Novocaine
Boys of Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So put all of your anger on
In the truly gruesome do we trust
I will always land on you like a sucker punch
Singing I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare
I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare
You would never sing along
Cast them out 'cause this is our culture
These new flocks are nothing but vultures
Because they took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with novocaine and now I'm just numb
And now I'm just numb
Don't mind me, I'm just a son of a gun
So don't stop, don't stop 'till your heart goes numb
And now I'm just numb
I don't feel a thing for you
I'm just a problem that doesn't wanna be solved
So could you please hold your applause
Take this sideshow and all its freaks
And turn it into the silver screen dream
Singing I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare
I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare
If you knew, knew what the bluebirds sing at you,
You would never sing along
Cast them out 'cause this is our culture
These new flocks are nothing but vultures
Because they took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with novocaine and now I'm just numb
And now I'm just numb
And don't mind me, I'm just a son of a gun
So don't stop, don't stop 'till your heart goes numb
And now I'm just numb
I don't feel a thing for you
I said one day the bell is gonna swallow me whole
And I feel like a photo that's been overexposed
Because they took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with novocaine and now I'm just numb
And now I'm just numb
Don't mind me, I'm just a son of a gun
So don't stop, don't stop 'till your heart goes numb
And now I'm just numb
I don't feel a thing for you
The song "Novocaine" by Boys of Fall is a powerful commentary on how society and its culture impact our ability to love and feel. The lyrics speak of being numb and not feeling anything, as if our emotions have been numbed by outside forces. The song touches on themes of anger, disillusionment, and a loss of identity. The use of the black ski mask and the reference to being a problem that doesn't want to be solved suggests a sense of rebellion against society and its norms.
The chorus, which repeats the phrase "If you knew, knew what the bluebirds sing at you, you would never sing along," speaks to the idea that we are all following a cultural script that has been imposed on us. The bluebirds represent society and its norms, and "casting them out" means rejecting those norms and creating our own culture. The lyrics also suggest a physical numbness, perhaps from the use of drugs or other means of escape.
Overall, "Novocaine" is a powerful message about the impact of culture on our ability to feel and love, and the need to reject those forces and create our own identity.
Line by Line Meaning
This is a black, black ski mask song
This song is filled with anger and desire for revenge
So put all of your anger on
Let your anger fuel your actions
In the truly gruesome do we trust
We believe in doing whatever it takes, even if it's violent or horrific
I will always land on you like a sucker punch
I will attack you when you least expect it
Singing I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare
I am the thing you fear most
If you knew, knew what the bluebirds sing at you
If you knew what the world was really like, you would be terrified
You would never sing along
You would never be able to face the truth
Cast them out 'cause this is our culture
Reject those who don't belong to our community
These new flocks are nothing but vultures
These outsiders are only here to take advantage of us
Because they took our love and they filled it up
They corrupted our values and replaced them with something numb and lifeless
Filled it up with novocaine and now I'm just numb
They numbed our emotions so we wouldn't realize what they were doing
And don't mind me, I'm just a son of a gun
I'm not a hero, just someone who is willing to fight
So don't stop, don't stop 'till your heart goes numb
Keep fighting until you can no longer feel anything
I'm just a problem that doesn't wanna be solved
I'm a complicated issue that can't be easily fixed
So could you please hold your applause
Don't celebrate me, I'm not doing this for recognition
Take this sideshow and all its freaks
Take our marginalized group and empower us
And turn it into the silver screen dream
Make us the heroes of our own story
I said one day the bell is gonna swallow me whole
I know that eventually my time will come and I'll have to pay for my actions
And I feel like a photo that's been overexposed
I feel like I've been seen too much and I'm at risk of being caught
I don't feel a thing for you
I have no emotional connection to you anymore

[Verse 1]
I lack the right words
I get so lost inside my head
And I'm not good with it
And if I told you I'm a mess
Would you let me lose myself inside your love again
Yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Numb me up just like novocaine
Running through my veins
And I, oh I can't feel it now
Slipping away from everything but you
Do you feel that too?
[Chorus]
In a moment I feel so weightless
I'm so in love with you
I'm so lost in everything single word that you say
Every breath that you take
So numb me up like novocaine
[Verse 2]
And when I'm gone
When the seasons change
It just feels wrong when you're so far away
Cause what is home if you're not there with me
What is air if it's too hard to breathe, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Numb me up just like novocaine
Running through my veins
And I, oh I can't feel it now
Slipping away from everything but you
Do you feel that too?
[Chorus]
In a moment I feel so weightless
I'm so in love with you
I'm so lost in everything single word that you say
Every breath that you take
So numb me up like novocaine
[Bridge]
It's just so quiet now
And the moment's setting in with every press of your lips
And the shift of your hips
It's just, it's just a feeling that sinks right in my bones
And when we're alone and the lights down low
I just can't help myself
And I want nothing else
I just can't help myself
And I want nothing else but you
So numb me up like novocaine
[Chorus]
In a moment I feel so weightless
I'm so in love with you
I'm so lost in everything single word that you say
Every breath that you take
So numb me up like novocaine
In a moment I feel so weightless
I'm so in love with you
I'm so lost in everything single word that you say
Every breath that you take
So numb me up like novocaine

Exaclty
@tori4887
You don’t even know what this song means to me these days. I share a Spotify with someone I love but I’m not with. Anytime he catches me listening to my sad songs, I hear the first three notes of this song because he changes the song to this one. Every. Time. And it makes me happy. This song means something I never thought it’d mean. So thank you..
@Binkleburg
Hopefully things worked out?
@tori4887
@Jordan Binkley unfortunately no. He screwed me out of my dream and my studio. Ugh!
@ReallyMichaelRicc
After hearing your song No Good For Me on a Spotify Daily Mix, I decided to try y’all’s other stuff, and I fell in love. I’ve been going through a break up, and every song y’all have made speaks volumes with me. Y’all make an atmosphere no other band has been able to make for me. Can’t wait to see more.
@CharlesAnthonyLerasan
Been listening and singing this song for weeks. The chorus is very emotional and the music , man I can close my eyes and just shout NOVOCAINE.
I just can feel the love in each line. I can imagine being weightless!
