Novocaine
Numb Again: Love's Intoxicating Embrace
Lyrics
Woke up in a cold sweat, no trace of her, no text,
Woke up with intense anxiety, no signs of her presence, and no messages.
I can't even trust myself to wait.
Unable to trust oneself to be patient or wait for something.
Said now why don't you come back, come back, it never lasts,
Inviting her to return, but acknowledging it won't last, expressing emotional numbness with Novocaine reference.
I can't even feel my face, novocaine.
Unable to feel emotions, comparing the sensation to the effect of Novocaine.
I know what it takes by the taste, love it cuz I know the pain,
Understanding the requirements of love through experience and enjoying it despite the accompanying pain.
I love the pain.
Expressing a willingness to endure pain for the sake of love.
Those eyes never make me feel alone, and thru the glass its not the same.
The person's eyes provide comfort, but separation affects the perception through glass.
cnd love is love but it eats you up,
Love is acknowledged but seen as consuming and potentially destructive.
and I feel numb wanting for your touch,
Feeling emotionally numb while craving the touch of the person.
when it comes to you, nothing is too much,
Expressing an extreme dedication to the person, where nothing is considered too much.
when I hear your name, I'm numb again.
Hearing the person's name triggers emotional numbness again.
Cold sweats your taste is still in my breath,
The memory of the person's taste lingers, causing cold sweats and a lack of self-trust.
I don't even trust myself today.
Continued struggle with self-trust and emotions related to the person.
The silence between us, is the thing that will keep us in the same place, we can't stay.
The silence between them is identified as a barrier preventing progress in the relationship.
I know what it takes by the taste, how it intoxicates, intoxicates.
Understanding the nature of love through its intoxicating taste.
Those eyes never made me feel alone, now they suffocate, suffocate.
The same comforting eyes now feel suffocating.
cnd Love is love but it eats you up,
Reiterating the consuming nature of love.
wanting for your touch,
Desire for the person's touch despite the overwhelming nature of love.
when it comes to you, nothing is too much,
Reaffirming the idea that nothing is too much when it comes to the person.
when I hear your name, I'm numb again.
Hearing the person's name brings back emotional numbness.
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
Repetition of "yeah" suggesting emotional intensity or agreement.
cnd Love is love but it eats you up, I'm numb again.
Reiterating the consuming nature of love and the return of emotional numbness.
