about

I have gotten many questions about this song.
Tubulidentata is a primarily extinct Order that the Aardvark belongs to. The song is about the imagery of tapirs as dream eating creatures in Japanese mythology, in part because I thought tapirs were part of that order, but later because I liked the idea of it being creatures that were mostly gone.

The song is, naturally, about having my dreams eaten as a form of placating my restlessness.

lyrics

Tubular and long is the snout
Searching through the dirt for bugs
Cooler than a dog that's for sure
Underrated beast he is

Expected to become an icon of desire
From your kids to your mom, I'll show you my maneuvers
I am a stalwart creature if you are having nightmares
I can show you my love with my dream eating powers
You will never sleep alone again at night. You will never sleep again in fear

Tubulidentata

Later you can rest in the woods
And the forest floor is clean
No night terrors up in the sky
No bed bugs to bother you
