The line between inspiration and imitation blurred when Hazard's song "Ponytail Girl" spread like wildfire on Napster, mislabeled as a Depeche Mode b-side. Despite both parties' efforts to set the record straight (depechemode.com went so far as to address the mix-up in their FAQ), bootleg versions of Depeche Mode's Exciter album were sold around the world with "Ponytail Girl" included as a so-called bonus track. Hazard used the incident as the basis for a tribute album to the band, Color Theory presents Depeche Mode.
Since then, Hazard has emerged from the shadow of his childhood heroes to become an artist in his own right. The Orange County Register acclaimed, "Hazard writes songs that are intensely personal and uses technology to enhance material that is as emotive as the best folk." Highlights include winning the Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, two songs in the hit video game Rock Band, and several song placements on MTV's The Real World.

Numb
Color Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It makes you feel so insecure
Have you ever truly been in love before?
If you want to know for sure
Hold it in your tightly closed fist
Wait until your hand goes numb
If it doesn't sting you
Then you know that you're in love
But you will end up getting stung
Either way
You've been feeling happy but not overjoyed
Satisfied but not content
Maybe lost your head but it's not in the clouds
Guilty yet so innocent
Either way people change
You'll wake up cold and cry his name in vain
He can't deny his legacy
The endless search for novelty
Why did you decide to take such tender care
Of the flowers that he gave?
After all he hasn't called you for a week
Doesn't that make you feel strange?
Either way the flowers die
The lyrics of the song “Numb” by Color Theory delve into the topic of love and its complexities. The first few lines suggest that the world is obsessed with the idea of love and it can cause insecurities within individuals. The song then raises the question of whether one has ever truly been in love before and proposes a unique way to test it - by catching a wild bee and holding it tightly in one’s fist until their hand goes numb. If one doesn’t get stung by the bee, it confirms their love. However, regardless of the outcome, one will eventually get stung.
The lyrics then transition to highlight the various emotions and contradictions that come with being in love. One might feel happy, but not completely overjoyed; satisfied, but not fully content; lost their head but still grounded; guilty, yet innocent. People change, and things might not always pan out as we expect them to. The song portrays the idea that eventually, we may end up feeling numb to the emotions of love, but not before experiencing its ups and downs.
Overall, “Numb” explores the different dimensions of love and what it means to be in love. It touches upon the complex emotions that we go through in such relationships and the idea that love, in the end, can leave us feeling numb.

Phoenix about Forgotten: is this song in Hybrid Theory?
Val Sukhanov
@basicstruggle its Scott Koziol and he plays on the HT album as well
Ariel Frumer
@basicstruggle yeah. I believe his name is Scott Koziol, but I might be wrong about his last name.
basicstruggle
I have a question, some guy named Scott played bass in the One Step Closer video and their early liveshows before Phoenix returned right?
Ariel Frumer
@Mutant Rockstar Brad didn't do all the bass, but he did do most of it.
Mutant Rockstar
@Ariel Frumer I heard Brad recorded a majority of the bass for Hybrid Theory. I'm convinced Brad probably did ALL of the bass on that album. I don't want to go into something I don't know for sure, but man... I've always wondered what it would be like to see them in the studio when they did this album. Cheers!
