Numb
McQueen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta break, gotta break right out of here.
So if you say, if you say you don't need me,
I don't really care.
I'm getting sick, getting sick of this illusion.
I'm getting tired, getting tired of your shit.
So if you say, if you say you're feeling needy,
I don't wanna hear it.
So it's complicated, so you're so frustrated.
So you're aggravated... SO WHAT?!
Go if you wanna, stay if you wanna,
Do what you wanna, I'm still numb!
Go if you wanna, stay if you wanna,
Do what you wanna, I'm still numb!
So don't complain to me I don't restrict you,
So you're free and I'm still numb!
I gotta make, gotta make a better judgement,
I gotta go before I make that one mistake!
So if you say, if you say you wanna save it,
I'll let it go to waste!
So it's complicated, so you're so frustrated.
So you're aggravated... SO WHAT?!
Go if you wanna, stay if you wanna,
Do what you wanna, I'm still numb!
Go if you wanna, stay if you wanna,
Do what you wanna, I'm still numb!
So don't complain to me I don't restrict you,
So you're free and I'm still numb!
So it's complicated, so you're so frustrated.
So you're aggravated... SO WHAT?!
Go if you wanna, stay if you wanna,
Do what you wanna, I'm still numb!
Go if you wanna, stay if you wanna,
Do what you wanna, I'm still numb!
So don't complain to me I don't restrict you,
So you're free and I'm still numb!
Go if you wanna, stay if you wanna,
Do what you wanna, I'm still numb!
Go if you wanna, stay if you wanna,
Do what you wanna, I'm still numb!
The lyrics of "Numb" by McQueen are about the feeling of being emotionally detached from a relationship that's not working out. The singer is feeling unfulfilled and trapped in their current situation and is yearning for something more. They express their dissatisfaction with the other person's neediness and complacency and want to be freed from these constraints. The singer is frustrated with the complexity of the relationship and is ready to move on, even if it means being alone and emotionally numb.
The repeated chorus of "Go if you wanna, stay if you wanna, do what you wanna, I'm still numb" emphasizes the singer's desire to detach emotionally and embrace their freedom. They are willing to let go of the relationship and take charge of their life, rather than being restricted or held back by the other person's needs. The song ends with a message to not complain to the singer about being unrestricted, as they are content with being emotionally detached.
