Brand New Numb
Motionless in White Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I'm tryna fuckin' record this)
(Sorry)

I've got a shotgun tongue
And tick like a time bomb
All black everything
I've got a switchblade wit
That cuts like a bitch
And I think you two should meet (hello?)

I wanna break free from my humanity
I wanna release the animal in me
B-b-b-break free your curiosity
You're gonna give me what I need (I need)

I've got blood on my hands
No guilt on my conscience
The war in your path, the sex in your violence
All of my flaws, I wear 'em with honor
A purple heartbreak for all we've suffered

I am the enemy
I am the enemy
I am the enemy
(Here to save the day)
I'll be the enemy, e-e-e-enemy
I'll be the enemy, enemy, enemy

(I got a brand new)
(I got a brand new)
(I got a brand new, brand new numb)

I'm in your blindspot
God while I get your rocks off
Worship to the beat (brand new numb)
I wanna thank you, come again, that was great, do you need a receipt?

I wanna break free from my humanity
I wanna release the darker side of me
B-b-b-break free your curiosity
You're gonna give me what I need (I need)

Yeah, I've still got blood on my hands, no guilt on my conscience
The war in your path, the sex in your violence
All of my flaws, I wear 'em with honor
A purple heartbreak for all we've suffered

I am the enemy
I am the enemy
I am the enemy
(Here to save the day)
I'll be the enemy, e-e-e-enemy
I'll be the enemy, enemy, enemy

(I got a brand new)
(I got a brand new)
(I got a brand new, brand new numb)
(I got a brand new)
(I got a brand new)
(I got a brand new, brand new numb)

Give me liberty or death
Charge me more and pay me less
I said give me liberty or death
(Ah, fuck it, just give me death)
(Let's go, yeah)
(This one's for the underdogs)

I've got blood on my hands, no guilt on my conscience
The war in your path, your mind is the target
All of my flaws, I wear 'em with honor
A purple heartbreak for all we've suffered

I am the enemy
I am the enemy
I am the enemy
(Brand new numb)




I'll be the enemy, e-e-e-enemy
I'll be the enemy (brand new numb)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Motionless in White's song "Brand New Numb" delve into the singer's desire to relinquish himself from his human limitations and embrace the animalistic instincts that lay dormant within him. The chorus of the song repeats the refrain "I got a brand new numb," which could be interpreted as the singer's realization that he's numbed the pain of the outside world by embracing his animalistic personality. The verses of the song paint a picture of a violent, dark, and undeniably disturbing personality, with lyrics about a "shotgun tongue," "tick like a time bomb," and "blood on my hands" driving home the point that the singer is far from stable.


The lines "Give me liberty or death, Charge me more and pay me less" point towards the societal frustration the singer is feeling. He feels done with the system and wants to be free even if it means death. The song points towards aggression, violence, and numbness as a way of dealing with the outside world.

And I think you two should meet
I want to use my wit to hurt someone specific


I wanna break free from my humanity
I want to escape the limitations of being human


I wanna release the animal in me
I want to tap into my primal instincts and desires


Break free (from) your curiosity
Stop trying to understand me and just accept me for who I am

I'm in your blindspot
You do not see me coming, I am a threat


God while I get your rocks off
I enjoy watching you suffer or be uncomfortable, it makes me feel powerful


Worship to the beat
I want you to idolize me and my music


I wanna thank you, come again, that was great, do you need a receipt?
I am being sarcastic and dismissive towards someone who has criticized me


Give me liberty or death
I will not be controlled or oppressed by anyone or anything


Charge me more and pay me less
I am tired of being taken advantage of by the system


Ah, fuck it, just give me death
I am so fed up with life that I would rather die than keep going


This one's for the underdogs
I am speaking to those who feel marginalized and unheard in society


The war in your path, your mind is the target
I see your thoughts and emotions as something I can manipulate and control


(Brand new numb)
I am still feeling detached and indifferent towards everything
