"Numb" is about a deep platonic friendship, the
kind that in some ways is more intense that any romantic
relationship. "I feel everything four million times
more than anyone else--I'm very, very sensitive,"
admits Ghost, as she reveals the personal story behind
"Numb." "It's all about not wanting to feel
what I felt, wanting to anesthetize myself to the
relationship. But the irony is that I did feel it, of
course, otherwise I wouldn't have written the song. When
you're going out with someone and it's not working out,
you're like, 'Okay, finished, over, it's gone.' With
friendships, you can't do that, you can't just go, 'It's
over, it's finished.' You always just have to keep working
on it. The person I wrote that about is the person I love
most in the world. I love him more than anyone in my life,
any lover I've ever had. They bring great things to you,
but for every luxury, there's a heartache, there's a price
to pay."
I didn't notice you
Didn't have a point of view
All the things that mattered then
only really hit me when I saw that inside you were scared
lying on a bed of nails
build me up to watch me fail

I'm falling down
can't see the truth
I know the hell that you've been through
I'm falling out of love with you
but I'll find defences
I'll try to care less
Won't someone help me feel numb
Felt the sting of acid rain
Sweet messiah come again sitting on my pedestal
I never really felt at all that I'm the same person as you
I'm falling down
can't see the truth
I know the hell that you've been through
I'm walking side by side with you
but I'll find defences
I'll try to care less
Won't someone help me feel numb
I'll find defences
I'll try to care less
Won't someone help me feel numb
