Pet Shop Boys - Numb Lyrics






Don't wanna hear the news
What's going on
What's coming through
I don't wanna know
Don't wanna know
Just wanna hide away
Make my my escape
I want the world
To leave me alone
Feels like I feel too much
I've seen too much
For a little while
I want to forget

I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be numb

Can't find no space to breathe
World's closing in
Right on me now
Well that's how it feels
That's how it feels
Too much light
There's too much sound
Wanna turn it off
Wanna shut it out
I need some relief
Think that like I think too much
I've seen too much
There is just too much
Thought in my head

I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be
Taken away from all the madness
Need to escape
Escape from the pain
I'm out on the edge
About to lose my mind
For a little while
For a little while
I wanna be numb

I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be numb

Pet Shop Boys Numb Comments
  1. S.... L....

    Habe meiner Freundin eine PSB CD zusammengestellt. Das erste Lied, auf das sie vollkommen abgegangen ist, war Numb. Danach ist sie zum Fan dieser Band geworden, weil sie die wahre Größe der Pet Shop Boys erkannt hat. Aber mit Numb fing es an.

  2. S.... R....

    I miss you Travis. R.I.P 04-08-2007 Not a day has passed that you haven't crossed my memories..

    This was the last song an Ex who was trying to work things out sent me before he died suddenly (literally collapsed at his desk moments after sending it through) - it still moves me to tears whenever I hear it despite 16yrs going by

  58. S.... G....

    I've read a lot of posts (and I mean A LOT) on one of the main psb forums that say this is one of the worst psb tracks ever released, lots of people were in agreement... I truly can't see why, I think this song is amazing. I know it wasn't written by them but still, it really is a great song! I don't care what anyone says!

    S.... G....

    @Jan Schäfer Strings arranged by good old Trevor Horn

    S.... G....

    It's my favourite PSB track. I suffer from extreme borderline personality disorder. This song sums up our lives.

    S.... G....

    @Kleb DeGracia the doctor who version Tennant and Piper version is much better

    S.... G....

    I haven't seen such posts. This song is brilliant!

    S.... G....

    Those people disliking this beautiful song have yet to experience life during a painful period of loss or grief. The same one's disliking this sing are probably the same one's that disliked "Behaviour" at first. That album was considered a "flop" when first released but now we all know what a masterpiece it is. It is now called PSB's best album. "Numb" is a powerful ballad that is beautiful and in time these children will realize it also. They probably people that have to have all their music at 128 b.p.m or above??

  59. R.... P....

    My song.....Thank you Pet Shop Boys. Legend.

  60. A.... C....

    Very appropriate for modern times

  61. p.... h....

  66. E.... C....

  68. J.... G....

    Love it great song and have to say this will be my leaving song

  69. S.... ....

    Awesome!

  70. K.... K....

    Very beautiful touching and hearbreaking song and video. Thank you. ❤

  71. P.... ....

    just unbelievable amazing this song great work!!!

  72. �.... �....

    Dianne Warren's lyrics <3

  73. D.... G....

    Never seen this video

  74. g.... ....

    Amazing video with stunning visuals....not to mention the hauntingly beautiful voices of the Pet Shop Boys........."I wanna be numb".....how many scenarios in our lives can this appeal to??!...."don't wanna feel no more.....".  This can fit all we are feeling if in pain,emotionally and in past remembrances....
       To wish to feel numb to blank out unwanted hurt is wholly understandable.
         To continue to be willingly numb means never letting others in for fear of similar experiences....pain,humiliation,insecurity etc.
       A very different aspect to being debilitatingly numb because of circumstances beyond control.
        If you realise you are letting yourself feel nothing because of a wrong situation,think again.
        Let the numbness go and feel alive again...what is it about someone that they can take you,mind and soul?...they are only a person......just as you are!
       Maybe the cause of being  needing to  "wannabe numb"  needs to be chopped off in order for the new shoots to grow.
      There are lots and lots of new blooms out there!!

  75. D.... G....

    The Best part of this song is between 4:00 and 4:15 !! The Keyboards are VERY Beautiful :):)

  76. T.... T....

    "I don't wanna feel this pain, no more"... how i understand you ;(

  77. N.... ....

    This music video... isn't this scenes from the ww2 battle of Leningrad? Probably the most brutal battle in the history of warfare.

    N.... ....

    Taken from the Russian movie Battleship Potemkin.

    N.... ....

    @Robert Butenhoff it isn't. Watched "Battleship Potemkin" three days ago (with Tennant/Lowe score). There were no such scenes. It was a documentary about Leningrad (St. Petersburg) in 1941-1944.

    N.... ....

    @Александр Булейшвили Thank you for the correction....

  78. F.... P....

    Such a simple song, yet so powerful. Underrated.

  79. M.... ....

    The Noisecontrollers song is dreadful. Don't bother.

  80. p.... ....

    Adoro a entrada apoteótica desta música....

  81. e.... m....

    watining Pease

  82. a.... b....

  86. 0.... ....

    Indeed I wanted to hear the original song of that lyrics

  87. P.... E....

    hahah NC are soooo amazing <3

  88. L.... L....

    This song is how i feel i feel like everythings closing in on me im actually Broken !!! :(

  89. M.... ....

    It's self-explanatory really, but seeing as you can't even spell 'idea' correctly, I'm going to go ahead and assume that your comprehension is as bad as your spelling.

  90. E.... T....

    NO WAR !!!

  91. F.... L....

    @TomOwYeaLOL That version is a disgrace.

  92. F.... L....

    Been trying to find this song since I watched that 2006 world cup compilation 6 years ago. Finally <3

  93. G.... C....

    @fillevans I remembered where I heard that she wrote it about her mother being ill, Neil Tennant says so in this interview at about 2:45 : watch?v=Q85Z75H03Hg It is commonly believed that it's about 9/11, but I think that's a fairly reliable source.

  94. w.... ....

    This was written by Dianne Warren in response to seeing the events of 9/11

  95. G.... C....

    @fillevans I remember hearing somewhere that she wrote it when her mother was ill with cancer. Is that true? I can't seem to find any info about it online.

  96. J.... L....

    if you like this and you like hardstyle, then listen to noisecontrollers - escape, it's really good :D

  97. C.... ....

    @TomOwYeaLOL im here cause of NC :)

  98. E.... ....

    God bless Diane Warren

  99. w.... ....

    Great vid. Sad reason why this song was written.
