Linkin Park – Numb

I have to admit the lead singer, Emily Armstrong’s voice is good, but for old songs, it just feel weird hearing them sing.

Linkin Park is an American well-known rock band formed in Agoura Hills, California, in 1996.

It was released on March 25, 2003, through Warner Bros. Records, from the studio album “Meteora.”

“Numb” by Linkin Park is a song that speaks to feelings of pressure, frustration and isolation. It is also a song about feeling misunderstood, disconnected and overwhelmed by pressure.

Lyrics:

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]

I’m tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface

Don’t know what you’re expecting of me

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

[Chester Bennington:]

I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there

Become so tired, so much more aware

I’m becoming this, all I want to do

Is be more like me and be less like you

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]

Can’t you see that you’re smothering me

Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?

‘Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart right in front of you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

And every second I waste is more than I can take

[Chester Bennington:]

I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there

Become so tired, so much more aware

I’m becoming this, all I want to do

Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know

I may end up failing too

But I know

You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there

Become so tired, so much more aware

I’m becoming this, all I want to do

Is be more like me and be less like you

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]

I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there

(I’m tired of being what you want me to be)

I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there

(I’m tired of being what you want me to be)
