Numb
Aftertheparty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pill poppin' got me feelin' visceral
Melancholy girl, tell me where you're from
Why the fuck should I smile? I'm barely on
(Ooh get me higher)
Do this till you're fucking numb
(Like damn betchu riding)
(Ooh then I'm riding)
Do this till you're fucking numb
(Like damn let me ride out)
Do this till you're fucking gone
(Ooh get me higher)
Do this till you're fucking numb
(Like damn betchu riding)
Do this till you're fucking gone
(Ooh then I'm riding)
Do this till you're fucking numb
(Like damn let me ride out)
Do this till you're fucking gone
(Ooh get me higher)
Do this 'till you're fucking on with me
Leave it behind, it's all gone
If you really wanna let it go
Let it
You wanna feel something and that's fine
You gon' let him swallow up your pride?
You can come with me and just ride
We can do this till the night end
Cigarettes and pills burn your eyes
You can take off your disguises
He ain't worth the tears that you cry
All you wanna do is get high
That's okay, lets get high
(Ooh get me higher)
Do this till you're fucking numb
(Like damn betchu riding)
Do this till you're fucking gone
(Ooh then I'm riding)
Do this till you're fucking numb
(Like damn let me ride out)
Do this till you're fucking gone
(Ooh get me higher)
Do this till you're fucking numb
(Like damn betchu riding)
Do this till you're fucking gone
(Ooh then I'm riding)
Do this till you're fucking numb
(Like damn let me ride out)
Do this till you're fucking gone
Ooh get me higher
Like damn betchu riding
Ooh then I'm riding
Like damn let me ride out
Same kick with a new bass
Same bitch with a new face
Same dish with a new plate
Cookie cutter that's the new way
New friends think they knew me
Old friends act a new way
I've been getting it the hard way
They gon' find out the hard way
When she call me baby hit her with the Plan B, and that's plan a
Car straight from Japan, hands-free but ignore when she call me
I can't depend on nobody and everything that I've been doing, it's all me
Who the fuck gonna stall me
Who the fuck gonna stop me
I've been numb, I've been numb, I've been
I've been on, I've been on, I've been
The song Numb by Aftertheparty explores the theme of self-medication and escapism through substance abuse. The first verse sets the tone for the song as the singer talks about his changed state due to excessive pill-popping. He encounters a melancholy girl and asks where she is from. He questions why he should smile when he is barely able to function. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the need to get higher and numb the pain, using drugs as a means of escape.
In the second verse, the singer tries to convince the girl to join him on this self-destructive path, encouraging her to leave everything behind and indulge in this temporary high. He wants her to let go of her pride and give in to the urge to get high. The bridge emphasizes the need to keep going until we are numb and feel nothing. The outro emphasizes the self-reliance and determination of the singer to keep going without any external support.
The song is a representation of the darker side of party culture and how people use drugs to cope with their feelings and emotions. It highlights the need to escape and numb oneself rather than confronting the issues and dealing with them. The repeated emphasis on getting higher and going numb also accentuates the addictive nature of substance abuse.
