Numb
Navigating Emptiness: The Journey of a Heart in 'Numb'
Lyrics
I'm not a smart man, I'm not a dumb man,
I acknowledge that I am not highly intelligent.
I get by on what I know
I manage with what knowledge I possess.
I'm not a nice man, but I'm not a mean man,
I recognize that I am not inherently kind.
I just wanna be left alone
I desire solitude and wish to be left alone.
I'm not asleep, but I'm not awake,
I am neither fully asleep nor completely awake.
I'm just present mostly, these days
I am mostly just existing in the present.
I'm not a sane man, but I'm not crazy,
I don't consider myself sane, but I'm not crazy either.
I just dwell on certain things
I tend to dwell on specific thoughts or issues.
Cause I'm numb, since you walked out,
I feel emotionally numb since you left.
& I'm done, with the fall out
I'm done dealing with the consequences of the separation.
I'm not a rich man, I'm not a poor man,
I am not wealthy, and I don't desire more.
I don't need more, I don't want less
I don't need excess, and I don't want less than I have.
I'm not a changed man, but I'm not the same man,
I haven't fundamentally changed, but I'm not the same person you knew.
I was before you left
I have evolved since you departed.
I'm not concerned, but I'm not carefree,
I am not overly concerned, but I'm not carefree either.
I keep my distance from unsafe things
I maintain a safe distance from potentially harmful things.
I'm not a brave man, but I'm not afraid,
I am not inherently brave, but I'm not afraid of what the future holds for me.
Of whatever becomes of me
I face whatever comes my way without fear.
Cause I'm numb, since you walked out,
Emphasizes the emotional numbness since the departure.
& I'm done, with the fall out
I am finished dealing with the aftermath of our separation.
I find some, comfort in that,
Finding solace or consolation in the numbness.
I'm numb, since you walked out
Reiterating the emotional numbness experienced since the departure.
I'm fine
Expressing a state of being fine despite the emotional numbness.
I'll be fine
Reassurance that the speaker will eventually be fine.
I'm just fine
Emphasizing the current state of being fine despite the emotional challenges.
Cause I'm numb, since you walked out,
Reiterating the emotional numbness and being done with the consequences.
& I'm done, with the fall out
Expressing a sense of comfort in the resolution or acceptance of the situation.
I find some, comfort in that,
Reiterating finding comfort in the emotional numbness.
I'm numb, since you walked out
Restating the enduring emotional numbness since the departure.
