The story of Orpheus is about a musician who travels to the underworld to rescue his wife, but he turns to look back at her too soon and she's sucked back into Hades.
I think "It's Never Over (Oh Orpheus)" and "Awful Sound (Oh Eurydice)" connect in a way with the next track: "Porno." The first two are very romantic and dramatic and reference great mythical stories of rescue- whereas the last is about the narrator's helpless anger about his wife being objectified and mocked for her gender. He can't rescue her- there's no Hades for him to descend into and then try to escape from. There's just a bunch of assholes whose vocabulary consists mostly of wolf-whistling and "nice tits!" It's a painfully mundane problem that can't really be solved.
Win is Orpheus, Regine is Eurydice.
