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 is my poem expounding on the Buddhist idea of emptiness...
Lyrics
I'll just be preaching, preaching to the fading choir telling them all of the things they already know... the beauty of emptiness is in its simplicity its simplicity is the main cause for its misinterpretation it merely sounds complex... but at its core it is really the simplest of ideas everything is nothing and nothing is everything neither everything or nothing even exist while existing simultaneously this only sounds convoluted... it's as easy as one plus one equals two only much harder to explain; what riddle is this of which you speak? everything is nothing? none of it matters much to me. if life is math and math is numbers and numbers are words then life would be the equation of language letters into numbers, linguistical nonsense. has anyone ever found enlightenment while sitting on a toilet? of course 'finding' enlightenment implies that there was something to look for in the first place... emptiness is the space between an object and its given name or the space between a person and what they call themselves the space between a person and how they define themselves the space between distinction and non-distinction; I'll just be preaching, preaching to the fading choir telling them all the things they already know to be true; emptiness is oneness, oneness is everything and nothing do not get lost in confusion... emptiness is lack of distinction emptiness itself is merely another distinction of something indistinct to begin with... all is none, unity is distinction of the already indistinct...

this is so very dark. the choir is fading. very unique. Faunaserenes' voice sits well in here.
