I'v become so numb

This is the original Numb by Linkin Park and also the remix with Jay Z, I love both.   Until today I never truly got what the song was saying. I sing with the song all the time but more groove to it I guess. I had to slow down as I was folding clothes and it was taking every ounce of my energy to do. I concentrated on the music to get away from the pain and actually heard what the song said...for the first time..again   We all have situations like this at one time or another. A parent expecting too much of us, wanting us to be like them or as they WANTED to be. A spouse that, after years of marriage, finally realizes they can not change us but must finally accept us for who we are. The friend, that only sees when we disappointed them and not that they too are human and have left us short many times.   Well that's what the words meant to me, today, at this time. Listen to the song, read the lyrics and find out who you are making numb. Let them go, let them live, let them fail, let them be, then let them love.   http://www.pumpupthebass.com/stuff/Linkin Park - Numb.mp3 http://www.pumpupthebass.com/stuff/jay-z_feat_linkin_park-numb_encore.mp3   Linkin Park - Numb   I'm tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless Lost under the surface Don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure Of walking in your shoes (caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) (Chorus) I've become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired So much more aware I'm becoming this All I want to do Is be more like me And be less like you Can't you see that you're smothering me Holding too tightly Afraid to lose control Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart Right in front of you (caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) And every second I waste is more than I can take (Chorus) I've become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired So much more aware I'm becoming this All I want to do Is be more like me And be less like you And I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me With someone disappointed in you (Chorus) I've become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you I've become so numb I can't feel you there (I'm tired of being what you want me to be) I've become so numb I can't feel you there (I'm tired of being what you want me to be)               Our Radio Stream = www.pumpupthebass.com  Catch my show Monday-Friday 5p-7p central US time   You dont need anything special to listen, just tune in to the site at anytime to listen, chat and make requests
