all tangled in orange
All entangled in confusion or complexity represented by the color orange.
and if nothing rhymes with that then
If there's no suitable rhyme for the previous line, express my new grievances.
let me vent all my new complaints
Allow me to release and express my recent complaints.
Stop the tape looks like a wrap they say
Stop the recording; it seems the task is complete, as they say.
No one heard anyway
No one paid attention or listened anyway.

he's been looking for his marbles they threw away
Describing a person looking for something discarded by others with the implication of futility.
He'll die soon anyway

Death is noiseless
Death is a silent and unnoticed event.
A shade of pale on your skin
Describing a pale complexion, possibly linked to death.
Death is noiseless

Check for a fever then die by your receiver just praying that your signal comes in
Checking for illness and hoping desperately for communication.
Be more exposed

that's gazed in public view
Continuing the metaphor of vulnerability leading to an abrupt end.
til a foot cramp brings on the sudden death of you
Imagining a scenario where a foot cramp unexpectedly causes death.
Sing the song I know you know the tune
Encouraging the singing of a familiar song.
Like screaming curses at wind
Repeating the comparison of expressing frustration to shouting at the wind.
Death is noiseless

A shade of pale on your skin
