Lyrics
Oh Benzocaine
Direct reference to Benzocaine, a topical anesthetic used to numb pain
I think it's a crime
Expressing a feeling that something is unjust or wrong
That when you look in your baby's eyes
Feeling disconnected or unable to relate to one's own child
You won't see mine
Emphasizing the inability to establish a connection with the child
You won't see mine
Reiteration of the emotional disconnect from one's child
The memories will stay
Recognition that memories will endure despite mental deterioration
The brain will start to fade
Indicating the decline of cognitive function over time
Boredom creeps in jade
Boredom settling in, possibly due to a lack of sensation or feeling
With God on Benzocaine
Suggesting a dissociative state or feeling distant from God due to the influence of Benzocaine
Oh Benzocaine
Repeated reference to Benzocaine, emphasizing its significance or impact
Oh Benzocaine
-Oh Benzocaine
-Oh Benzocaine
-Chalk white, gobshite
Using descriptive language ('chalk white,' 'gobshite') to paint a vivid, possibly negative, image
Bleeding gums
Physical manifestation of distress or unease, bleeding gums being a side effect
I thought the Benzocaine was supposed to numb
Expressing surprise or disappointment that Benzocaine isn't working as expected to numb pain
Supposed to numb
Repetition underlining the expectation or hope that Benzocaine should provide numbness
Supposed to numb
-Supposed to numb
-Oh Benzocaine
Continued emphasis on Benzocaine, possibly highlighting its inability to deliver expected results
Oh Benzocaine
-Oh Benzocaine
-Oh Benzocaine
