Novocaine
Fall Out Boy Uzi Lyrics

Because they took our love and they filled it up
Our love was taken away from us and replaced by something else

Filled me up with Novocaine and now I’m just numb
Novocaine is used as a metaphor for the emotional numbness they feel

Now I’m just numb
They are emotionally numb and unable to feel

Don’t' mind me I’m just a son of a gun
They feel like they are going through the motions and not in control of their actions

Don’t stop don't stop till your heart goes numb
They are trying to distract themselves from the emotional pain by keeping busy

Now I’m just stuck
They feel trapped in their emotional state

I don’t feel a thing for you
They have lost their emotional connection to the person they once loved

This is a black black ski mask song
This is a song about anger and violence

So put all of your anger on
Use this song as an outlet for your anger

In the truly gruesome do we trust
They are putting their trust in something dark and violent

I will always land on you like a sucker punch
They will always catch their target off-guard and hit them hard emotionally

Singing I am the worst, I am the worst nightmare
They see themselves as a destructive force

If you knew, knew what the blue birds sang at you
If you knew the true intentions of those around you, you would never trust them

You, would never sing along
You would never be fooled by their deception

Cast them out because this is our culture
Reject those who go against the group's values and beliefs

These new flocks are nothing but vultures
Those who try to join the group are seen as opportunistic and predatory

Uzi, Fall Out Boy
Uzi and Fall Out Boy are collaborating on this song

Lately I've been cooking up the blue flame
Uzi has been working on creating something new and exciting

And I'm hanging with the [?] do 'caine
Uzi is spending time with people who do drugs

They all tweaking at the [?]
They are all high on drugs

I showed up to the party with the bling-bling
Uzi showed up to the party wearing a lot of jewelry

Got a new chain every single time the news change
Uzi buys new jewelry constantly

I can never do [?] or it's too change
Uzi can't stick to one thing for too long because he gets bored easily

Judging how things turned out I'm guessing things do change
Uzi is reflecting on how things change over time

[?] like loose change
People are disposable and easily replaced

Niggas acting brand new off the new fame
People are changing their behavior because of their newfound fame

Swear this shit is lame [?]
Uzi is expressing frustration with the superficiality of the music industry

I've been getting twisted off the liquor and the champagne
Uzi has been drinking a lot

Pirex [?]
Uzi is referring to Pyrex glass, which is often used to make crack pipes

All they do is ball, all you niggas small, small change
Uzi sees others in the music industry as being unsuccessful and unimportant

I stay with a brand new new and brand new and I'm ready to blaze
Uzi always has something new and exciting to offer

Oh, I say one day the valley is gonna swallow me whole
Uzi fears that he will be consumed by his own success and lose himself

(Hijack the hype, hijack the hype)
They are taking control of the narrative and creating their own hype

I feel like a photo that’s been overexposed
They feel like they have been in the spotlight for too long and are starting to lose their authenticity
