naww-Pink Floyd used to like to give nonsense titles to thier songs.
I think the title is a joking PLAY on axe murder AND playing on the guitar-or axe;
I think this is just a vivid dream, that comes to climax, then recedes.
I love the way the song quietly and delicately builds to a crescendo, then just as delicately fades away....the middle eastern scales add a sense of sensual mystery to it all.
the song was meant to be appreciated as it was under the influence of acid or pot-it had its own meanings howerver covert.
