FEEL
Gazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause i always numbed the pain, helped me forget the world
Somebody told me there'd be days like these, but this is just insane
Sometimes my stupid attitude just ruins everything
Now i don't feel anything, don't think i ever will
Cause i love to numb the pain, so numb me a little more
The above lyrics are from Gazz's song "Feel" which talks about the singer's struggle with emotions and the need to numb oneself to avoid feeling anything. The lines "I don't feel anything, don't think I ever did" suggest that the singer might have never truly experienced emotions due to the constant need to numb the pain. The theme of emotional numbness is further highlighted in the lines "Cause I always numbed the pain, helped me forget the world" which illustrate the singer's dependence on coping mechanisms to escape from reality.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea that sometimes our own attitudes can be the cause of our problems. The line "Sometimes my stupid attitude just ruins everything" implies that the singer's own actions and behaviors might be contributing to their inability to feel anything.
The song's bridge, "Somebody told me there'd be days like these, but this is just insane," conveys the idea that while emotional struggles might be expected, the level of pain the singer is experiencing is beyond what they anticipated.
