Numb
Breaking Free: Navigating the Struggle for Authenticity
Lyrics
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I'm expressing fatigue from conforming to your expectations.
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Feeling hopeless and disoriented beneath the surface.
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Uncertain about the expectations placed upon me.
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Feeling pressured to live up to your standards.
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Every action I take is perceived as a mistake by you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Caught in a difficult situation, struggling to break free.
I've become so numb
I've emotionally detached and become insensitive.
I can't feel you there
I cannot sense your presence or emotions anymore.
Become so tired
Experiencing weariness from the effort to conform.
So much more aware
Becoming more conscious and enlightened about my situation.
I'm becoming this
Transforming into a state I may not want to be in.
All I want to do
All I desire is to be true to myself.
Is be more like me
Striving to embrace my individuality.
And be less like you
Seeking to distance myself from your influence.
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Feeling suffocated and overwhelmed by your presence.
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
Questioning if you're holding onto control too tightly.
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
The image you had of me has shattered.
Has fallen apart right in front of you
My every move is perceived as a failure by you.
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Continuing to make mistakes in your eyes.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Still caught in a challenging situation.
And every second I waste is more than I can take
Every passing moment adds to my struggle.
I've become so numb
Emotionally numb and disconnected.
I can't feel you there
Your presence is not felt or acknowledged.
Become so tired
Experiencing exhaustion from the ongoing battle.
So much more aware
Becoming more cognizant of the situation.
I'm becoming this
Transforming into a state I may not want to be in.
All I want to do
Desiring authenticity and self-acceptance.
Is be more like me
Striving to be true to my own identity.
And be less like you
Seeking to distance myself from your influence.
And I know
Expressing awareness of potential failure.
I may end up failing too
Acknowledging the possibility of facing setbacks.
But I know
Recognizing similarities with someone disappointed in me.
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
Understanding that you, too, faced disappointment.
I've become so numb
Emotionally detached and insensitive.
I can't feel you there
Your presence is not felt or acknowledged.
Become so tired
Experiencing exhaustion from the ongoing battle.
So much more aware
Becoming more cognizant of the situation.
I'm becoming this
Transforming into a state I may not want to be in.
All I want to do
Desiring authenticity and self-acceptance.
Is be more like me
Striving to be true to my own identity.
And be less like you
Seeking to distance myself from your influence.
I've become so numb
Emotionally detached and insensitive.
I can't feel you there
Your presence is not felt or acknowledged.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
Expressing fatigue from conforming to your expectations.
I've become so numb
Emotionally detached and insensitive.
I can't feel you there
Your presence is not felt or acknowledged.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
Expressing fatigue from conforming to your expectations.
