    Ive been sitting around, and I was listening to Numb, and I realized that Numb can be a song for everything. Its hard to explain, but it just goes for anything. It can mean like it did for the girl in the video, and for me right now the chorus is kinda a referance to the situation with me and my exgirlfriend. We broke up, and Im trying to be her friend, but its just really hard and awkward for both of us, mostly because were almost the same person, and I dont want that.


    So I wondered: What does Numb mean to you?

    Numb to me....Numb to me means exaustion from trying to live up to people's expectations.

    "Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes
    (caught in the undertoe/just caught in the undertoe)
    every second I waste is more then I can take!"

    It's like when you sit in a folding chair for a really long time without moving, after you get up, you want to fall down, because your legs are Numb ;).

    Numb for me means being tired that people expect a lot of things from you, well that's my case, but also means when you are in a relationship and everything goes down, cause you and you bf/gf don't make things work.

    When I had foot surgery, they had to numb my foot so I couldn't feel the pain. And I was tired after the surgery too, so I became so numb, I couldnt feel the doctor there. Became so tired :p

    yes, same thing as to when i dropped an extremely sharp knife on my foot when i was walking up stairs, perfectly resembles the song. freezing the foot hurt (hardships before getting numb)then when the knife was removed from my foot, i didnt feel it (i was then numb!)





    and dont make fun of me, it hurt alot, so many people make fun of me for stabbing myself, it has to STOP! :(

    To me, Numb is a song about being weighed down by the trouble in life and having to deal with those problems until you become so indifferent to them. Until the point you can't even think about anything anymore, and you just don't have the energy to do so.
    Felt like this all week. :(

    What Numb means to me? Numb is about being yourself, and being myself is my philosophy :D .

    I have been through so much in my life and at the end of it all, I sort of feel "numb" - like I found that in myself I shouldn't be what people want me to be (super thin, straight a student...) and that every time i do something I just get... snapped at more and more, like nothing I do is ever right. But in the end, I should listen to myself and not anyone else. :)

    Numb to me means I'm tired of being what everybody else wants: somebody who lets everybody get away with what they want. But then when you finally speak up for yourself, that person turns you down. It's much like the lyric in my signature "If God gave you a voice then use it". I think that's what Numb's about.

    i think 'numb' means that you feel controled ("holding too tightly/afraid to lose control") and that people expect too much of you ("everything that you thought i would be/has fallen apart/right in front of you") and are telling you to do things because it is in their best interest, not yours. it actually describes my parents pressure on me to do well in school. i just love this song and i love the way chaz screams... :chaz:
