Green Day - Give Me Novacaine Meaning

Give Me Novacaine Lyrics
Bitter sweet migraine in my head
It's like a throbbing toothache of the mind
I can't take this feeling anymore
Drain the pressure from the swelling
This sensation's overwhelming
Give me a long kiss good...

He's tired of being weak, so he fully surrenders to his alter ego, St. Jimmy. Now he's doing what Jimmy tells him to.
