I attended one of The Weepies concerts in Los Angeles and before they performed Orbiting, Deb Talan mentioned that it's about her experience with sexual abuse in her family. She mentioned she wanted the audience to know that's what it was about. She also mentioned that, at every concert, even though she knows she's going to mention this, she gets choked up every time. I think everyone in the audience choke up, too.
It was sobering to hear that's what this hauntingly beautiful song is about. As well as the fact that it's sentiments touch each of us in different ways. My favorite line is the last: "Cause I know what side you're on/And it's not mine."
