@james.taylor.girl6: This song is and the showing metaphor are about centering yourself around something and looking for its validation. #noahkahan #orbiter #thelastofthebugs
Girl I think you need to listen to this song 100 more times and set aside your bitterness. Art is meant to be interpreted and applied to fit your reality. Let the cute couples have this one. I took it as whoever the moon is grounds him. He is the anxious pup they are his grounding moon.

It’s definitely not a love song but I won’t be mad at people using a BEAUTIFUL metaphor of a chorus to describe how they love someone lol

People comprehend lyrics differently, and that’s okay. Worry about yourself

No he wrote this song after the Grammys, it’s about him feeling out of place on the carpet and focusing on his wife to center him

Noah said he wrote "Orbiter" for his mother. The song explores the "Mother-Son Gravity Theory"—the concept that while a mother and son share an incredibly strong emotional pull in his early years, that distance slowly grows as he sets out to become the man he is meant to be.

The gag is, you fail to realize that in seeking validation he found it in the person he sees as his moon.

Howlett the Poodle :
This song is explicitly about his mom whom he took to the Grammys the day it poured and he lost. Half of the song is about losing and feeling awful over it and needing validation, you’re correct. But the other half is about his mom who he stares at, who he sings for, who he looks to for guidance like dogs do to the moon. When he spiraled she was the one who reminded him he’s perfect as he is. She’s his supporter and that’s why people use the song for their partners, who also support them when they spiral.

VoiceOverMeme :
The most beautiful songs were never meant to be trapped inside one explanation. The moment music leaves the artist, it begins living inside millions of completely different lives. One person hears a breakup.
Another hears distance. Another hears the person they almost loved. Another hears the version of themselves they lost somewhere along the way.

Music is deeply personal, the same song can hold completely different meanings for different people. Not every song is straightforward or linear. Well that my opinion anywayyyy

I’ve always find very weird that people don’t think love songs come with fear, anxiety, obsession, and many emotions that are considered “bad” or “unhealthy”. This song IS a love song, that holds other emotions too. And that’s okay.

I mean this song is literally about the “moon” who grounds him. So figuratively anyone who grounds you could fit it. Just because your lover doesn’t ground you or it doesn’t fit your reality doesn’t mean it doesn’t fit someone else reality. If this is your interpretation of the song then that’s great but your interpretation isn’t fact it’s your perspective of the song.
