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
Me & Willow had just watched all of the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies back to back and before that we watched ALL of the Eclipse moivies. so the line, "mermaids & vampires, so very strange..." that is where THAT line originates. now the title of the song goes even deeper, it is literally a quote from Captain Jack Sparrow(who doesn't just LOVE him?!?!) non-verbatim, he was told that he could either shut up or walk the plank, and his words were, "I'll be as silent as the grave." - I had heard the turn of phrase before a million times, but that time it STUCK. This song was NOT one of the "hits", but it is still one of my personal favorites off of "Wastoid".
Lyrics
Silent as the Grave Sometimes the devil wears the savior’s face Sometimes not everything needs to be explained Lame to live in this digital age I’ll just sit here silent as the grave Static static static – wish I could fly away. I’ll be at my funeral – but not at the burial Reincarnate – silent as the grave Mermaids and vampires-so very strange Here we are here we go So what now is left to show? I just want to Love-I just need a fixx I’m too far above wondering what’s next Love life-die hard I’m shattered-shattered and scarred Sometimes the angel wears a strangers face I will exercise my demons for you. Static static static – wish I could fly away.
