Grand Orbiter
Spaceslug Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Descending
The Spaceship
Perdition
Galactic Fall x2

Prophets of cry
Oceans of suns
We've seen fall before

Orbiter phase on

The Chains of collides
Orbiter phase on

Organic and live
he's mind speaks through mine

The lyrics of Spaceslug's Grand Orbiter denote a journey towards destruction wherein the spaceship is on its way to perdition, and the whole galaxy is falling into a dark abyss. Despite coming across these situations before, the prophets still cry and the oceans of suns still seem to exist. The song talks about the "Orbiter phase on" which keeps the chain alive and speaks of organic and live matter. Through the final line, "He's mind speaks through mine," the song implies that their mind is connected and is speaking the same language.

The song has a very symbolic approach and can be interpreted in various ways. The spaceship can be interpreted as life, and the lyrics can be about the journey of life towards destruction or the end of the world. It can also be an analogy to a person's emotional journey through life where they see and feel things similarly yet also makes their own unique interpretations.
