Numb
Vent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You need to know
just how she feels inside.
You grip her throat.
She begins to cry.
When you tear she will bleed more.
You don't care that she's screaming.

She was infected.
When will her pain go numb?
She was infected.
When will her pain go numb?
When will her pain go numb.

And It hurts to know.
It hurts to know inside.
It won't go.
The pain will never die.
When she sleeps
she will feel you.
As she sleeps
she will see you.

She was infected.
When will her pain go numb?
She was infected.
When will her pain go numb?

You don't seem to listen to screams.
So why don't you listen to me?
No is all no will ever mean.

She was infected.
When will her pain go numb?
She was infected.
When will her pain go numb?
She was infected.
When will her pain go numb?




She was infected.
When will her pain go numb?

Overall Meaning

The song "Numb" by Vent is a powerful commentary on the experience of domestic violence and the impact it has on the victim. The lyrics describe the physical and emotional abuse inflicted upon a woman by her partner, who does not care about her suffering. The line "You need to know just how she feels inside" suggests that the abuser is aware of the pain he is causing, but does not care enough to stop. The image of him gripping her throat and causing her to cry is a chilling reminder of the violence that occurs behind closed doors.


The song also explores the psychological damage that domestic violence can cause. The line "When she sleeps she will feel you" suggests that the victim cannot escape the trauma, even in her dreams. The repetition of the question "When will her pain go numb?" highlights the feeling of hopelessness and despair that can arise from prolonged abuse. The victim may begin to feel that the only way to cope is to detach from her own emotions, to become numb to the pain.


Overall, "Numb" is a haunting and poignant representation of the devastating impact of domestic violence. It serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing and speaking out against abuse, and of supporting those who have been affected by it.
