Auf Achse is a song about unrequited love by the band Franz Ferdinand, from the album Franz Ferdinand. "Auf Achse" literally means "on the axle" in German, a common metaphor for "on the road" and also the title of a 1980s TV series about truckers.

The last lines reference Jesus's crucifixion:

And now I'm nailed above you, gushing from my side
It's with your sins that you have killed me
Thinking of your sins I die
Thinking how you'd let them touch you
How you'd never realise
That I'm ripped and hang forsaken
Knowing never will I rise

This song is about a lonely trucker, or so Alex Kapranos often states when he introduces the song live. The song's title can be misspelt, "Auf Asche" which literally means "on ashes".
