Numb
Becca Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got no reason to put you aside or choose
A new addiction that would take the place of you
I've tried every other way to be in love
There's nothing to better I can crave you are my drug
Of choice and I like the way
You kill the pain

I got a new kind of lover yeah
I got a new kind of lover yeah
One that takes me over yeah
And I'm addicted to the way you drive the pain right out of me
I got a new kind of lover
Let's get numb

I've tried everything to change under the sun
To have a normal kind of life like everyone
I'd rather sleep on a bed of thorns in the dark
Then sit and talk about how someone tore my heart
So for now cover me
Yeah for hours

I got a new kind of lover yeah
I got a new kind of lover yeah
One that takes me over yeah
And I'm addicted to the way you drive the pain right out of me
I got a new kind of lover
Let's get numb

Don't wanna feel all up and down,
Love and hate go round and round
You make me delirious, nothing serious, yeah

I got a new kind of lover yeah
I've got a new kind of lover yeah
One that takes me over yeah
And I'm addicted to the way you drive the pain right out of me
I got a new kind of lover
Let's get numb oh
Let's get numb oh




I got a new kind of lover
Let's get numb

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Becca's song "Numb" convey a sense of addiction and dependence on the person she is addressing in the song. She says that she has no reason to push this person away, and that she has failed to find a better way to love than through this person. The individual has become her addiction, fulfilling a void in her life through their partnership. She praises them for being able to "kill the pain" and that despite everything else she has tried, "there's nothing better" than the love she shares with them.


The song goes on to mention that Becca has tried to change who she is to fit a "normal" life, but is willing to go through anything to avoid having to talk about the hurt that comes with losing somebody. She asks the person to cover her for hours and to make her numb. She doesn't want to feel the ups and downs of love and hate that typically accompany a romantic relationship. The chorus repeats the idea that the person she is addressing is a new kind of love that takes her over and drives the pain out of her. She states that she has become addicted to the way they make her feel and proposes that they "get numb" together.


In essence, "Numb" is a song about addiction, dependence, and the allure of numbing one's emotions to avoid the pain that comes with romantic relationships.
