Love the darker lyrics on Novocaine myself, nice change from the "it's my life/bounce/everyday/hand" lyrics.

Novocaine is a local anesthetic. It is most commonly used by dentists, when they are pulling out teeth!

It numbs pain, hence the use as a metaphor in this song.

I know what novocaine is, but the line 'I change my name to novocaine' makes no sense at all.

What is it supposed to mean? That he turns into a pain number? How stupid. You might need some painnumber but to wanting to become one is borderline schizophrenic and early signs of a serial killer

What is it supposed to mean?

It dose make sense, he wants to become the thing that feels no pain because the hurt he's going through in the divorce is too much to take.

I think that's supposed to mean he tells the others and himself that he feels no pain, but it's just a superficial thing, like a name.
