Hopefully, you like this version, an acapella mixed with a beautiful epic symphony. Thank you, Chester Bennington, for bringing us this incredible song you've sung for all of us.

"I've become so numb, I can't feel you there. I'm tired of being what you want me to be."

Chester Bennington's message in "Numb" expresses the overwhelming pressure of meeting others' expectations while yearning for authenticity and self-acceptance. This powerful expression resonates deeply, highlighting the universal struggle between losing oneself to external demands and the desire to stay true to one's own identity.

Lyrics:

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

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
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

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'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

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

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
