Numb
Embracing Numbness: Breaking Free from Deceit and Pain
Lyrics
Incipe memoriam
Begin the memory
Incipe abicere
Begin to cast away
Desiste ab memoria
Stop from memory
Let me go numb
Expressing a desire to feel emotionally numb
Omitte nunc dolores
For now, ignore the pain
Quid agis nihil moror
What are you doing? I don't care
Retineri non possum
I cannot be held back
Let me go numb
Expressing a desire to feel emotionally numb (repeated)
You were so good a liar
Referring to someone as skilled in deception
And I was so in love
Expressing deep love despite the deception
That I invited in the pain
Accepting emotional pain willingly
I had to learn with fire
Learning through intense and painful experiences
After a flame is snuffed
After a relationship ends, only memories remain
Only the ashes still remain
Metaphorically, only the aftermath and scars endure
Now that I fin'ly see you
Seeing someone's true nature
As you are
Accepting someone for who they truly are
Must I be forced to see you
Feeling compelled to acknowledge the scars from the relationship
In every scar?
Encountering reminders of pain in every scar
Incipe memoriam…
Reiteration of beginning the memory
Practicing blackest magic
Engaging in dark and harmful practices
You cast a spell on me
Being enchanted or manipulated by someone
That even today is hard to break
Struggling to break free from the effects of manipulation
While it was turning tragic
Realizing the situation is becoming disastrous
Part of me stayed deceived
Remaining deceived and holding onto false beliefs
Part me clung to my mistake
Clutching onto mistakes despite awareness
Now that I fin'ly see you…
Reiteration of seeing someone's true nature
Incipe memoriam…
Reiteration of beginning the memory
If I'm to survive
Surviving and moving forward
Make a new life
Create a new life to survive
I need to become
Become emotionally detached
Totally numb
Expressing a strong desire to feel emotionally numb (repeated)
Now that I fin'ly see you…
Reiteration of seeing someone's true nature
Now that I fin'ly see you…
-Incipe memoriam…
Final reiteration of beginning the memory
