The opening track of Get Behind Me Satan takes inspiration from the Bible, as most of the album it is off of does, but its main meaning is actually about child abuse. Blue Orchid was the name of a Russian-run child pornography organization. This ties right in with the ongoing theme of losing purity...
Blue Orchid Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
[Verse 2]
Something better than nothing
Something better than nothing, it's giving up
We all need to do something
Try to keep the truth from showing up
[Chorus 1]
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
[Verse 3]
You're given a flower
But I guess that there's just no pleasing you
Your lip tastes sour
But you think that it's just me teasing you
[Verse 1]
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
[Chorus 2]
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
[Verse 1]
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
