Looking Good In Orange
The Casket Lottery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Casket Lottery's Looking Good In Orange portrays a complex relationship where one partner is leaving and the other is torn between love and desire. The first line, "You've packed your things, so you're going home," suggests that the relationship is coming to an end, but the second line, "looking good in orange," contradicts this. It could imply that the partner is going to jail or prison, and the singer finds them attractive even in an orange jumpsuit. The emotions of the singer are conflicted, and they love their partner, but they want to touch them just for one last time, indicating an underlying physical desire.
The refrain "give me 10 mississippi to hold your head and I promise everything will be okay" brings a sense of calm in the midst of uncertainty. The singer asks for some time to embrace their partner and assures them that everything will be alright, even though it may not be. The lyrics show how complex and chaotic relationships can be, even when they are coming to an end.
