Novocaine
Bulls Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems to me you couldn't live
Well maybe you should start again
Your hourglass was half full
To begin with
Maybe you should trade yours in
Like a neutron bomb
Why don't you just light the fuse and run
How long has it been
Since you felt right anyway
How long has it been since
We picked apart your brain
You're gonna feel a little prick
You need your Novocaine
You need your Novocaine
You need your Novocaine
You need your Novocaine
Half apart so
It seems to me that peers left you in the dust
You were clocked out on the
Finest hours of your life
You lost your card
It was bones that broke your fall
It was me
No ones around you
I'm your only company
You need your Novocaine
You need your Novocaine
You need your Novocaine
You need your Novocaine
The lyrics of Bulls Blood's song "Novocaine" seem to speak to a sense of detachment and numbness that the singer is experiencing. The opening lines "Half apart so, it seems to me you couldn't live, well maybe you should start again" suggest that the person is feeling disconnected from life, as if they are only partially present. The line "Maybe you should trade yours in" could be interpreted as a suggestion to let go of their current mindset and try something new, to seek a different perspective.
The mention of an hourglass being half full implies that there was once a sense of optimism or fulfillment, but now that feeling is fading. The line "You're clutching that saddle like a neutron bomb, why don't you just light the fuse and run" suggests that the person is holding onto their pain or problems tightly, but perhaps it's time to let go and face those issues head-on. The mention of feeling right and picking apart the brain could imply a search for clarity and understanding, a desire to regain a sense of purpose or direction.
The chorus repeats the line "You need your Novocaine," which can be interpreted as a metaphorical longing for something to numb the pain, to provide a temporary escape or relief from the emotional turmoil. The use of "Novocaine" can be seen as a reference to anesthesia, suggesting the need for a numbness or detachment from the difficulties of life.
Overall, the song seems to explore feelings of disconnection, longing for relief, and the struggle to find purpose and meaning in a world that can feel overwhelming.
