Cover art for 551 lyrics by Dessa Darling

"It's like the anesthesia despite the man that leaves ya"

I always heard this line as "UP the anesthesia, SPITE the man that leaves ya".

Also, I just realized that this line: "A man can keep you sane five-hundred-and-fifty days/A year and a half, give or take an afternoon" is a reference to the title: "551". I'm assuming it's about the day a relationship failed? The first verse seems to suggest adultery?
