Dark Orbit

Voice: DA-PHONk
Production: Dark Earl

A slow-breathing monolith of sound, Dark Orbit is the first haunting collaboration between DA-PHONK and Dark Earl, a descent into cosmic isolation, whispered fears, and broken transmissions. With DA-PHONk’s detached, ghostlike delivery and Dark Earl’s frostbitten synth layers, the track draws inspiration from 80s coldwave, analog space horror, and cybernetic melancholy. This is not a song. It’s a sealed pod drifting endlessly in the void.
For fans of: Gary Numan, John Maus, Boy Harsher, Carpenter Brut (on downers).

Featuring the atmospheric basslines of Midi-14, whose presence gives the composition a profound emotional depth beneath its minimalist surface.

Lyrics :

[Verse 1]
It’s cold in here
And the stars flicker pale through the cracks in the hull
There’s a shape out there
In a black suit, no face, floating slow past my window

[Verse 2]
Now the lights dim down
And I wonder what I’m doing in a pod like this
There’s a signal again
And just for a second, I thought I could hear your voice

[Chorus]
So now I drift on
Now I can think in the dark
About secret codes and failed scans
And things I just can’t comprehend
Like a soft beep at night
Or a ghost ping in time
I don’t think it ever reached you

[Verse 3]
So I opened the hatch
It’s the “crewman” I left in the airlock
“Just stay still”
A flickering shadow on the wall of the deck

[Verse 4]
You know I hate to ask
But are ghosts synthetic?
Only mine broke down
And now there's no one aboard

[Chorus]
So I traced back the echoes, the false logs and lights
And it hurts, and I’m empty
And I should never have called
And I missed you tonight
So I’ll disengage
You see... it meant everything to me
