Novacane Lyrics
i got what i wanted
did didn't i
can't feel nothing
superhuman
even when i'm fucking
viagra popping
every single record
autotuning
zero emotion
muted emotion
pitch corrected
computed emotion
i blame it on the model broad with the hollywood smile
stripper booty and rack like wow
brain like berkeley
met her at coachella
i went to see jigga
perfect
i took a seat on the ice cold lawn
she handed me a ice blue bong
whatever
she said she wanna be dentist really badly
she's in school paying
for tuition doing porn in the valley
at least you working
but girl i can't feel my face
what are we smoking anyway
she said don't let the high goto waste
but can you taste a little taste of
novacaine
baby baby
novacaine baby i want you
fuck me good
fuck me long
fuck me numb
love me now when i'm gone love me none
love me none love me none
numb numb numb numb
pacing in the kitchen
cocaine for breakfast
yikes
bed full of women
flip on a tripod
little red light on shooting
i'm feeling like
stanley kubrick
this is some visionary shit
been tryna film pleasure with my eyes wide shut
but it keeps on moving
i blame it on the
model broad with the hollywood smile
stripper booty with the rack like wow
i'll never forget ya
you put me on a feeling i never had
never had never had
and ever since
i've been tryna get it back pick it up and put it back
now i'm something like the chemist on campus
but there's no drug around
quite like what i found in you
what am i smoking anyway
she said don't let the high go to waste
but can you tast a little taste of
baby baby
novacaine baby i want you
fuck me good
fuck me long
fuck me numb
love me now when i'm gone love me none
love me none love me none
numb numb numb numb
novacaine novacaine novacaine novacaine novacaine
for the pain for the pain for the pain for the pain for the pain
novacaine novacaine novacaine novacaine novacaine
for the pain for the pain
novacaine novacaine
making pretty love to me pretty
pity pity
all the pretty girls involved with me
making pretty love to me pretty
pity pity
i can't feel a thing
i can't feel
can't feel a thing
i can't feel a thing
i can't feel feel her
novacaine novacaine novacaine
i can't feel feel her
for the pain
for the pain
for the pain
i can't feel feel her
feel her feel her
novacaine novacaine
Meanings kinda obv. Frank Ocean "lost his emotion" aka hes empty inside and he met a girl who was studying to be a dentist who was doing porn for money and introduced him to chronic and they basc were friends with benefits except he fell for her. she left and hes numb like novacane trying to get the feeling back but it doesnt work
Right, but I think there's another level of meaning too.

This model broad could act as a metaphor for the music business that welcomes him with open arms "handed me an ice-blue bong" but soon leads him on and leaves him with nothing "can't feel a thing."

He fell in love with the porn star/dentist wannabe and hasn't been able to feel the way he felt with her with anyone else. He tries to use fame, sex, and drugs to forget her, but all it does is numb him...it doesn't really stop the pain through because he has to keep on going back to it. This is really sad and pretty depressing. I can't really enjoy listening to the lyrics, but I can look passed all the hard outside and find the soft inside.
It's a song that links drugs, auto-tune, and sex into one all consuming drive for sedation from the modern world.
FRANK OCEAN IS BONER JAMS
A driving beat with a tragic demise of a girl who wants to numb herself from whatever demons she's wrestling from within herself. The narrator (Frank Ocean) is trying to feel who she is inside but, obviously, she numbs herself (and him also) which acts as a wall from seeing who she really is. Which is a way of saying "Live in the moment." My ten cents. Great song.
Juxtaposition between this and the sweetness of Strawberry Swing just before is just sublime.
