Numb
Jodie Marie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I visited the places that we used to go hand in hand
Now we are walking alone I take things I shouldn’t
just to replace the one falling deeper and deeper
Uncontrollably numb

Fading pictures faced down by my bed
Bottles of wine replace you instead
Long way passport realize this mess

Your name on my lips lingers through sadness

I hear your footsteps in the house
Your voice now holds these walls
With words you once said to me
Made me feel good about myself
I was captured about those eyes
Don’t know exactly what you held

Fading pictures faced down by my bed
Bottles of wine replace you instead
Long way passport realize this mess
Your name on my lips lingers through sadness

I stop for those habits
The ones that made you side
I promise I do everything right
So please don’t let me hear you say goodbye

Long way passport realize this mess
Your name on my lips lingers through sadness
Your name on my lips lingers through sadness

Your name on my lips lingers through sadness
Your name on my lips lingers through sadness

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Numb" by Jodie Marie are a poignant depiction of the aftermath of a breakup. The first verse talks about the singer's attempts to relive memories of a time when she walked hand in hand with her partner, and how, now that they've separated, she feels numb and falls for things she shouldn't, just to fill the void. The second verse reveals the mess her life has become in the wake of the breakup - pictures by her bed are turned down, empty wine bottles replace her ex, and she realizes how far her pain has taken her through her passport. The chorus repeats the refrain that her ex's memory still haunts her, and she can't seem to escape the sadness she feels in their absence.

The bridge of the song gives us insight into the singer's state of mind. She hears their ex's voice echoing in the empty house, and their words flash back, filling her with self-worth. She remembers how enamored she was by their eyes, even if she can't recall what she saw in them. She begs for a second chance to prove that she can change, to fix her mistakes and make her ex see that she deserves another chance.

I visited the places that we used to go hand in hand
I went to the places we used to visit together, but now I am alone

Now we are walking alone I take things I shouldn’t just to replace the one falling deeper and deeper
Now that we are apart, I do things I shouldn't just to fill the void I feel inside

Uncontrollably numb
I feel numb and unable to control my emotions

Fading pictures faced down by my bed
I keep pictures of you facedown by my bed, not wanting to confront the pain they bring

Bottles of wine replace you instead
I am drinking to replace the feeling of being with you

Long way passport realize this mess
I have to travel a long way to realize the mess I'm in without you

Your name on my lips lingers through sadness
I can't help but say your name, even though it makes me feel sad

I hear your footsteps in the house
I imagine hearing your footsteps in the house, even though you are not there

Your voice now holds these walls
Your voice seems to echo through the walls of the house

With words you once said to me
I remember the words you said to me

Made me feel good about myself
Those words made me feel good about myself

I was captured about those eyes
I was captivated by your eyes, but I don't know what they truly meant

I stop for those habits
I try to hold onto the habits we had together

The ones that made you side
The habits that made you happy with me
