Can't get you out of my head

This happened quite a while back. I was sitting in the basement as usual, tapping away furiously at the keyboard as I either chatted or blogged. In the background played Joe's music; punk rock, alternative rock, hard rock, teenage angst-ridden rock. All the same to me. Cacophony.

That's when a line of the lyrics from one particular song caught my attention.

"I'm tired of being what you want me to be."

Hrmm, seemed interesting enough, I thought. So I paused my own Winamp player and continued to listen to this surprisingly bearable tune.

"Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes"

I almost immediately Google-d the lyrics, and surely enough, I fell in love with Numb. I'm almost certain that I had heard it on the radio prior to this, but I probably really never paid much attention to it. Just like most other things.

So, enjoy. I most certainly do. This song puts it right to the point.



I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've 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
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
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

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've 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

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've 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

[Chorus]
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.
