Numb
Love Equals Death Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I think I'll drink myself to sleep
No time to waste, just my sanity
I'm gonna drink myself free
I'm so numb
So numb I can't feel respect for the finer things in life
So numb
He couldn't get it together
Not even if he tried
They say his spirit has died
That's what they say
But we all make mistakes
I think somebody has lied
I'm so numb
So numb I can't feel respect for the finer things in life
So numb
I found heaven tonight
No time to waste
The first verse of Love Equals Death's song Numb talks about how sometimes having good friends and being indecisive can be comforting, but in this case, the singer has decided to drink themselves to sleep as a way to escape their problems. They see it as a way to preserve their sanity and gain some sense of freedom. The chorus then emphasizes how numb they have become to the finer things in life, feeling like they have found heaven in their altered state.
The second verse talks about someone who can't seem to get their life together and has been judged as having a dead spirit. However, there is the suggestion that perhaps they have just made mistakes and are being wrongly judged. The chorus is repeated once again, highlighting the theme of numbness even further.
Overall, the song seems to be about using alcohol as a means of escaping the problems and pressures of life. It shows the desperation of someone who feels so numb that they can't find enjoyment in anything else, and how that numbness can lead to a feeling of freedom and escape from reality.
