Decaying Orbit

Decaying Orbit is an unorthodox, highly diverse & genre-splitting band from Texas led by their infamous front man Mike Ash.

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

I remember a friend walking into my studio during the mix-down of this song & his reaction was, verbatim, "What in the fuck is that shit?!?! I've never heard anything like it!!!" - it seemed like a rather appropriate back handed compliment at the time & even now it makes me smile. This song was originally recorded during the sessions for the Mike Ash album, "The Excapist" & released in 2002. This track was also released on the online Mike Ash collective, "Leading Up To Nothing", released in 2011 under the authority of Decaying Enterprises. Oh & just so that you know, I have a life-long fixation on turtles & collect turtle figurines. So, this song was not only dedicated to all of the REAL turtles, but to all of the people like me who feel like they live inside their shell, hiding from the world.

Lyrics

all the turtles, all the turtles, all the turtles,
worn out like a rusted hinge,
who will save us from our dearest friends?
vanilla, manila and cherry pie, kava kava and covert inside
frivolity and transmuted soul, and a bunch I cannot control,
calumet for au re voir, enormity, che sara sara
I feel like a curio not an amaranth,
pecavi for the circumstance,
ennui or just an addment of pain,
convoluted as I deprecate,
all the turtles, all the turtles, all the turtles...
eat the flowers, now I'm pretty inside,
it makes me ugly when you believe the lie,
give me honey, give me sugar, give me lemonade,
give me shit, give me sugar, give me cocaine...
there's nothin' like suckin' on soap, 
it's no fun when you're hung from a rope...
all the turtles, all the turtles, all the turtles...
