fillers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another half-assed approach
Another cigarette to die for
Or another song
We keep throwing things
Some ought to stick
The more we wait, the less we care
God damn, guess we'll have to call it a night
Guess we'll have to call it a night
'Cus this might be the end
The back end
The pictures fall off your frame
The walls remind you to mend
What's next
The end
The back end
The pictures fall off your frame
The walls remind you to mend
What's next
And now look we reached the end
A final stance, a final verse
The bridge is short
A moment goes
Your legs give up
A blink and we're both gone
A different line the ocean throws
Or tries it's best
The simpler times
Become a memory
'Cus this might be the end
The back end
The pictures fall off your frame
The walls remind you to mend
What's next
The end
The back end
The pictures fall off your frame
The walls remind you to mend
What's next
The lyrics of Fillers' song "3 a.m." convey a sense of resignation and acceptance of the inevitable. The verse "So it goes I guess, another half-assed approach, another cigarette to die for, or another song" paints a picture of apathy towards life's challenges and a tendency to resort to temporary fixes. The line "We keep throwing things, some ought to stick" suggests a sense of desperation, as if trying everything and anything just to make things work.
The chorus "It's 3 a.m again, god damn, guess we'll have to call it a night" captures the feeling of exhaustion - both physically and emotionally. The repetition of the line "The end, the back end, the pictures fall off your frame, the walls remind you to mend, what's next" is almost like a mantra, with each repetition drilling in the message that there is no going back, only moving forward.

So first we need to be clear about the term 'palpitation': The textbook definition of the word is ' heart beats that the patient (or subject) is aware of'.
Palpitations may occur in the following instances:1) Increased rate of heart beat; 2) Increase strength of heartbeat; 3) Irregular heartbeat, and so on.
You ask whether your symptoms are a result of an 'allergy' to the LA l(local anaesthetic). My sense is that it is more likely to be either fear of the dental setting/dental procedures rather than as a result of anything pharmacological ie., that it has a 'psychogenic' rather than 'pharmacological' cause.
If at all the symptoms are pharmacologically mediated, I would put it down to a drug 'intolerance', rather than to a true or classic 'allergy'.
What is the difference between 'drug intolerance' and 'drug allergy': The problem lies with the misuse of the word 'allergy', in that the layman often conflates 'intolerance' with 'allergy'.
An 'allergy' by definition is an 'immunological response', which, again by definition, is an antigen-antibody interaction.
Palpitation could very well be the result of an (true) allergy. Allergies do have cardiovascular effects such as general dilation/loss of smooth muscle tone of the vasculature (ie, the network of blood vessels) with a drop in blood pressure (ie., anaphylactic shock). Palpitations are perceived since the heart has to pump harder (ie. the strength of the contraction increases) in order to maintain blood supply to the vital organs (of which the brain is most important).
However, in the case of a true allergy, palpitation would not be the only symptom. The constellation of symptoms in the case of an allergy include some or all of the following:
1) Dermatological: Weals, hives, eczema, pruritus;
2) Swelling of the mucous membranes: conjunctiva of the eyes, nasal membranes, inner lining of the oral cavity (your classic 'angioneurotic œdema'), difficulty with swallowing due to swelling of the œsophagus, etc.
3) Respiratory symptoms: broncospasm (constriction of the trachea and bronchii) with asthma like symptoms, rhinitis, sneezing, stridor, etc.
Drug intolerance is defined as the 'the inability of the individual to tolerate the adverse effects of a drug (ex., GI symptoms due to supplemental iron therapy) at therapeutic or sub-therapeutic doses'.
All pharmacological agents are toxic above a certain threshold. When drug manufacturers state the toxic threshold (Minimum Toxic Concentration or MTC), they state it for the average population. Individuals on either end of the bell curve have a different reaction to the drug at the Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC; = minimum concentration of drug within the blood that will give rise to the intended therapeutic effect).
To the right are individuals who develop toxicity to the drug well below both the MTC and MEC, whereas those to the left develop toxicity only at doses at or close to the Lethal Dose (LD)
The reason for this variability in tolerance may be explained by variation in the physiological make -up of individuals, which in turn is governed by genetic factors.
The palpitations you reference may be the result of several causes within the dental context:
1) Fear of pain/fear of the whizz of the dental handpiece/fear of the procedure/fear of pain after the procedure, and on and on.
2) The active ingredient of the local anaesthetic, viz., 'lidocaine' (also known by the brand names 'xylocaine', lignocaine, etc.)
3) The adjuvant in the LA (local anaesthetic) preparation, viz. 'adrenaline' (also known as epinephrine'.
Lidocaine belongs to the 'amide' group of local anaesthetic agents. It is pharmacologically related to cocaine, which itself is mildly anaesthetic.
Lidocaine exerts its pharmocological action in the following manner. It alters signal conduction in neurons by prolonging the inactivation of the fast voltage-gated Na+ channels in the neuronal cell membrane responsible for action potential propagation.With sufficient blockage, the voltage-gated sodium channels will not open and an action potential will not be generated, and therefore pain is not perceived. Careful titration allows for a high degree of selectivity in the blockage of sensory neurons, whereas higher concentrations also affect other types of neurons (including motor neurons) .
This very same action of lidocaine is responsible for its cardiovascular action, which is what you seem to be referencing: Blocking sodium channels in the conduction system, as well as the muscle cells of the heart, raises the depolarization threshold, making the heart less likely to initiate or conduct early action potentials that may cause 'arrhythmia'. Arrhythmia is the term used to describe an irregular heart beat (and therefore an irregular pulse).
High doses of lignocaine may not only effect local anaesthesia, but can 'spill over', as it were, and effect cardiovascular changes. (''Effect in medical parlance = to bring about).
Additionally, in the case of LA preparations for dental procedures, lidocaine (the active ingredient) is admixed with with small amounts of adrenaline (= epinephrine). This is done in order to 1) prolong the effect of lidocaine, & 2) to reduce bleeding.
Your cardiovascular symptoms may also be the result of adrenaline.
Adrenaline is the 'fight-or-flight hormone and neuro-transmitter (of the sympathetic nervous system), and it effects this does this by increasing blood flow to muscles, output of the heart by acting on the SA node of the heart (which is responsible for generation and propagation of the heart beat), pupil dilation response and blood sugar level. It does this by binding to alpha and beta receptor of the cells of several types of tissues.
Lastly as regards your palpitation, I would first rule out psychogenic causes. If at all the symptoms are pharmacologic in origin, then I would suspect it is more of a case of intolerance (or lowered tolerance) to either (or both) lidocaine and/or adrenaline/epinephrine.
True allergies to lignocaine are extremely rare. The only way to determine if it is an allergy is to do a dermal test/skin prick test with the drug.
Hope this answers some of your questions, albeit in a round about sort of way. 😃😃

Two months ago, I had a face lift, a neck lift with liposuction under the chin. Also had my upper eyelids done, all by one of the top three plastic surgeons in my city. Results: The crepey turkey neck is gone. The jowels have disappeared, my nasolabial folds vanished. I have great eyelids where. I can now apply my eyeshadow like a model. The oval jawline is restored. I can’t stop looking at myself! I cried with joy at how young and beautiful I am again, it was worth every penny! Please, no fillers! I could have kept going with that and many more options.. I am sixty-seven years young; I will not try to look like a twenty year old. Oh! and foundation wears like a dream. Choose carefully and only accept the procedure from a real client who will tell you they were happy with the surgeon who did the procedure. This is serious surgery and you could be disfigured with the wrong doctor. Especially do not choose on based on YouTube reviews.
@rashaelhassan9580
Who is your doctor please ?
@ellenmorse8559
@Rasha Elhassan I live in Canada. Would you consider coming here? I would then ask my surgeon if this would be agreeable to him. I know that there is a six month wait and he would need one consultation with you before the procedure. On the day of, you will have to remain overnight and believe me, the private hospital is luxurious and staff is wonderful. You will need to see him one week later and again two weeks later.
@saminadhanani3598
I live in Canada and am 56. Seriously looking at a face lift. Would you share the name of your doctor by DM please?
@bunnykatsoracle3275
Good for you!!
@bunnykatsoracle3275
@Ellen Morse ong please give us the name! I'm in Canada too
@beverlydee5357
So refreshing to hear a surgeon who is educated on the stages of aging and knows how to combat it mindfully. A true artist has that kind of eye, and you’re lucky when you find one! Thank you 😊
@aeducator1
Agreed. He is absolutely right.
@emmaolson4040
As a 20 year old, I almost got some jawline filler just because. After watching this, you really opened my eyes to the reality of it and I’ve canceled my appointment. Thank you so much for sharing!
@aeducator1
Good for you.
