Numb fue de las 煤ltimas canciones que escribieron apenas unas semanas antes de entrar al estudio para grabar el nuevo 谩lbum, los integrantes de la banda mencionan que simplemente surgi贸 casi sin esforzarse.
Esta canci贸n trata de chicos/chicas que est谩n hartos de vivir con las altas expectativas que tienen sus padres sobre ellos,trata de aquellos que sienten que no pueden hacer nada para enorgullecer a sus padres, hacer que sonr铆an, que se sientan felices, que ellos puedan estar orgullosos de presentarlos a otras personas, tal como muestra la letra

Estoy cansado de ser lo que t煤 quieres que sea
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Sinti茅ndome sin fe perdido bajo la apariencia
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
no s茅 que est谩s esperando de mi
Don't know what you're expecting of me
puesto bajo la presi贸n de ponerme en tus zapatos
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Cada paso que doy, es un error para ti
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Chicos/chicas que necesitan un escape de las constantes decepciones de sus padres, que los atosiga, los asfixia, no los deja ser libres o experimentar lo que a ellos realmente les gusta por temor a lo que digan sus padres.
Boys/girls who need an escape from the constant disappointments of their parents, who harasses them, suffocates them, don麓t let them be free or experience what they really like for fear of what their parents say.
Me he vuelto tan insensible
I've become so numb
no puedo sentirte ah铆
I can't feel you there
Estar tan cansado
Become so tired
mucho m谩s consciente
so much more aware
me estoy convirtiendo en esto
I'm becoming this
Los invita a ser ellos mismos y no dejar que sus padres lo moldeen a su conveniencia.
It invites them to be themselves and don't let your parents mold you to their convenience.
todo lo que quiero hacer
All I want to do
es ser m谩s parecido a mi mismo
Is be more like me
y ser menos como tu
And be less like you
驴No ves que me est谩s asfixiando?
Can't you see that you're smothering me
apretandome demasiado fuerte
Holding too tightly
con miedo de perder el control
afraid to lose control
porque todo lo que pensaste que yo seria
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Se ha derrumbado justo enfrente de ti
Has fallen apart right in front of you
