==Lyrics== |
|||
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) |
|||
[Chorus] |
|||
I've become so numb I can't feel you there |
|||
I've 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 |
|||
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 |
|||
[Chorus] |
|||
I've become so numb I can't feel you there |
|||
I've 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 |
|||
[Chorus] |
|||
I've become so numb I can't feel you there |
|||
I've 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 |
|||
[Chorus] |
|||
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 |

| "Numb" | |
|---|---|
| Song |
"Numb" is a single by the Nu metal band Linkin Park, from their 2003 album Meteora.
History
This song, like "One Step Closer" and "Crawling," features Mike Shinoda's rapping for a very short time: in fact, Mike only has one line of rap which is repeated throughout the song (although he does sing backup when the song is performed live).
In chart success and popularity, "Numb" is surpassed only by "In The End" within the band's hit singles.
"Numb" was later used in a mash-up single along with Jay-Z's "Encore" from his 2003 album (The Black Album). The end result was Numb / Encore, on their collaborative 2004 album Collision Course, and released as a single in the same year. "Numb / Encore" was awarded as Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, at the Grammy Awards of 2006.
This song was released in two different singles: "Numb Pt. 1" and "Numb Pt. 2". They differed in color – "Numb Pt. 1" is white, while "Numb Pt. 2" is blue – and track listing. The cover of "Numb Pt. 1" is shown on the right.
The song became a soundtrack for the 2004 video game Halo 2. Despite being featured in the teaser, trailers and in the film's opening sequence, the Collision Course mash-up mix Numb / Encore does not appear on the Miami Vice movie soundtrack.
Music video
Its video, directed by Joe Hahn, is set in a church in Los Angeles because Chester was ill, while the other half is set on the Czech Republic.
