Novocaine Lyrics

Impression and suffering
Depression and hostility
Obsession in vanity
All on the cover page

[Bridge]
Soaking in
Saturates
Turns to grey

[Chorus]
All these things
Novocaine
So we don't feel at all
Suppression and genicide
Exploitation and homicide
Perfection and suicide
All on the cover page

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

We're desensitized to every day
To this life that we wage
So we don't feel at all

We don't feel at all
We don't feel at all
We don't feel at all
We don't feel at all

All these things
Novocaine
Too desentized every day
To this life that we wage
So don't feel at all

We don't feel at all
We don't feel at all

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is really good. Got it off the CD/DVD LE of Chapter V. I think this song is about problems and stuff that's going on in the world that they have to take. The Novocaine is how they escape it.

I would say that all the things (depression, hostility, obsession in vanity, etc) that cover our newspapers, tv and the net are the novocaine, making us desentized from our lives.

Note: Novocaine is a drug is used as an anesthetic within dentistry
