About Numb

"Numb" is a song about the pressure to succeed and the sacrifices one makes to achieve success. The opening verse portrays the singer's feeling of being stuck in a cycle of trying to succeed, unable to break free and catch a breath. The pre-chorus suggests that the pursuit of success has left her feeling numb and disconnected, and the only way to climb higher is to get low. The chorus repeats the theme of sacrifice as a means to achieve success and calls out for burning bright in a reasonable way. .

Numb Lyrics

[00:00.06] One-track mind like a goldfish
[00:04.09] Stuck inside my petri-dish
[00:07.87] I can't breathe, and I can't smile
[00:12.05] This better be worth my while
[00:15.98] I feel numb most of the time
[00:19.84] Lower I get, the higher
[00:23.52] I'll climb, and I will wonder why
[00:28.02] I got dark only to
[00:32.08] Shine
[00:35.97] Looking for the golden light
[00:39.44] Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice
[00:44.36] Burn, burn, burn bright
[00:48.35] Forgo families, forgo friends
[00:52.04] That's how it started and how it ends
[00:56.10] I can't open up and cry
[00:59.96] 'Cause I've been silent all my life
[01:04.01] I feel numb most of the time
[01:08.07] Lower I get, the higher
[01:11.63] I'll climb, and I will wonder why
[01:16.08] I got dark only to
[01:20.21] Shine
[01:24.14] Looking for the golden light
[01:27.52] Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice
[01:32.21] Burn, burn, burn bright
[01:36.26] Burn, burn, burn bright
[01:42.26] Ooh, I get dark
[01:45.85] Oh, and I'm in Hell
[01:51.61] I need a friend
[01:54.47] Ooh, but I can't yell
[01:59.62] Yeah, I'm no good
[02:02.79] No good to anyone
[02:06.83] 'Cause all I care about
[02:10.63] Is being number one
[02:15.27] Shine
[02:19.49] Looking for the golden light
[02:22.60] Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice
[02:31.11] Shine
[02:35.53] Looking for the golden light
[02:38.62] Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice, sacrifice
[02:47.30] I feel numb most of the time
[02:51.29] Lower I get, the higher
[02:54.56] I'll climb, and I will wonder why
[02:59.26] I got dark only to shine
[03:03.94] And I'll light up the sky
[03:07.21] Stars that burn the brightest
[03:11.27] Fall so fast and pass you by
[03:15.01] Cough like empty lighters
[03:19.32] I feel numb most of the time
[03:23.04] Lower I get, the higher
[03:26.54] I'll climb, and I will wonder why
[03:31.21] I get dark only to shine
[03:36.05] And I'll light up the sky
[03:39.58] Stars that burn the brightest
[03:43.53] Fall so fast and pass you by
[03:47.86] Spark like empty lighters
[03:52.15] Dum, du-rum, du-rum, du-rum
[03:56.59] Dum, du-rum, du-ru-uh-uh
[04:00.82] Dum, du-rum, du-rum, du-rum
[04:05.46] Dum, du-rum, du-ru-uh-uh
[04:08.41]
