Arms Tonite

about this song

"Arms Tonite" is the tenth song from Canadian indie rock band Mother Mother’s second album, O My Heart. The opening chorus could be likened to falling in love or being too high. Some also argue that since la petite mort – is a french term for an orgasm that literally translates to “a little death”, it could allude to an orgasm. However, the band has not confirmed this is what the song is about. The implication is that the singer had to cause their “little death” themselves (masturbation)
