Numb
Max Jury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down that crooked road of sin
My momma locked me out again
And hung me high to rust under the rain
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
When I sing my stranger blues
I make it on the local news
Everybody likes to see you lose
And hang you high to rust under the rain
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
Little bluebird at my window
Sing a pretty song for me
Don't you know that you can fly, fly, fly away
Don't you know that you can leave
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
I am numb
The lyrics of Max Jury's "Numb" convey a sense of helplessness and despair in the face of personal challenges. The singer is struggling with familial issues, as his mother has locked him out and left him to rust under the rain - a metaphor for being abandoned and left to suffer. He also feels like an outsider, expressed in his "stranger blues," and notes how people enjoy watching others fail. These experiences have rendered him numb, which is repeated throughout the song as a mantra of sorts to emphasize this feeling.
However, the song ends on a slightly more optimistic note with the introduction of the little bluebird, a symbol of hope and freedom. The bird's ability to fly away from its troubles reminds the singer that he too can leave and escape his situation.
Overall, the lyrics of "Numb" paint a picture of someone who is struggling with various personal demons, but still holding onto a glimmer of hope for a better future.

Querida, aqui vou eu de novo
Por esse caminho tortuoso do pecado
Minha mãe me prendeu de novo
E me pendurou no alto para enferrujar na chuva
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Quando eu canto meu blues desconhecido
Eu faço sair nos jornais locais
Todo mundo gosta de ver você perder
E te pendurar no alto para enferrujar na chuva
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Pequeno pássaro azul na minha janela
Cante uma canção bonita para mim
Você não sabe que você pode voar, voar, voar para longe?
Você não sabe que você pode ir embora?
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado
Estou paralisado

Queria muito que as pessoas do meu país gostassem desse estilo de música.

Eu também, há músicas q são muito mais que palavras cantadas são a forma de demonstrar sentimentos onde a gente consegue chorar ouvindo e lembrando de um amor por exemplo q não pode ser vivido só sentido
