I'm trying to translate this song, and there is a sentence I really don't
understand:

> 手術台から･･･噛みました

Here's the line in context, if that helps anyone:

> 金持ちあいつの恋煩い (the lovesickness of the rich guy)  
>  手術台から･･･噛みました (from the operating table, he chews?)  
>  口から這い出た愛してる (from his mouth, love creeps out)

I think (maybe) that that line means something like he's chewing his
fingernails or grinding his teeth, like he's nervous, but it doesn't really
say anything like that directly.

Anyways, I'm really confused!

question
translation song-lyrics particle-から
Please help me with this sentence: 手術台から...噛みました
First, here are the whole lyrics for anyone curious.

<https://www5.atwiki.jp/hmiku/pages/25195.html>

Having read the whole song, I think I have an answer here. The whole lyrics
are just full of plays on words, unusually twisted humor and all the other
nonsense by the "normal" song lyric standards.

To me, 「噛{か}む」 here is used for its other "colloquial" meaning " **to fluff a
line** " rather than for its "dictionary" meaning of "to bite, chew".

The **_ellipsis_** used in the line would strongly suggest the stumbling.
Besides, I just do not see what is there to bite or chew.

" **On the operating table ... oops, I fluffed**." would be my take.

This would explain the polite verb form 「噛みました」 which would imply an apology
as well as the ellipsis I mentioned above.

answer
I'll add to l'électeur's answer. As mentioned in the answer, it means "to
fluff a line". It cannot be interpreted as any other type of mistake outside
of verbally messing up a line. When I see an unfinished line, followed by
噛{か}んだ or 噛{か}みました in a script (or in this case, a song) my initial instinct
is that the speaker has messed up the unfinished line. And I see that
手術台{しゅじゅつだい} is there, and I know that 手術{しゅじゅつ} is a word that is often
fluffed. There's even a tongue-twister for that.

> 魔術師{まじゅつし}手術中｛しゅじゅつちゅう｝

I have searched an listened to the song, found
[here](http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20657613), and that has confirmed my
belief. The singer fluffs the pronunciation, saying しゅじゅちゅだい instead.
