about

In plainest terms, a love song, if you must. Tongue in cheek, and based on light-hearted inside jokes about armpits, but guised in Latin for classiness.
But more importantly this is a companion piece to 'I Just Wasn't Made For These Times' to demonstrate a means to overcome the troubles of modern societal branding.

lyrics

At last you feel that embrace
And gaze at a masterpiece
Emotion unending evoked
In a view that once was grey

Axilla, Axilla
Meus amor, meus amor
Tuus odor me tranquillat
Ipsa est meus ardor

It’s a joy on the verge of grotesque
But grotesque can be such a joy
To be freed of what once we called shame
And discover nothing but bliss
Cast the world aside for bliss

Every last one of your hairs
Is nothing short of a masterful brush stroke
This portrait before me could light up a room
Such beauty is pure and rare
Like a cerulean silhouette with a subdued wolf who stands before the moon


Shed your dignity
Come together as one
Take all of these demands and expectations, the brands of the masses
Let’s leave them now, for the exotic, for the strange


With long flowing socks, and a smile
That could power a city through June
Your scent is like crayons and glee
It lifts me up from despair

Axilla, axilla,
Tuus est meus amor
