NUMB

NUMB ist ein düsterer Hip-Hop-Track über die freiwillige Betäubung des modernen Menschen. Der Erzähler beobachtet eine Gesellschaft, die sich tracken lässt, Lügen konsumiert und Kontrolle für Freiheit hält — und tut das mit einer Mischung aus Wut, Faszination und einem Hauch bitterer Zuneigung.

[Intro]
You’re so numb…
So sweetly numb…
So perfectly consumed…
So beautifully programmed.

[Verse 1]
You believe in your bank account, you believe in your boss,
you believe in progress – and you think it’s not a loss.
You believe in your phone that keeps telling you you’re great,
and you think you’re free when it buzzes and vibrates.

You wear your opinion like a QR code,
you check what’s allowed before your next upload.
Your thinking is tame, your doubting is quiet,
you run like you’re programmed – on autopilot.

[Chorus]
You’re so numb – got cotton where your brain should be!
You’re so dull – you’re eating lies for free!
You’re so tame – you call your cage „the good life“!
And I watch you smile – like everything’s alright!

You’re so numb – almost perfectly trained,
your thoughts are on lease, your will is chained.
You’re so numb – but you think you’re woke,
‚cause you clap for the hand that’s pulling your rope.

[Verse 2]
You let them track you, you let them scan,
you think the chip’s for dogs – not for man.
You trust the doctor speaking from a screen,
and you call it medicine ‚cause it looks so clean.

You live digital but your heart stays analog,
your brain keeps buffering – but you don’t feel the lag, bro.
Your horizon ends at the delivery guy,
and you think you’re rebellin‘ ordering vegan fries.

[Bridge]
I wanted to save you, but you swim so well,
in the stream of the normal, under the spell.
You’re so numb – and I love you for that,
‚cause you are the system – and the system is fact.

[Verse 3]
You’re so numb – you think the news is straight, bro,
you’re so numb – your outrage is just a show.
You’re so numb – you repeat what they say,
and call it an opinion at the end of the day.

You’re so numb – you hit share, you repost,
flexin‘ your conscience like you care the most.
You’re so numb – you march for the right
that nobody questions what nobody might.

[Bridge 2]
You’re so numb – and I say it with style.
You’re so numb – you’ve been played all the while.
You’re so numb – and maybe I am too,
but I’m laughing about it – are you?

[Outro]
You’re so numb… (yeah)
You’re so numb… (so beautifully numb)
You’re so numb… (you are the norm)
You’re so numb… (and I am the storm)

You’re so numb – you dance in a ring,
you’re so numb – you think that’s a win.
You’re so numb – and I see myself there,
maybe I was sharp once – but you got me, I swear.

[Coda]
Maybe we’re all numb…
Just running different software.
