Novocaine
Tim Schou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my hands don't quiver quite as much
Cause ever since you walked into the room
You changed my broken point of view
Even when the world goes down in flames
I can't feel a thing cause you're my novocaine
My temper doesn't tick like it used to
And my body doesn't shiver when I'm with you
Cause ever since you walked into the room
You changed my broken point of view
Even when the world goes down in flames
I can't feel a thing cause you're my novocaine
I can't feel a thing cause you're my novocaine
The lyrics of Tim Schou's Novocaine describe the transformative power of love on an individual's physical and emotional senses. The chorus of the song emphasizes the numbness felt by the songwriter in the face of external chaos due to the calming and soothing effect of love. The metaphorical use of the term "novocaine" helps to drive home this idea, as it is a painkiller that numbs physical sensations. The singer's ability to feel nothing through it even when the world is falling apart is an indication of how heavily he relies on the love he has attained to cope with the turmoil around him.
The verse then continues with the same theme of how love has transformed the singer's personality. The poet talks about how his blood no longer boils, and his temper doesn't tick like it used to. These descriptions indicate the earlier volatile and maybe harmful condition of his personality. The choice of words like "broken," "shiver," and "quiver" indicate that before the love, the singer was in a much fragile mental state. But, everything has changed ever since love has entered his life, and this shift in temper and trembling reactions can only be attributed to the love's impact in his life.
Overall, the song points to the idea that love can be the ultimate escape from the turmoil of the world. The chaos that can be overwhelming to an individual can be numbed and rendered insignificant by the new perspective and stability that love can provide.

My blood stream doesn't burn like it used to
I don't feel the same intense emotions as I used to
And my hands don't quiver quite as much
I'm not as nervous or anxious as I used to be
Cause ever since you walked into the room
My feelings changed the moment you entered the room
You changed my broken point of view
You helped me see things in a different, healthier way
Even when the world goes down in flames
No matter how bad things get
I can't feel a thing cause you're my novocaine
Your presence numbs any pain or negative emotion
My temper doesn't tick like it used to
I don't get as easily irritated as I used to
And my body doesn't shiver when I'm with you
I feel safe and calm around you
I can't feel a thing cause you're my novocaine
Your love and companionship are the only things that matter and give me comfort
