Was I just a number to you?
Was I just a lonely girl to fight?

The song "Numbers" by Twigs is an emotional piece about the feeling of being used and discarded by someone you loved. The lyrics question whether or not the relationship was ever genuine, or if the singer was only a number to their partner. The repetition of the line "Was I just a lonely girl to fight?" emphasizes this feeling of being used for emotional labor and support, without any reciprocal love or commitment from the other person.
The line "Tonight, do you want to live or die?" can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be a threat, with the singer suggesting that they have the power to end the other person's life. Alternatively, it could simply be an expression of despair and hopelessness, as the singer feels that their life is not worth living without the love of the person who treated them as just another number.
The second half of the song shifts the focus to the aftermath of the relationship. The singer asks why their partner had to hurt them and make them cry, and expresses a desire to see them again. However, the line "now go clean the mess you made" suggests that they are holding the other person responsible for their actions and the pain they caused.
Overall, "Numbers" is a powerful expression of the pain and confusion that can come with being used by someone you loved. The lyrics capture a sense of betrayal and worthlessness that can be difficult to articulate but is all too relatable for many people.

I am so in love with Twigs it hurts. One of my favorite songs from LP1 but I wish this live remix was a bit more refined on the production side.

You have to understand the emotional outreach of this song and the remix on live. Saddest thing that I can relate too. Numbers is just an sentimental productive melancholic threnody bell song for happy thoughts which resembles me.
