Novocaine
Tsunami J. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I felt her pain yesterday in her little wonder world
Iβ€²m okay but I'm counting all the shit that makes it hers
Help me reach novocaine β€²cause it's something man it hurts
Let's retreat go to space β€²cause I heard weβ€²re stuck on earth

Hope the satellites
Don't let us think but the sound of chatter
Iβ€²ve been out of line
But I'ma sink with the ones who matter
Sheβ€²ll just hit decline
'Cause she canβ€²t see she's the one that shattered
I'm just paralyzed
From all the fights with the ones who scattered

Girl donβ€²t you see Iβ€²m not weak
I'm just low inside my world
Itβ€²s a feat we're a team
But weβ€²re finding out our worth
I'm a fiend for my dreams
Youβ€²re the kind that hates to work
So you'll freak then I'll leave
Let the cycle leave us cursed

Iβ€²m just numbinβ€² I feel nothing I just love these dips and rides
I've been stumbling out in public
β€²Cause I'm fumbling through my dive
Letβ€²s discover let's uncover letβ€²s recover from the tries
I'm just loving I'm just dumbinβ€²
I just numb right through her cries

I felt her pain yesterday in her little wonder world
Iβ€²m okay but I'm counting all the shit that makes it hers
Help me reach novocaine β€²cause it's something man it hurts
Letβ€²s retreat go to space 'cause I heard weβ€²re stuck on earth

Hope the satellites
Don't let us think but the sound of chatter
I've been out of line
But Iβ€²ma sink with the ones who matter
Sheβ€²ll just hit decline
'Cause she canβ€²t see she's the one that shattered




Iβ€²m just paralyzed
From all the fights with the ones who scattered

Overall Meaning

In Tsunami J.'s song "Novocaine," the lyrics explore themes of pain, escapism, and emotional numbness. The singer starts by acknowledging someone else's pain in their "little wonder world," indicating that they have been empathetic towards this person. However, they also express that they themselves are okay, but are still counting all the things that bring pain to the other person's life. This suggests a sense of emotional fatigue and perhaps a feeling of being overwhelmed by the pain of others.


The singer seeks relief from this pain by wanting to reach a state of numbness, symbolized by the reference to novocaine. They express a desire to escape from the troubles of the world by retreating to space, highlighting a longing for a place where they can be free from pain. The reference to being stuck on Earth could represent feeling trapped in a cycle of suffering.


The lyrics also touch on a sense of being disconnected from reality. The singer mentions their hope that the constant noise and distractions of satellites will prevent them from having to think or confront their own pain. They confess to being out of line and sinking with the ones who truly matter to them, indicating a willingness to support and stand by those who genuinely care about them. However, they also feel paralyzed by the fights and conflicts with those who have drifted away, suggesting a sense of emotional turmoil and the toll it takes on them.


In the second verse, the singer addresses someone directly, possibly a partner or love interest. They assert that they are not weak, but rather experiencing inner turmoil. The singer acknowledges the challenges they face as a team and the need to discover their self-worth together. However, they also recognize the other person's aversion to hard work and predict a cycle of conflict and separation.


The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the longing for numbness, the burden of pain, and the desire to escape from it all.


Overall, "Novocaine" delves into the complexities of emotional pain and the longing for respite and escape. It explores themes of empathy, disconnection, and the struggle to maintain relationships amidst personal struggles.

AY MANE πŸ–€πŸŒŠ

This is the first track to my 4th album cycle titled β€œCrystal Sky.” This cycle will start off with β€œLost Ocean” vibes and slowly descend into a darker vibe that’s similar to my other two albums but more refined. It will basically just be a combination of most of the sounds you guys have heard from me so far plus some new ones. I hope y’all enjoy this one! It’s a personal favorite from this album cycle πŸ–€πŸ˜˜πŸŒŠ

There will be no AMV for this one unfortunately but I love y’all πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€
