about

Anosmia is the inability to smell. I can't smell. So Anosmium is about the condition of having Anosmia and how insignificant a sense it really is. It's a nod to evolution and how the sense of smell for humans is truly worthless compared to the others. You could go your whole live and no one else would ever know you couldn't smell - until you wrote a song about it.

lyrics

You can't complain about factories leaving town
when there's not one around
Just an empty room full of dogs laughing and pointing you down
You don't know what I mean

If there's something wrong with being evolved, tell my agent
He's between these fingers
A supporter of all that's bona fide
Unquestionable lies

Do you mind if I stand here and look like you?
Four out of five ain't bad
Some would say good - I would

Overrated like the word
I'm feeling sedated
This is absurd
Can I stop trying now?
I need to sit down

Nasally, I challenge you to a duel
I'm not kidding
Then let's make a pun about sense
Survey says I can handle more than you
I'm not kidding
Let's drop the talk and put “number five” on the line tonight
Five bucks say I'm right

Do you mind if I stand here and look like you?
Four out of five ain't bad
Four out of five ain't good either
Some would say good
I would

Overrated like the word
I'm feeling sedated
This is absurd
Can I stop trying now?
I need to sit down

Anosmium created on a whim
Discovering the state of awareness that it puts you in
Darwin's acting gay
Giggling in his grave
Opening champagne
On this day

“Can you smell the irony?”
“I can't say that I can”
“That's right, you're not enlightened like the rest, an anomaly at best”

I like it jaded, I like it numb
I appreciate appreciating anosmium
Hold you breath and look around
You're still in the same town

Overrated like the word
I'm feeling sedated
This is absurd

Can I stop trying now?
I need to sit down
