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
in America, you're either super-mega rich and treated like inbred royalty, well off, middle class, working class, poor or destitute. now, to me, America has WAAAY more than enough to go around to where people could have homes and food to eat. one of the main problems in our country is that the rich folks look down on and even hate the working class & the poor. they hate them because they are under the ignorant, myopic perspective that their wealth makes them more important, even better than other people. well, to that I would just ask, when you get cut, what color is the blood that comes out? it's red, because you're a human being. which means that you are NOT better than anyone else, regardless of your wealth, sorry, but money doesn't make the person & if you think it does then you are sadly mistaken and are probably quite retarded. I grew up well off, I went to private schools etc. however, once I moved out of my parents, I had to learn about life as a poor man REALLY quick, thank God I had my real Mom to give me some shopping pointers on how to save dough. so, I have seen BOTH sides of THAT fence, the grass is exactly the same on BOTH sides. NO ONE IS BETTER THAN SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THEIR BANK STATEMENT!!! to tell the truth, I have met more down to earth homeless people, junkies, crack heads, speed freaks, weirdos and those demonized by the stigmas placed upon them by the egotistical, ignorant & self righteous. those deplorable megalomaniacs that are considered "normal" or even the "Status Quo", the so-called "good people". well I hate to remind all of you Christians that Jesus himself taught Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, Empathy & understanding, and he wasn't hanging out with the "good people" in the temples(in fact he held the Church of the day in contempt for caring more about MONEY than GOD!!!) Jesus hung out with the lepers, drunkards, criminals, thieves and the like. oh & another thing, Jesus himself told his disciples before his crucifixion to NEVER form a "religion" in his name. so... the Christian Church has it ALL wrong, they lie & mislead their followers and they do it in the name of Jesus Christ, they are literally putting words in the mouth of Christ in order to get whatever it is that they are seeking(which is usually more money!!!) anyway, if we all stopped acting like we are the only fucking people on the planet and actually did at least one thing everyday to help someone in need and expect nothing in return. try it, I swear it feels great to help people in need!!!! the satisfaction of making someone else's day even a little bit better or more pleasant is indescribable to say the least. also, those acts WILL come back to you in one form or another, call it good Karma or whatever, but it's not just some theory to me, I have witnessed the universe balance itself with my own eyes. so, the more good & positive you put out, the more that will come back your way...
Lyrics
Counting Pennies kill yourself if it makes you happy hate yourself if it makes you smile choke on it until you’re gagging Love yourself and think you’re vile Please and thank you and of course I will Right away – no time to kill No one knows just how this feels And I don’t even care to try to explain All the guilt and despair and the endless pain Write one line to match the other Take the words and smash them together What to say? it’s all been said already Oh ok we’re still rockin’ steady Love my girl, but we’re counting pennies So I kill myself if that makes you happy And hate myself to make you smile You always act so disgusted Try to hide the fact you love it I just want to get high alright Who gives a sh** what you think Just pour me another drink Pop a pill I need a refill Smoke a fat blunt Take the words and smash them together Write one line to match the other What to say? it’s all been said already Oh ok, we’re still here rockin’ steady Love my girl and we’re counting pennies
