Numb Lyrics By Linkin Park

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
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 undertow)

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can'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

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

[Chorus]
I'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

WHAT IS THE THEME TO NUMB??? 

The Theme

"Numb" talks about someone who has lost themself and forgotten who they are due to the fact that other people are pressuring them into being what they want them to be. The song is being told supposedly by a teenager, as the music video shows several scenes centered around a teenage girl and her mother.

"Numb" has been interpreted as being about how young people (mainly teenagers) feel pressure in being able to live up to many expectations, especially relatives (most likely parents). The lyrics "All I want to do/Is be more like me and be less like you" portraits that fact perfectly. The message brought out from the bridge tell about the hardships that the directed person has felt. Even though the stereotype of teens who are depressed or sick of their lives still exists, it doesn't lose its meaning to that individual.
