Teeth
Dingus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Through the plaque and tartar stains,
I brush apart and excavate
To show an adequate display of a smile for you girl

Dental floss and Listerine
Enough to force these gums to bleed
I'll make my teeth shine extra clean for your own to meet mine
Because my words lack romance
So I brush my teeth

Inject some Novocaine
Or laughing gas to numb the pain
I'll put the Brits to shame,
But it might remain insufficient
I just can't understand
What it takes to be your man
Because I have brushed so hard,
My enamel's gone
And it's only because of you

And I forgot my hygiene years ago
Until I saw your pretty face
Your essence gave me reason
To go brush my teeth





Hardcore, hardcore, hardcore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dingus's song Teeth are an expression of love and the lengths that someone will go to impress the object of their affections. The song describes a man's diligent efforts to maintain his oral hygiene in order to present an attractive smile to his love interest. It highlights the importance of physical appearance in relationships and how it can impact a person's self-esteem and confidence.


The opening lines of the song, "Through the plaque and tartar stains, I brush apart and excavate," suggest that the man is going through a rigorous dental cleaning routine to clean and remove all of the build-up on his teeth. He is willing to endure the pain of flossing and using mouthwash to produce a "shiny" and healthy smile. The repeated line "because my words lack romance, so I brush my teeth" emphasizes the character's willingness to go the extra mile to show his affection.


The chorus introduces the use of anaesthesia, "inject some Novocaine" or "laughing gas," as a method to numb any pain and anxiety that may arise from dental procedures. The use of British teeth as a reference implies that the character is trying to outdo the stereotype of bad British oral hygiene, ultimately proving how much he is willing to do to impress his love interest. The final line, "And it's only because of you," reinforces the idea that the man's efforts are entirely motivated by his love for the girl.


Line by Line Meaning

Through the plaque and tartar stains,
Despite the build-up of dirt and decay on my teeth,


I brush apart and excavate
I vigorously remove the debris to reveal my pearly whites,


To show an adequate display of a smile for you girl
In order to impress and please you with my smile,


Dental floss and Listerine
I use these oral hygiene products,


Enough to force these gums to bleed
Although it causes my gums to bleed in the process,


I'll make my teeth shine extra clean for your own to meet mine
I diligently clean and polish my teeth to match the radiance of your smile,


Because my words lack romance
Because I struggle with expressing my love verbally,


So I brush my teeth
I compensate by taking extra care of my dental hygiene,


Inject some Novocaine
I'm willing to undergo pain-numbing procedures like Novocaine injections,


Or laughing gas to numb the pain
Or use laughing gas to lessen the discomfort,


I'll put the Brits to shame,
Not even the famously good British teeth can match my dental hygiene efforts,


But it might remain insufficient
Despite my efforts, it may not be enough to win your heart,


I just can't understand
I'm at a loss as to


What it takes to be your man
What else I need to do to prove that I can be with you,


Because I have brushed so hard,
Because I have applied extreme pressure in brushing my teeth,


My enamel's gone
I've worn away my tooth enamel,


And it's only because of you
All because I want to be worthy of your affection,


And I forgot my hygiene years ago
Before you came along, I neglected my oral hygiene,


Until I saw your pretty face
But your beauty reignited my self-care habits,


Your essence gave me reason
Your presence motivated me to improve myself,


To go brush my teeth
Especially my dental hygiene,


Hardcore, hardcore, hardcore
I'm committed to this, it's not just a passing phase,

Las elecciones cinematográficas y artísticas son brillantes. Referencias culturales europeas realmente interesantes. Ojalá la cultura europea se representara más a menudo tan bellamente. No puedo dejar de decir "oh, esto es hermoso" a lo largo del video. Luz, en serio... el que se encargue de la iluminación, genial

This guy motivates me to brush my teeth and makes it look satisfying, but when I brush my teeth it feels hard and depressing.
