Numb

About Numb

"Numb" is a song about the pressure to succeed and the sacrifices one makes to achieve success. The opening verse portrays the singer's feeling of being stuck in a cycle of trying to succeed, unable to break free and catch a breath. The pre-chorus suggests that the pursuit of success has left her feeling numb and disconnected, and the only way to climb higher is to get low. The chorus repeats the theme of sacrifice as a means to achieve success and calls out for burning bright in a reasonable way. .
