Numb
Engel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be the one to tell you
I'll bring the truth.
Stop trusting all they tell you
they get paid from Booze.

You have to stop
These Lies you feed us.
Their Evils ruling and

their greed guiding Them.

They puke out lies on TV
to make You numb.
The thing that scares them most
is When you start to Think.

Afraid of what will happen
If we use the Earth.
Take away the ban on Natue
will take us home

You have to stop
These Lies you feed us.

Their Evils ruling and
their greed guiding Them.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Engel's song "Numb" are a scathing critique of the powers that be, and their manipulation of public opinion through falsehoods and half-truths. The song calls for people to wake up and see through the lies that they are being fed, and to take action to create a better world.

The first verse of the song is a direct challenge to those who propagate lies and misinformation. The singer of the song declares that they will bring the truth and urges the listener to stop trusting those who are paid to push alcohol. This can be interpreted as a reference to the alcohol industry's advertising strategies, as well as a broader critique of the media landscape and its reliance on sponsored content.

The second verse expands on this theme, urging the listener to reject the lies they are being fed and to recognize the destructive influences of corporate greed. The phrase "their evils ruling" suggests a sense of powerlessness and domination, as if the powers that be are in control and the people are powerless to resist. However, the song also encourages listeners to take action and to reclaim their power, by refusing to be numbed by the lies of those in power.
