1) Mike Truman and Chris Healings have been writing, producing, touring and DJing all over the globe for the best part of a decade, amassing near 250 productions. The duo has written four LPs to date: Wide Angle, 1999; Morning Sci-Fi, 2003; I Choose Noise, 2006; and Disappear Here, 2010 – all on Distinctive.
Since first bursting onto the scene with the now classic album, Wide Angle, in 1999, the Swansea, Wales-based Hybrid have been known as one of the most forward thinking and technically skilled acts in electronic dance music. Blurring the line between in-studio production and live presentation, Hybrid are one of the few remaining dance acts to perform live with a classic band setup.
Though, much has changed on the road to Hybrid's fourth artist album Disappear Here. Most notable is the addition of Hybrid's third member – singer / songwriter Charlotte James – to go along with founders Chris Healings and Mike Truman.
With Disappear Here, Hybrid have managed to create an epic and unique sound which has progressed dramatically from its original dance inception but still retains much of what makes electronic music so exciting. The album features guest vocals from Tim Hutton, drums from Alex Madge and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Numb
Hybrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a man on the train talking to his feet
All these places sound the same
I've forgotten what I need
Missed my stop again
Days turn into weeks
Wide open spaces where strangers once sat
Fade into blue
Fade into black
I subside
I'm weightless
I'm a panic attack
And I just let go
And I just lost control
And everything I am
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
What are these standing stones with edges cut to curves?
White-washed the colours and get what I deserve
Drown out the voices and everything I heard
Paralyse the choices
Sever all the nerves
Bleeding karma rescued me beneath this hollow sky
If I don't do anything, do these rules still apply?
Can't see the danger
Can't see the sense
I'm just a stranger claiming self-defence
And I just let go
And I just lost control
And everything I am
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
Numb as I am,
It's all in my head
I nearly got lost back then
Nearly let a cry out
What if I just kept on walking?
What if I just walked right out?
What if I just walked right out?
And I just let go
I just lost control
And everything I am
Is all in my head
Numb as I am,
It's all in my head
The opening lines of Hybrid's song "Numb" sets the mood for the rest of the track. The singer switches from a state of calm to a coma, highlighting the desensitization and detachment from reality that they are experiencing. The mention of a man on a train talking to his feet suggests the theme of disconnection and avoidance of human interaction that is prevalent throughout the track. The lyrics "all these places sound the same, I've forgotten what I need, missed my stop again, days turn into weeks" paints a picture of someone who is lost, both physically and emotionally. The verse might suggest someone who is struggling to find a sense of purpose and direction.
The chorus "And I just let go, and I just lost control, and everything I am, it's all in my head" captures the central message of the song. The singer is struggling to differentiate between reality and their thoughts. They feel like they are losing control over their life and are unable to distinguish between what is real and what is in their head. The line "I'm weightless, I'm a panic attack" shows how the singer feels like they are floating through life with no clear direction, further emphasizing their sense of confusion and detachment. The song explores themes of anxiety, confusion, and loneliness, and the lyrics highlight the internal struggles of someone who is struggling to find their way.
Line by Line Meaning
Calm turns to coma and I'm washed away in sleep
My peace of mind fades into an unconscious state as I sleep
There's a man on the train talking to his feet
I observe an odd man on the train addressing his feet
All these places sound the same
I can no longer differentiate these locations from one another
I've forgotten what I need
I can't recall what is truly important to me
Missed my stop again
I failed to get off at the correct location yet again
Days turn into weeks
Time progresses so rapidly that days blend into weeks
Open up the senses that were holding me back
I need to free myself from the restraints of my senses
Wide open spaces where strangers once sat
I am now among strangers in unfamiliar territory
Fade into blue
My thoughts and surroundings blur into a sea of blue
Fade into black
My thoughts and surroundings become nothingness
I subside
I retreat and become passive
I'm weightless
I feel a sense of lightness, as if nothing holds me down
I'm a panic attack
I am overcome with a sudden, intense feeling of anxiety and fear
And I just let go
I relinquish control
And I just lost control
I am no longer in control of my thoughts and actions
And everything I am
All of my being and identity
It's all in my head
Exists only in my mind, not reality
What are these standing stones with edges cut to curves?
I ponder the meaning and purpose of these rounded stone structures
White-washed the colours and get what I deserve
I am left with plain, unremarkable experiences and the consequences I have earned
Drown out the voices and everything I heard
I need to silence the noise around me and focus on myself
Paralyse the choices
I am unable to make decisions due to my indecisiveness
Sever all the nerves
I need to cut off all emotional connections to relieve myself of pain
Bleeding karma rescued me beneath this hollow sky
My past actions may have saved me, even in an empty and desolate setting
If I don't do anything, do these rules still apply?
Do I still have to follow the rules if I choose to do nothing?
Can't see the danger
I am unaware of the risks involved
Can't see the sense
I am unable to comprehend the rationale behind my decisions
I'm just a stranger claiming self-defence
I am simply an outsider seeking justification for my actions
Numb as I am,
I am emotionally numb
It's all in my head
All of my experiences and emotions exist only in my mind
I nearly got lost back then
I nearly lost my way in the past
Nearly let a cry out
I almost allowed myself to be vulnerable and show emotion
What if I just kept on walking?
I ponder what would happen if I continued to move forward without looking back
What if I just walked right out?
I question the consequences of leaving a situation without hesitation
And everything I am
All that comprises my being
Is all in my head
Exists only as thoughts in my mind
Numb as I am,
I am desensitized and unfeeling
It's all in my head
All of my experiences and emotions exist only in my mind

If you consider that the natural language is Portuguese from Brazil, you'll note that he only need to practice a little bit more.

The whole band does a phenomenal job. I think Linkin Park should go on tour and bring this singer along for the ride.
