Numb
Marshmello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, I wanna get numb
And forget where I'm from
'Cause lookin' in your eyes
Like lookin' at the sun
I feel like you're the moon
I feel like I'm the one
I wanna get numb, numb, numb, numb
I, I wanna get numb
And forget where I'm from
'Cause lookin' in your eyes
Like lookin' at the sun
I feel like you're the moon
I feel like I'm the one
I wanna get numb, numb, numb, numb, numb

Wanna get numb, go crazy
Wanna wild out 'cause lately
Life's so short but amazin'
Late night party in the basement
Hotel lobby and I'm wasted
Just reached into my savings
I'll do it too if you take it
Yeah, life's only what you make it

I, I wanna get numb
And forget where I'm from
'Cause lookin' in your eyes
Like lookin' at the sun
I feel like you're the moon
I feel like I'm the one
I wanna get numb, numb, numb, numb

I just wanna get lost tonight and dance with you (oh)
I just wanna get way too high, let's set the mood (set the mood)
You're my fantasy, yeah, I don't wanna fall asleep yet
There's nothin' in this world I'd rather do

I, I wanna get numb
And forget where I'm from
'Cause lookin' in your eyes
Like lookin' at the sun
I feel like you're the moon
I feel like I'm the one
I wanna get numb, numb, numb, numb

I, I wanna get numb
And forget where I'm from
'Cause lookin' in your eyes
Like lookin' at the sun
I feel like you're the moon
I feel like I'm the one
I wanna get numb, numb, numb, numb





(I wanna get numb, numb, numb, numb, I)
I wanna get numb, numb, numb, numb

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Marshmello and Khalid's song "Numb" describe a desire to escape reality and feel numb through partying and getting high. The singer wants to forget where they're from and get lost in the moment with someone they are attracted to. The person they're with is described using celestial imagery, with the eyes being compared to the sun and moon. The singer feels like they're the one for this person and wants to get "numb, numb, numb" with them.


The song highlights the darker side of party culture and the desire to escape problems through substances. The repeated phrase of "I wanna get numb" emphasizes a desire to avoid feeling emotions and problems, instead opting for a temporary escape. However, the song also hints at a romantic connection between the singer and the person they're with, suggesting that there is a desire to bond through shared experiences of escapism.

Marshmello and Khalid never disappoints.
Silence is my most favorite song of all time.
Silence was kinda dark but this one has more chill and summer vibes ❤🔥🔥
