Dalam balutan melodi yang menghantui, lagu "Give Me Novacaine" dari Green Day mengekspresikan perjuangan berkelanjutan melawan kecemasan yang tak kunjung reda. Lirik pembukanya yang menghentak menggambarkan sakit kepala yang menyiksa bak sakit gigi pada pikiran, tak tertahankan hingga nyaris melumpuhkan. Chorusnya yang memilukan memohon kelegaan, meminta ciuman perpisahan yang mematikan rasa agar kegelisahan yang mencengkeram dapat reda.
Give Me Novacaine Lyrics
Green Day
Take away the sensation inside
Bitter sweet migraine in my head
Its like a throbbing tooth ache of the mind
I can't take this feeling anymore
[Chorus:]
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
This sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing
So give me Novacaine
Out of body and out of mind
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
I get the funny feeling, that's alright
Jimmy says it's better than air,
I'll tell you why
[Chorus]
Oh Novacaine
[Chorus:]
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
This sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing
So give me Novacaine
Bitter sweet migraine in my head
Its like a throbbing tooth ache of the mind
I can't take this feeling anymore
[Chorus:]
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
This sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing
So give me Novacaine
Out of body and out of mind
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
I get the funny feeling, that's alright
Jimmy says it's better than air,
I'll tell you why
[Chorus]
Oh Novacaine
[Chorus:]
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
This sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing
So give me Novacaine
