La canción del fin de semana tiene mucha fuerza (o al menos eso me transmite a mí). Hace unos años que descubrí a esta banda y me sorprendió con su estilo musical. Tras el éxito que obtuvieron con su disco debut Hybrid Theory allá por el 2000, muchos fueron los grupos que copiaron ese estilo (no voy a decir nombres porque no me gusta ser acusica ;-)). Este Numb pertenece a su tercer disco: Meteora (2003).
Me encanta el videoclip en el que se muestra cómo se puede estar rodeada de tanta gente y a la vez sentirse tan sola. Y de la letra destacaría ese Estoy cansado de ser lo que tú quieres que sea.
Letra:
i’m tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
i 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[estribillo]
I’ve become so numb
I can’t feel you there
I 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 youcan’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[estribillo]
but i know
i may end up failing too
but i know
you were just like me
with someone disappointed in you[estribillo]
