The song "In Orbit" by Jebediah depicts a person struggling with their inner demons and the consequences of their actions. The lyrics suggest that the truth can be painful and that the persona does not want to revisit the mistakes they have made in the past. The line "I'm a boy with an endless lie" implies that the persona has been living a life filled with deception or hiding their true selves. They view the world in a negative light, symbolized by their "bad black eyes," suggesting a pessimistic outlook. Despite their internal turmoil, the persona acknowledges that it might be acceptable or "alright" to continue living with this falsehood. They are aware that their behavior may not be ideal (reflected in the line "Don't mean to be mean") but believe they cannot change or don't fully understand their actions. The persona mentions their immaturity and the inability to cleanse their conscience, indicating a lack of self-awareness or growth. They feel burdened by the truth, but question if it would make any difference if they were to confront it. Overall, "In Orbit" revolves around the internal struggle and inner conflict faced by the persona, highlighting themes of deceit, self-doubt, and the difficulty of facing one's own truth.
