Novocaine
TigerSwan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've told a ton at last, but as the thing we care for eachother.
I keep coming, you keep running.
Wanna think we'll leave for more than this.
I keep coming, you keep running.
Wanna think we'll mean for more than this.
Novocaine.
I guess you're my,
Novocaine.
I think you might be,
The only thing that keeps me from a Saturday.
I think you might be,
The only thing that keeps me in reality.
I guess you're my,
Novocaine.
I guess you're my,
Novocaine.
I don't know where you are,
But it kills me that I wanna.
I guess your friends are fine,
Holding hands with another.
I keep coming, you keep running.
Wanna think we'll leave for more than this.
I keep coming, you keep running.
Wanna think we'll mean for more than this.
I guess you're my,
Novocaine.
I guess you're my,
Novocaine.
I think you might be,
The only thing that keeps me from a Saturday.
I think you might be,
The only thing that keeps me in reality.
I guess you're my,
Novocaine.
I guess you're my,
Novocaine.
I think you might be,
The only thing that keeps me from a Saturday.
I think you might be,
The only thing that keeps me in reality.
I guess you're my,
Novocaine.
I guess you're my,
Novocaine.
Novocaine.
Novocaine.
I guess you're my,
Novocaine.
I guess you're my,
Novocaine.
The song "Novocaine" by TigerSwan is a heartfelt ballad about a relationship that is ending. The "crazy times" they've had in the past are now over, and one person is leaving for another. While they have shared a lot with each other and care for one another, they can't seem to make it work. The lyrics speak to the frustration and confusion that comes with trying to find meaning in a relationship that seems to be slipping away.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "I guess you're my Novocaine" several times. Novocaine is a numbing agent that is often used in dentistry and surgery to dull pain. In this context, it seems to suggest that the relationship was a way for the singer to escape from the pain and stress of their everyday lives. The line "I think you might be the only thing that keeps me in reality" also speaks to this idea. The relationship was a way for them to keep their feet on the ground and stay grounded.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing and sadness. The singer doesn't know where their partner is, and it's clear that they miss them. They want to believe that the relationship is more than what it seems, that it has a deeper meaning, but they can't seem to make it work. The song ends with the repeated line "I guess you're my Novocaine," suggesting that even though the relationship is over, it will always be a part of them, a way for them to numb their pain and find meaning in their lives.
