Numb
Delta V Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life can seem strange to you
And lies can be told to give you things
That you can rely upon
Let those pills flow through you
Can you hear me?
I'm talking to you
It's me calling from heaven or hell
Don't care 'cause it's all the same to you
Do you feel the same as we feel?
And do you see the same things that we see?
Are you leaning out your world now?
Would you get into our world now?
Are you coming back?
Won't you come right back?
You've been living in you own world,
You've been missing all our sweet words
Are you coming back?
Won't you come right back?
Lies don't seem strange to you
And life can't be taught
We'll give you things that you can't deny
So just let those pills flow through you
Can you see me i'm talking to you




It's me coming from heaven or hell
Don't care 'cause it's all the same to you

Overall Meaning

Delta V's song Numb speaks about the dangerous world of addiction, where one can fall into a spiral of lies and deceit, and can end up missing out on the joys of life. The lyrics convey a sense of confusion and hopelessness, where both the singer and the addict are lost in their own worlds, unable to make sense of their own emotions. The lines "Life can seem strange to you, And lies can be told to give you things That you can rely upon" show how addiction can be a coping mechanism, where one relies on drugs or alcohol to feel safe and secure, even if it is a false security.


The haunting tone of the song is further enhanced by the repeated lines "Can you hear me? I'm talking to you, It's me calling from heaven or hell, Don't care 'cause it's all the same to you", which suggest a plea from the singer to the addict to come back to reality and leave the abyss of addiction behind. The repeated questioning of "Do you feel the same as we feel? And do you see the same things that we see?" shows that the addict and the singer are no longer on the same page, and that the addict has withdrawn into their own world. The overall message of the song is one of desperation and hope, where the singer seeks to reach out and connect with the addict before it is too late.

The saddest thing is that this AMV shows the reality of being a soldier and it is the risk of losing one's life in war and also how those who fight for their nation have to train to fight and thus be able to preserve that peace for those people who really they appreciate their life and their country, which are their families or their parents, no matter what country they come from, a true soldier is not the strongest because he is good with a weapon, he is the one who is willing to give his life, even if it is for that peace to continue. enduring, that those Ukrainian soldiers who defend their country in this 2022 can defend their country and their people.

My dear friend, stop watching TV. What is happening in Ukraine is a family affair. No one invited you here except your politicians and propagandists. We will figure it out ourselves in our family. War is scary! There is no need to harbor illusions. Develop, study and invent. For example, a cure for AIDS. Direct your energy into what you can really do to help humanity and your country. With a machine gun in your hands on foreign soil, you, my friend, cannot prove anything. Sincerely, kind Russian 🤝✊

@Rubber Duck nur weil ich jung bin heißt es nicht dass ich es nur deshalb liebe. Ich weiß ja dass es nicht die ganze Wirklichkeit wiedergibt und es natürlich auch anders ist. Aber wenn man keinen anderen Traum hat dann soll man den Traum halt leben.

@crowschattenpfote

@Rubber Duck ich weiß dass es extrem hart ist…

@crowschattenpfote

@Rubber Duck ich habe ja nicht gesagt dass ich es schaffe aber wenn ich es schaffe würde ein großer Traum in Erfüllung gehen
