Discover the story of the song > Madam Truffle – Major Organ and the Adding Machine

The lyrics are about Madam Truffle, who loves baking and has a bakery where people line up for her treats. She bakes all kinds of pastries, like tarts, and even shapes them into things like tigers and Napoleon Bonapartes. At night, before she goes to sleep, she looks inside a box that she keeps hidden, which fills her with fear. The birds outside her window sing to her in the morning to help her wake up. She stacks the pastries on the shelves so people can help themselves, and some parents say she gets help from elves. However, she is sad because she will never know the love of a partner, and she thinks no one would understand the contents of the box. Overall, the song is about Madam Truffle's love for baking and her feelings of loneliness.
