“Turpentine” describes a man feeling lost with himself and what has become of him, He’s unhappy with his place in the world and what will be remembered of him when he’s gone. To cope with the pain, he resorts to humor and a variety of substances.
The song seems to form a blend of every project the...
[Intro: Tom DeLonge]
Soak your clothes in kerosene
Cleanse the mind with ketamine
Slide your mom on top of me
Wash yourself with turpentine!
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
My arms I've raised again
Today I don't feel tethered
I have no path within
Don't know if I'll get better
[Pre-Chorus 1: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
My own mind's unclean
Can't taste anything
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
I'll clean myself with turpentine
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Working at the factory
Stick the veins of nicotine
Wash yoursеlf with turpentine!
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
I feel like I'll cavе in
I'm anxious, I am weathered
I've lost my way again
I know there ain't no treasure
[Pre-Chorus 2: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
My mind breaks with ease
Sticks and stones and dreams
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
I'll clean myself with turpentine
[Post-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Working at the factory
Stick the veins of nicotine
Wash yourself with turpentine (turpentine, turpentine, turpentine)
[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
Sharks smell the blood in the water
We're all just lambs to the slaughter
It's only all the time, this time
A generation lost and forgotten
Clawing at the lid of the coffin
Your god ain't comin' back this time
[Interlude: Tom DeLonge]
Quit your job and have a drink
Take a pound of ecstasy
Blah, bl-blah, bl-blah, fuck
Wash yourself with turpentine!
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
I'll clean myself with turpentine
[Outro: Tom DeLonge]
Like me like a trampoline
Stick your dick in Ovaltine
Snort a bag of dramamine
Douse yourself in gasoline
Throw up in a limousine
Jack off to a magazine
Wash yourself with turpen... tine, goddammit
