2) In 1992, Takashi Kizawa was studying engineering at Institute of Audio Research in New York and, after returning home, started label KARMA MUSIC with CALM in 1995 and released a single "FILE#2 / SHINNOU".
He engaged in starting of a label Revirth and released 12 inch singles, such as "BEGINNING OF THE END", "ILLFUSION", and "89" in 1997. Then the first album "NUMB" released in 2002 vibrated all the feelings of those who listen it with the deep sound, which also has stillness behind the sharpness and violence. In sound performance, using laptop, NUMB manipulates beat, volume, sound effects, and the composition of music on real time using the MIDI controller, and performs physically.
If the sound is absorbed into the body, the degenerated organs are opened and cells begin to listen sound. The mysterious performance has obtained high evaluation both home and abroad like BATOFAR performed in Paris, SONIC LIGHT in Amsterdam, or FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL in Japan, Roskilde Festival in Denmark, Future Sound Of Jazz Festival in Denmark, etc. In May, 2003, by releasing the live album "TOKYO," which is the package of those sound performance, he threw out doubts at the town of Tokyo, which is changing with frightful vigor. Now his strong sense of wish to regain what has been lost in exchange for consumption and speed made the soul dwell in laptop.
In 2004, the sound is continuing creation of a new groove, covering electronica, techno, breakbeet, trans, hip-hop, and all. Numb is member of Ekoune Sound too.
3) Metalcore band from Tokyo, Japan. More information at MySpace.
4) Somewhere between electro-pop and heavy rock we meet with our interests and musical backgrounds. NUMB. is not a traditional band and we refuse to use the word „project“. NUMB. is a collaboration of three people with different experiences and abilities in the fields of composing, producing and performing music. Despite our different backgrounds we grouped together, because of our common interest to start something new. A collaboration with a philosophy of maximum artistic freedom and no necessity of compromise. http://www.numb-music.com/

BLOOD
Numb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am cold
Close your eyes
Give me your soul
Shades of warmth becomes a
Junkie's bonfire fix
And the heart it clings like death
My heart is an angry fist that seethes and rages
Against its cage
Sense your heat hide thy glow
Black silk feast a burning rose
Turn away from me
Let me go
Drawn and chased through the maze
Crazed dreams of pain
A kiss
I am cold
Close your eyes
I am cold
Drink your life from a glass
Drunk on love alive at last
Caress or razor its
Gone so fast
I am trembling my hand on the door
It is my secret I cant take this no more
The lyrics to Numb's song Blood paint a picture of a desperate and almost obsessive love. The first stanza sets the tone with a request for a soul in exchange for a kiss. Shades of warmth are compared to a junkie's fix, emphasizing the intensity and addiction of the love described in the song. Despite the intensity, however, there is a dark undercurrent present as the heart is described as clinging like death to the object of its affection.
The second stanza continues with imagery that highlights the conflict and pain involved in this love. The singer's heart is described as being an "angry fist" that is trapped and unable to escape from its cage. The third stanza is a plea for escape, for the object of affection to turn away and let the singer go.
The fourth stanza takes a darker turn as the singer describes being drawn and chased through a maze of crazed dreams of pain. The final stanza brings the song to a close with a repetition of the first stanza's opening. The singer is cold and trembling, unable to take the secrets of this love any longer.
Overall, the lyrics to Blood provide a complex and nuanced exploration of the intense emotions surrounding love, ranging from obsession and addiction to fear and pain.
Line by Line Meaning
A kiss
The start of a romantic encounter
I am cold
Emotionally distant and physically cold
Close your eyes
Inviting the partner to be vulnerable and trust them
Give me your soul
Wanting an intense emotional bond
Shades of warmth becomes a
The fleeting warmth and comfort of a drug fix
Junkie's bonfire fix
Desperately seeking temporary relief
And the heart it clings like death
An intense longing and yearning
To taste your neck
Desiring physical and intimate contact
My heart is an angry fist that seethes and rages
Tortured emotions and inner turmoil
Against its cage
Feeling trapped and unable to express oneself
Sense your heat hide thy glow
Feeling drawn to someone's inner warmth and light
Black silk feast a burning rose
Passionate and sensual exploration
Turn away from me
Feeling rejected or distant
Let me go
Wishing to be free from the emotional turmoil
Drawn and chased through the maze
Feeling lost and confused in the complexities of relationships
Crazed dreams of pain
Tortured by thoughts of what could have been
Drink your life from a glass
Consumed with passion and love
Drunk on love alive at last
Experiencing intense emotions and feelings
Caress or razor its
Knowing that passionate love can be dangerous
Gone so fast
Acknowledging that intense emotions can be fleeting
I am trembling my hand on the door
Feeling overwhelmed and needing to escape
It is my secret I cant take this no more
Feeling burdened by emotions that cannot be expressed or understood

I heard this track on a public radio show around 2 am in 1996 and had to call on the landline in my parents house to find out who this was. 22 years later this song still gives me the chills.
@darkskies45
25 years and it's still strong.

The goths, vamps and punks all loved this song.
@Eulogicloser
Why i never came across this gem is beyond me... Better late than never i guess
@zenrising3314
Everything about Wasted Sky was perfect. The artwork, the mix of melodies and harsh industrial sounds, the lyrics. It was one of the highlights in the industrial scene in 1995.
@jacknapier2202

@WillHarrisLV
