oblivious inside
Perhaps you are clueless on the inside
No you can't deny me
You cannot refuse me
And I don't want to see you go away
I do not want you to leave
You get angry when I ask what's on your mind
You become upset when questioned about your thoughts
I should have been asking you what's been up your sleeve this whole time
I should have been questioning your motives
'Cause now I know you're dangerous
Since now I realize you are a threat
And I know you're dangerous, but somehow you're contagious
You pose a risk, yet I cannot avoid being influenced by you
Make up your mind
Please come to a decision
You don't even know, what's good for you
You are unaware of what is beneficial for you
You better keep your eyes on me
You should focus your attention on me
Maybe you're oblivious inside
Perhaps you are clueless on the inside
But it's scary that you don't know
But it is alarming that you lack knowledge
Your chances fade away
Your opportunities disappear
Fade away sometimes
Occasionally they vanish slowly
Maybe you're oblivious inside
Perhaps you are clueless on the inside
No you can't deny me
You cannot refuse me
'Cause I don't want to see you go away
Because I do not want you to leave

The lyric is "painted face," as in "Your painted face left an impression on my pillow." The singer is telling the "Suicide Girl" that she wears a considerable amount of makeup and some has come off on the bedding.
