"Pluto Projector" is a song by Rex Orange County, released in 2019 as part of his album "Pony". The song is a reflection on growing older and trying to understand the complexities of life, with the singer wondering if he is meant to be a protector and if he is enough for his partner. The title "Pluto Projector" refers to the projections of the thoughts in his head, meaning hes willing to open up to his partner about things hes always kept inside. The song has a combination of innocence and intimacy, creating an atmosphere that makes it hard not to smile. The lyrics are full of charming rough edges and the genre is a fluctuating hybrid maundering between contemporary jazz, R&B, and electronic. The song ends with a hopeful message, the idea that one day he will find the confidence to understand himself and that he can "hold it up".
