Welcome once again to Music Monday where I offer you all a song that I really like. If anyone wants to join in then please feel free to have a go! 🙂
Linkin Park: Numb.
I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I 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 undertowI’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like youCan’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!I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like youAnd I know I may end up failing too
But I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in youI’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like youI’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
Taken from the album: Meteora (2003).
And here’s the Numb/Encore version featuring Jay-Z:

Fab song choice – love Linkin Park.
Still heartbreaking that Chester is no longer with us, but he left us with some damn good music!

We Indians love songs , remember how every one gets gaga over Musicals in movie , well in India we may make crap plot filled movies but they all have about 8-10 songs and growing up I was too fixated on Indian songs and never explored any foreign language song , until NUMB . Loved this song , i felt it was relatable , I became a Linkin Park fan and now my playlist is filled with songs from multiple bands , solo artists from both India and US/UK , heck I even have a few anime OST.
Sorry for the long reply , This song just brings back memories . RIP CHESTER !

Okay I have to know: do you have a preference between the Jay-Z version or the original??! Whenever I hear the original I’m still singing the Jay-Z bits along with it 😂

Both are awesome.👍 I’d have to go for the original version but the Jay-Z one nails it too.

The original is much more raw and unhinged 🖤
