this song applies to my life in many ways but this one is the one that sticks in my brain the most. When it says "Every step that I take is another mistake to you" it means the kid feels like every thing he does seems like another mistake or problem that the parents disapprove of. the kid is feeling like he doesn't know them anymore. so they think they can control all of their kids decisions. they want to take control and relive their high school or college life through their kids. they used to be so positive and supportive and now they just want things done the way they want them done. When it says "I can't feel you there" it means that the kid feels as though the parents aren't as the kid remembers them. and when i tell them they seem disappointed and threaten to take things away. they want me to be just like they are, organized, straight A's, no late work.

#LINKIN PARK NUMB MEANING HOW TO#
when it says "caught in the undertow" that means that the kid doesn't want "the pressure of walking in your shoes", but he doesn't know how to tell them in fear of disappointing them. they want him to grow up as good as they were if not, better. basically, it's about a kid whose parents seem to be expecting too much out of him. i had heard this thousands of times before but it wasn't until recently that i listened to it and the meaning hit me dead on. 'Cause everything that you thought I would beĪnd every second I waste is more than I can takeīut I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control I've become so numb, I can't feel you there (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)Įvery step that I take is another mistake to you Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes I'm tired of being what you want me to beįeeling so faithless, lost under the surface
