Play this song on YouTube.
"Anesthesia" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their sixth album Life Is Killing Me, released in 2003. This is a popularly well-liked song by fans with its rhythm and change of character in them. It has a part resembling that of the band Paradise Lost. It is about living in the dark times with no sensitivity to pain, hence the meaning of anesthesia. The song fades till the end when it's 30 seconds left, then the soft piano comes in and Pete whispers the final lyric line.
Lyrics
Like a flash of light in an endless night
Life is trapped between two black entities
'Cause when you trust someone, illusion has begun
No way to prepare, impending despair... despair
Did one say so cruel: "Tis better to love than lose"
Ignorance is bliss - wish not knew your kiss
So many times been burned, this lesson goes unlearned
Remember desire only fuels the fire - liar
Betwixed birth and death, every breath regret
I pity the living, envy for the dead
Emotionally stunned, in defense, I'm numb
I'd rather not care than to be aware - be scared
I don't need love
I don't need love
I don't need love
I don't need love
Are a thousand tears worth a single smile?
When you give an inch, will they take a mile?
Longing for the past but dreading the future
If not being used, well then you're a user and a loser, bye
World renowned failure at both death and life
Given nothingness, purgatory blight
To run and hide, a cowardly procedure
Options exhausted, except for anesthesia - anesthesia, uhh
I don't feel anything... anything
I don't feel anything... anything
I don't feel anything... anything
I don't feel anything... anything... anything... anything... real
I don't feel anything... anything... anything... anything...
