Decaying Orbit is an experimental, unorthodox, highly diverse & genre-splitting band from Texas led by their infamous front man Mike Ash. "No, this music's not about that, it's not about sound quality, it's about passion." - Mike Ash. Decaying Orbit is produced by their label, Decaying Enterprises Productions and has released many studio albums since they formed in 2008, after the violent break up of the Psychedelic Rock band, Strangefire, of which Mike was the former front man. Decaying Orbit believes in unadulterated musical & creative freedom, Mike describes their music as a "cathartic purge" or "nervous break downs caught on tape.". The band believes that creating music is a sacred, spiritual and magical art form brought to them by the Muses, wraiths and demons hidden just beyond the veil between the worlds of the physical and spiritual realms. Decaying Orbit has traveled beyond the veil and into the realms of the spirits, only to reemerge, like a caterpillar from it's cocoon emerging as a beautiful butterfly, so does Decaying Orbit get reborn through the fire of their cacophonous tunage. The band believes in complete freedom of lifestyle, I.E. sexuality, religion, spirituality, drugs, manner of dress etc. They believe that music is an interstellar language that needs no translation to be understood by absolutely anyone. It's the passion behind the emotions found in the music that matters to Decaying Orbit, they believe that integrity is more important than fortune or fame. This is our Decaying Orbit & we do hope that you will N'Joy tha' show!!!!

Story behind the song
this song is about me dealing with my adoption, I grew up knowing I was adopted, I have always known & before I met my birth family, when I was just a child, I would look into the faces of all of the women I would see, trying to find my real Mom, looking for similarities in the faces of random women in super markets or at church. It has actually been a really difficult issue to deal with, I was finally able to meet my Mom in 1999 when I was 19. She was simply awesome!!!! she looked like a female version of myself, we look alike so much that I still to this day can't look in the mirror without her staring back at me!!! I grew up feeling hurt & rejected by her, only to forgive her in the end. This song is about that emotional process.
Lyrics
maybe you thought I was dirty, oh & by the way... there's something else I'd like to mention, there's a few more things I'd like to say, like how dare you to turn me away! who are you to place me at blame? don't bother to try to explain, so much hurt now you can't take away... so what? & how! where were you when it all came down?!?! you weren't around, you were nowhere to be found, why not? don't know. was I better off on my own?!?! who knows what's what? all I know is what I'm not. maybe you thought I was dirty, oh & by the way, there's something else I'd like to mention, a few more things I'd like to say....
