Numb
Veridia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd do almost anything
Anything to feel anything else
Hot blooded adrenaline
Give me more of it
No sleep, but it's all I know
Live fast just to make it slow down
Tension in the dissonance
Give me more of it
And life is perfect
Drown out the sanity
It's really perfect
When I can't feel a thing
I wanna go numb
'Til I feel dumb
Give me more drums
Turn the bass track up
I wanna go numb
I wanna go numb
'Til I feel dumb
Give me more drums
Turn the bass track up
I wanna go numb
Woke up, head is spinning 'round
Would kill the craving, but I don't know how
So sweet when I swallow the sound
Give me more of it
Falling on my face will never faze me
I don't need no one to come and save me
All I need is the rhythm to chase me
Give me more of it
And life is perfect
Drown out the sanity
It's really perfect
When I can't feel a thing
I wanna go numb
'Til I feel dumb
Give me more drums
Turn the bass track up
I wanna go numb
I wanna go numb
'Til I feel dumb
Give me more drums
Turn the bass track up
I wanna go numb
I wanna go numb
I wanna go numb
'Til everything's numb
I wanna go numb
And life is perfect
Drown out the sanity
It's really perfect
When I can't feel a thing
I wanna be numb
'Til I feel dumb
Give me more drums
Turn the bass track up
I wanna go numb
I wanna go numb
'Til I feel dumb
Give me more drums




Turn the bass track up
I wanna go numb

Overall Meaning

Veridia's song "Numb" is a raw and honest introduction to the struggles of addiction. The intense desire to escape the constraints of reality and numb oneself to the world are the central themes of the song.

The character suggests they want to feel dumb and chase the rhythm that would lead to them being more numb. Despite the consequences of falling on their face, they are not afraid as they have the desire to numb their pain, and all they need is more drums and bass tracks. Their addiction takes hold of them, and they are unable to find a way out, even as they acknowledge their actions might kill their craving.


"Numbs" is an intense and raw reflection of someone struggling with addiction, and the lyrics seem to suggest a cry for help amidst the darkness of the addiction.

Me: “Music always helps calm the anxiety attacks so I’ll go listen to music. Oh, Veridia has a new one out that I haven’t heard yet! I’ll go listen to that!” turns song on “DANG I AM OFFICIALLY DISTRACTED.” ends up dancing around bedroom at 6:00 a.m. Y’all are an absolute blessing, Veridia!
