Airborne Toxic Event, The - Numb Lyrics






I've been in a daze
It seems like days that I've been waiting
For this dream to pass
It goes so fast
It seems nothing lasts
I think I've lost something

Stuck here with these people
Wide awake, the crush of bodies in one space
I feel your hot breath on my tongue
I wonder where you've gone

And the ever-turning spinning wheel of people, places, lies
I feel the restless beat of the sleepless night to come

I just want to be numb

Hopeless these three years like smoking gears
I go from place to place just aimlessly and half asleep
Like I'm falling alone in some endless breach

I don't know where I am
I don't know what I've done
I just go over it and over it again and again and again
I can't sleep at night
I cant breathe
But If I drink tonight, I'll get you off my mind

And the ever-present pit I feel
I'm turning on some spinning wheel
The faces and the scenes I see
And none of it seems real to me
Just the bleary haze of the morning still to come

I just want to be numb [x5]

    You know, I get upset whenever someone refers to USA-born citizens as "the Asian", "the Latino". I have never heard anyone referring to a white kid born here as "the German", "the Swedish" and so on. Why is that?

    That lead is so passionate and in your face, it's powerful. And the lead guitarist is beautifully ageless. God, I'm in heaven!

  22. G.... T....

    I've been in a daze
    It seems like days that I've been waiting
    For this dream to pass
    It goes so fast
    It seems nothing lasts
    I think I've lost something

    Stuck here with these people
    While you wake I crush our bodies in one space
    I feel your heart blood from my tongue
    I wonder where you've gone

    And the ever turning, spinning wheel of people, places lies I feel
    The restless beat of the sleepless night to come
    I just want to be numb
    Just want to be numb

    Hopeless these three years like smoking years
    I go from place to place
    Just endlessly and half asleep
    Like I'm falling alone at some endless breach

    I don't know where I am
    I don't know what I've done
    I just go over it again and again and again
    I can't sleep at night
    I cant breathe
    But If I drink tonight I'll get you off my mind

    And the ever present pit I feel
    I'm turning on some spinning wheel
    Of faces and the scenes I see
    And none of it seems real to me

    I just want to be numb
    Just want to be numb
    I just want to be numb
    I just want to be numb
    I just want to be numb

  34. J.... O....

    Love this song. The Airborne Toxic Event is truly underrated.

  35. E.... D....

    I learned about ATE with their first cd and have loved them ever since!!!!!!!

  36. G.... N....

    *cries for unknown reason

  37. T.... R....

    I'm just now finding out about this band! whyyyyy!?!?!? They are so great!

    T.... R....

    T Rains in life we miss out on so much, yet I am still so terribly sorry you had missed out on this for so many years...

    T.... R....

    Tonyia Rains better late than never!

  38. s.... ....

    The vocalist is a cross between Mick Blue and Robbie Williams

  39. J.... 0....

    Best band name after farting

    J.... 0....

    It's from a book.

  40. R.... P....

    Now this a band, full of true musicians.

  41. T.... A....

    i love this band i have every one of there cds and have see them live incredible band

  42. J.... ....

    I love this song, but the music video seems like it was done by a first year film student.

    J.... ....

    Yeah, this song is too good for this video, I think this album is fantastic.

  43. J.... T....

    Numb and dumb is how I wanna spend a potential President Trump administration. Lord, help US

  44. A.... C....

    does it matter how famous you are if you have a small dedicated fan base

  45. T.... P....

    Remember playing this song on Tap Tap Revenge..... Good times

  46. w.... f....

    These guys don't get enough credit, because most of the person in the world have a bad taste in music. Amazing song as all the other song.

  47. L.... T....

    cool song cool video.

  48. A.... ....

    This guy can play Kevin Spacey in biopick

  49. C.... M....

    These guys dont get enough credit. Amazing band and great songs. Hard to find these days. Everyone knows who Selena Gomez is dating but an awesome band like this doesnt get recognized??

    C.... M....

    +Donatas Stirbys True, but such a wonderfully talented band like this deserves to be a lot bigger than they are right now

    C.... M....

    True story, but the depth keeps us alive

    C.... M....

    just reminds me classic phycadelic furs,great music,great voice

    C.... M....

    Chris Mulligan

    C.... M....

    Have to agree with you Chris - there used to be a time when music was the driving force and soundtrack to our lives. Now people seem to only want to work out how to look like their favourite celebrity - I miss the time when musicians playing instruments in bands were revered and not overlooked.

  50. D.... M....

    Why is this band not more famous?

    D.... M....

    +bossdrive525 U know you did not just use SJW terms like White Privelege. oh my gosh, I can't I went there.

    D.... M....

    +Tony Daniels Don't even on this page.

    D.... M....

    @bossdrive525 what the fuck are you ranting about?

    D.... M....

    unfortunately the band peaked in like 2011 ...i want to say 2007 was when Sometime around midnight came and then it wasn't till All At Once which was like 2011 that they had a super strong demand for tours and such...

    I think its just age mixed with them not wanting a Major label...

    D.... M....

    Dane Luke Wagner, an idiotic assessment

  51. V.... S....

    Been a fan for 7 years, never, ever disappoint. This song is everything.

  52. d.... r....

    I've been following this band since 2010 and it's so crazy to see how the meaning of songs change as we grow. This song back when it came out was just another awesome song and now it means so much more. It's cool how music seems to grow and change with the way we do

    d.... r....

    I agree!! I've been listening to them since about 2008 and the meaning behind their music has changed for me since then. I also think that the band and the meanings behind the songs has changed a lot since then as well. It kinda feels like they grow as we grow and so we can both change together!

    d.... r....

    diana rodriguez So true, Diana!

    d.... r....

    Isnt it so beautiful? Feeling songs evolve for you as the days weeks months years go by? It's like magic and I love thinking about it as I discover new feelings and emotions.

  53. K.... L....

    I just discovered this band earlier this year. I was shocked when I googled them and they've been around sine 2008 if I remember correctly. You all have to be familiar with the classic song by Don McClean...American Pie! There's a line in that song saying "...the day the music died". It's not just a metaphor for me or anyone that has lost a very precious loved one that rocks you to your core. It causes the most agonizing pain that one can EVER feel. Especially if it is a parent who lost their only child or one of their children. God blessed my exhuband and I immensely entrusting 4 healthy beautiful babes into our care. The oldest and only son and 3 daughters followed having all 4 of them by the time our son had turned 6. Busy and blissfully happy was how I described my existence. As time passed and my children grew into young adults, they remained very close and tightly bonded. my son took the role of protector of his sisters at a young age and was there for them at anytime...just as the girls were there for their brother. I was proud of this trait that we instilled. This small talk is preparing me to share in the most devastating and excruciatingly painful event that took place in our lives on Xmas eve 2010 when my youngsters daughter had a fatal car accident. She was 3 days shy of her 20th bday. On that morning as Mother Mary was starting her labor for our Savior Jesus Christ, God and the Angels immediately surrounded my baby as the Hands of God lifted her SOUL up into heaven before the paramedics could even arrive on scene just 3 minutes away. Thanks be to God that she didn't suffer long, if any. That Christmas Eve the "music died" for the longest time and I wasn't even capable to realize it was gone. Music could be blasting from all around but I could not hear it. My other children at that time were 21, 23 and 25. Our lives kinda scattered as we each tried to continue functiong with jobs and school and found more comfort in retreating than trying to act normally in public. what is normal?? My marriage was suffering long before this tragedy and I found it necessary to file for divorce after a 27 year relationship or I knew I would NOT SURVIVE MY GREATEST LOSS with my ex who only had mean, degrading, negatve things to say to me and had told me a week after our daughter's passing that she hated me. I was prepared to go to a domestic violence shelter for emotionally and sometimes physically abused women. When I filed for divorce my ex completely cut me off financially removing my name as co signer on every account and took a part off my van so it wouldn't run. He left our family home of 25 years and moved in with a woman so the shelter became unnecessary. But, in addition to being in agonizing grief, I had to figure out how to purchased food, how to get the food home, how to pay for electricity & water etc. I had been independent all my life never thinking of asking for help at times we struggle. I had sustained a serious work injury that left me in chronic pain after my neck and back surgery and had never worked another day after Aug. 2001 when I got seriously injuries. I knew I was on God's good graces and tried to worry minimally about my survival which came earlier because I wanted to be with my daughter. God provided amazingly with too many stories to explain since I've already rambled on an on but I will say that out of the blue my ongoing workmen comp case was nearing trial ALL OF THE SUDDEN, and I was able to take and advance until things were finalized. I have to add that US Airways is one of the most reputable companies out there and I am forever grateful for all their TLC and ALWAYS having the highest of standards possible.
