Discover the story of the song > Orion Subsiding – King Buffalo

The lyrics talk about the protagonist seeing an old star in the sky, with red glowing eyes and lungs that deceive. It brings their heart back home to the soil and stone. They look towards the west and see the sun subsiding, with the smoke hitting their chest and the moon igniting. They make their way back home to the soil and stone, where they will make their home. And eventually they will fade into the soil and stone.
