Deep in the woods of western Pennsylvania vocoders hum amongst the flowers and synths bubble under the leaf-strewn ground while flutes whistle in the wind and beats bounce to the soft drizzle of a warm acid rain. As the sun peeks out from between the clouds, the organic aural concoction of Black Moth Super Rainbow starts to glisten above the trees.

The lyrics to "Tooth Decay" by Black Moth Super Rainbow are interestingly ambiguous, leaving much up to the interpretation of the listener. However, one possible explanation for the repetition of the lines "keep blowing bubbles, I can spin without you" is that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they don't need someone they previously relied on. In this sense, the "bubbles" could represent the person's distraction or illusion that they needed in order to cope with loneliness or insecurity. The repetition of the line could be seen as a mantra or affirmation to convince themselves of their own self-sufficiency.
Another possible way to interpret these lyrics is to view the singer as someone who is trapped in a cycle of escapism or addiction. The singer may be using the bubbles as a symbol for drugs, alcohol or other vices that have temporarily lifted them from their troubles but are ultimately not sustainable. The repetition of the line suggests that the singer is not fully convinced of their ability to stay away from these vices, and that they need constant reminders or distractions to resist temptation.
Overall, the lyrics to "Tooth Decay" are open to interpretation, but they convey a sense of fear, loneliness, and the longing for self-sufficiency and freedom.
