Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Booka Shade's song "Numbers" seem to be exploring the concept of loneliness in the modern age. The repetition of the question "What's your number?" suggests a desire to connect with someone, possibly to have a one-night stand or a quick fling as a way of forgetting one's own personal problems. The phrase "Just like everybody else" seems to indicate that this desire for temporary escape through physical contact is a common feeling that many people experience.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of forgetting, which could either refer to forgetting one's own troubles or forgetting the idea of pursuing a deeper connection with someone. The phrase "Make me forget" suggests a willingness to let go of one's own inhibitions and simply give in to physical pleasure.


Overall, the song seems to be commenting on the ways in which technology and disconnectedness in modern society have made it difficult for people to form meaningful connections, and the sense of isolation and loneliness that can result from that.
