Teeth Lyrics
Electrified harmonious
I think I'll take it out to the streets
Will somebody please help me
Call the doctor but don't call the police
Are you into the beat?
Are you into the beat?
I can feel it in my teeth
I can feel it in my teeth
I can feel it in my teeth
And it's driving me mad
I can feel it in my teeth, oh
I can feel it in my teeth and it's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy, it's driving me mad
I wish I were an astronaut
Space case planting the seed
Put me in the hospital
Lock me up and throw out the key
Hey, hey, hey, hey, are you into the beat?
I'm the king of the beat
I can feel it in my teeth
I can feel it in my teeth
I can feel it in my teeth
And it's driving me mad
I can feel it in my teeth, oh
I can feel it in my teeth and it's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy, it's driving me mad
Now shut up and dance
I can feel it in my teeth
I can feel it in my teeth
And it's driving me mad
I can feel it in my teeth, oh
I can feel it in my teeth and it's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy, it's driving me mad
I think I'll take it out to the streets
Will somebody please help me
Call the doctor but don't call the police
Are you into the beat?
I can feel it in my teeth
I can feel it in my teeth
And it's driving me mad
I can feel it in my teeth, oh
I can feel it in my teeth and it's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy, it's driving me mad
Space case planting the seed
Put me in the hospital
Lock me up and throw out the key
I'm the king of the beat
I can feel it in my teeth
I can feel it in my teeth
And it's driving me mad
I can feel it in my teeth, oh
I can feel it in my teeth and it's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy, it's driving me mad
I can feel it in my teeth
And it's driving me mad
I can feel it in my teeth, oh
I can feel it in my teeth and it's driving me crazy
It's driving me crazy, it's driving me mad

For one, Matt has revealed in many of his concerts that this song is about love, but I see it more as a love of music rather than a romantic relationship.
Obviously, "Are you into the beat?" suggests this, but on a more personal level, I've found that when music is involved, I really start to feel a tingling sensation in my gums and teeth. It's not entirely pleasant, but at the same time, I still don't want to stop the music. Even so, many a time, I get so into the music that it often triggers stressful memories or leads me to think about the past, depending on the song. Music is powerful.
The dialogue proceeding the song talks about a man that is famous and relishes in it, as he says, "when did I get so eaten up by mobs and covered in a cloak of popularity?" and that he "worships the sound of his own voice." This could also mean that possibly a songwriter starts to lose his sanity with all of the popularity and begins to become self-serving and believing he can do anything, as the lyrics say, "I think I'll take it up to the streets" and "I wish I were an astronaut."
I love this song and I don't even know why. XD
