An interview with Refinery29 confirmed that this song is about living in a family where The Weepies member, Deb, was sexually abused as a child. The article says, “More than any other song in the band’s catalog, [Orbiting] will haunt you. When asked what it’s about, Deb starts to answer then freezes...
You named me judge the day that I was born
You asked too much to fix what you had torn
Things got out of hand, now I understand
And I'm out of your range
Now it's kinda strange
How we change orbit in our lives
You were kind of a moon outside of my room
I could just feel you nearby
Now I feel you gone
'Cause I know which side you're on
And it's not mine
I walk the line between now and then
It's deep sea diving with no oxygen
Guess I went somewhere to hide
Far behind my eyes
I willed you there to see
But you never came for me
Now, I'm out of your range
Now it's kinda strange
How we change orbit in our lives
You were kind of a moon outside of my room
I could just feel you nearby
Now I feel you gone
'Cause I know which side you're on
And it's not mine
The Weepies released Orbiting on Tue Apr 22 2008.
