歌詞
英文
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]
I've become so numb,I can't feel you there
I've become so tired,so much more aware
I've 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 thoughtI 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
I'vebecome so numb,I can't feel you there
I've become so tired,so much more aware
I've 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
I've become so numb,I can't feel you there
I've become so tired,so much more aware
I've becoming this,all I want to do
Is be more like meand be less like you
I’ve become so numb,I can’t feel you there
[Is everything what you want me to be]
I’ve become so numb,I can’t feel you there
[Is everything what you want me to be]
中文
我已經厭倦了你期望我變成的那個樣子
蒼白的偽裝下,是信仰淪失的靈魂
不知道你對我有何期待
沉重的壓抑之下,依照你的軌跡亦步亦趨
(在思想激流中掙扎,在思想激流中掙扎)
我每走一步對你來說都是錯誤
(在思想激流中掙扎,在思想激流中掙扎)
我變得如此麻木,感覺不到你的存在
我變得好疲憊,卻更警覺
我已經變成,我所想要的
是更真實的我,變得不像你
難道你不知道你要讓我窒息嗎
抓得如此之緊,只恐期望在瞬間落空
因為你此前對我的所有期待的幻想
都土崩瓦解在你的面前
(在思想激流中掙扎,在思想激流中掙扎)
我所做的每件事對你而言,都是一種錯誤
(在思想激流中掙扎,在思想激流中掙扎)
我經不起任何一秒時間的浪費
我變得如此麻木,感覺不到你的存在
我變得好疲憊,卻更警覺
我已經變成,我所想要的
是更真實的我,變得不像你
我知道
也許我終將失敗
但是我明白
你我終究是殊途同歸,因為你也經受著讓他人深深失望的折磨和痛楚
我心如冰封般僵冷,對你的擺布已漠然無覺
我變得好疲憊,卻更警覺
我已經變成,我所想要的
是更真實的我,變得不像你
我變得如此麻木,感覺不到你的存在
(你所要求我的就是一切嗎)
我變得如此麻木,感覺不到你的存在
(你所要求我的就是一切嗎)
歌曲鑑賞
在《Numb》中,歌詞寫到“我”因為“你”的控制而失去自我,變得麻木,很自然的,出路就在於“我”要重新成為“我”自己。林肯公園不僅僅寫到了這種突圍,他們還非常難能可貴地寫到了一種寬容——“你也和我一樣,因為別人也曾對你失望過”,這就道出了人和人本質上的相似性,其內涵和禪味已經非常接近王國維的名句“偶開天眼覷紅塵,可憐身是眼中人”了 。 (《深圳特區報》評)
