In an interview with Pilerats, Sophie said:
“Teeth” is about trying to shake a memory of the heart that seems as if it will be lodged in you forever – like a big molar stuck deep in the back of your jaw, taking up too much space, inflaming your gums and making all your other teeth grow all crooked....
I prearranged you but it’s too late to
You’re crooked and all out of sorts but it doesn’t hurt
I feel you moving nicely but I think it’s in my dreams
I wake, it’s worse
Imperfect is it even worth it
Give me an alignment
Universe
Smile deeply and better than me
A part of life and not all me
I will make it mine
The asymmetrical lines
Smile deeply
And better than me
A part of life and not all me
I will make it mine
The asymmetrical lines
Smile
I could go under, someone do it for me
Take you from your place but I’m too afraid
The left one’s wanted you to fall out but now I’m all about the one to stay
Just smile deeply and better than me
A part of life but not all me
I will make it mine
The asymmetrical lines
Smile deeply
And better than me
A part of life and not all me
I will make it mine
The asymmetrical lines
Smile!
And when I am buried
You will be all that’s left of me
And when I am buried
You will be all that’s left of me
And when I, am buried
You will be all that’s left of me
And when I, am buried
You will be just a memory
