Review Revealing the Meaning of Linkin Park-Numb Songs

in #music6 years ago (edited)

Listening to songs may become our habit. However, often we just listen to it without knowing what the meaning and meaning of the song is.

Now, let's find out the meaning of the Linkin Park-Numb song. This song is already very long released. But lately I still like to listen to the song, even I made the basis for life and a philosophy.

In Indonesian, Numb can be interpreted as "numbness" or "a dead feeling to someone", more or less like that. It's too tired and desperate because it can not be what everyone wants. Every action we do is always wrong in his view.

In his eyes none of our actions are true and in accordance with his wishes. Until the end we numb to the person, even we no longer feel his presence. Those are the few phrases that exist in Linkin Park's Numb song.

Here's the lyrics along with the translation:

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
"I'm tired of being what you want"
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
"feeling desperate, lost beneath the surface"
Do not know what you're expecting me
"whatever you expect from me"
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
"distressed under your shadow"
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
("float in the lower current, has drifted by the undertow")
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
"every step I have is a mistake for you"
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
("float in the lower current, has drifted by the undertow)

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can not feel you there
"I became so numb, I could not feel your presence"
I've become so tired so much more aware
"I became very tired to realize"
I'm getting this all I want to do
"I became like this, all I wanted"
Is be more like me and be less like you
"being yourself is not like you"

Can not you see that you're smothering me
"do not you realize you're strangling me"
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
"hug (ku) too strong, afraid to lose control"
Cause everything that you thought I would be
"because everything you want me to do"
Has fallen apart right in front of you
"has failed miserably before your eyes"
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow ")
("float in the lower current, has drifted by the undertow")
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
"every step I have is a mistake for you"
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
("float in the lower current, has drifted by the undertow")
And every second I waste is more than I can take
"and every second I throw out more than I can"

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can not feel you there
"I became so numb, I could not feel your presence"
I've become so tired so much more aware
"I became very tired to realize"
I'm getting this all I want to do
"I became like this, all I wanted"
Is be more like me and be less like you
"being yourself is not like you"

And I know
"and I know"
I may end up failing too
"I can end the failure
But I know
"but I know"
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
"you used to be like me, there is a disappointing figure in you"

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can not feel you there
"I became so numb, I could not feel your presence"
I've become so tired so much more aware
"I became very tired to realize"
I'm getting this all I want to do
"I became like this, all I wanted"
Is be more like me and be less like you
"being yourself is not like you"

I've become so numb, I can not feel you there
"I became so numb, I could not feel your presence"
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
"I'm tired of doing what you want"
I've become so numb, I can not feel you
"I became so numb, I could not feel your presence"
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
"I'm tired of doing what you want"
