Sia - Numb Lyrics






I saw you cry today
The pain may fill you
I saw you shy away
The pain will not kill you

You made me smile today
You spoke with many voices
We travelled miles today
Shared expressions voiceless

It has to end
Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you

It has to end to begin

Began an end today
Gave and got given
You made a friend today
Kindred soul cracked spirit

It has to end to begin

Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you

It had to end to begin

Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you

Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you

  7. r.... a....

    When you are helpless and cant get rid off the pain, it will come to a point that you will become numb and start to deceive yourself you are okay. Sia knows how to hit my emotions.

    beautiful song 😍 it

  12. D.... G....

    I think this song is about her sobriety & her partner's. Both struggled with alcoholism/drug addiction. "I saw you cry today.. the pain may fill you" indicates that Sia empathizes with them. While on the path of sobriety, they became emotionally numb. There was nothing to distract them anymore, nothing to take the pain and sadness away. "It has to end to begin" - overcoming addiction is hard, but they knew it needed to happen. One of Sia's best

  13. J.... M....

    Sia helped me through my first Nut Bust

  14. N.... N....

    Kissing pink

  15. g.... f....

    She helped me go through depression, I'm glad I'm out of that black hole, I'll do my best to always stay positive. If you're going through a tough time right now, just know that you WILL and you CAN be happy. Sia helped me, her music assured me I was not alone. You're not alone.

    g.... f....

    whaaaaaat? dude, i was talking about myself. of course i dont know anything about you. that's why i didnt talk about your problems but was asking what to do if the problems (mine) are not revolving around one's own life.
    no offence given...

    g.... f....

    dude you shoulda been more specific

    g.... f....

    +Royce Keen yea dude, you should have been more "specific"

    g.... f....

    Nah, life eats it...big time. No point to anything at all anymore

    g.... f....

    Dude fuck yeah. Sia's older music really helps me a lot. She's pretty much saved my life with her music. There's so much meaning behind her lyrics and the emotion heard in her voice just tops it off. I've been clean for 2 years now and her music is a really good coping mechanism. I just about listen to her music daily

  16. S.... ....

    Hunted down for this song for years after CSI Miami and have been hooked to her ever since. She's got a lovely voice, even for dance\electronic music

    S.... ....

    Salt96Life same...

    S.... ....

    I just watched the episode and came here to find it. Glad I did!

  17. D.... E....

    I've been crying to this song for the last 2 hours.

    D.... E....

    Dunkel Eon hmmm... I want a 3 year update.

    D.... E....

    Same here...but I was also crying to this on repeat...but that was like... geeesh....when did this come out???? Since then..lol

  18. C.... B....

    really beautiful

  19. H.... P....

    this lady is incredible. been hooked ever since breathe me.

    H.... P....

    Been hooked since Letterman ❤️

  20. S.... ....

    She has some serious song making credibility.  Every song she makes deserves a sincere ear.  No such thing as a bad Sia song......just good, great and awe inspiring music coming from this lady.  Kinda sad that she still is hardly really known.

    S.... ....

    That's changing quickly.. Too quickly for her - she's figured that she's pretty shy and needs to not tour and do the pop star thing. I'm thankful she'll still be making music, tho.

    S.... ....

    I like having certain singers that not too many people know about. Being a "pop star" would ruin her integrity and I like being selfish I hate when good artists get too mainstream

    S.... ....

    Some of her songs nowadays have a very similar formula but I agree the deeper cuts on her albums are all so incredibly unique

  21. i.... ....

    respect not only because it sounds so good, but because the lyrics mean so much

  22. m.... ....

    She is one of my very favorite artists ... this album is wow

  23. K.... G....

    I'd like to thank Pandora for showing me this.

  24. B.... ....

    @therealKINDLE How very conspiratorial of you, haha. I don't think that's what it is for me. I'm very well educated in music and like all kinds from hard rock to free form jazz to classical Beethoven. I'm not someone who only likes pop or dance music and can't appreciate anything else. I just find Sia's music dull, devoid of melody. Flat, lifeless. With the exception of Breathe Me, which is beautiful.

  25. K.... ....

    I'm afraid that this is a reoccurring detrimental fad & a symptom of "The Loudness War" that is currently destroying all our music. :(
    Well noticed tho ;) Good on you! =)
    The idea is to get noticed by bull-dozing quieter songs with smooth voices out of the way. They do this by compressing everything; so quieter sounds become loud, & the louder sounds become quiet. Resulting in a uniform volume that they can push up to MAX. Portable devices only respond to Treble, so they push it up a lot :\

  26. D.... B....

    Heard Destiny on Jo Whiley's radio show last week and have been smitten with Sia's voice - just angelic IMHO. Liking this track - she seems to nail melodic, slightly sad vocals.

  27. M.... E....

    Six Feet Under brought me here... after hearing "breathe me" I had to get the album, and discovered this gem of a song. Beautiful and so relate-able... absolutely love it. <3 <3 <3

    M.... E....

    Mitchel Emms Yes! Six Feet Under I discovered so many great songs and artists. Sia is my favorite and the grand finale for that show was life! I still watch it. :)

  28. B.... ....

    @Cha7d I absolutely LOVE Titanium, so if she did more stuff like that I think I'd really like her.

  29. C.... L....

    @BombWarning her newer stuff doesn't really have that quality so much but it's also much more pop

  30. B.... ....

    I don't mind her, but I couldn't listen to a whole album. The breathy, hardly-there tone of her voice would get on my nerves pretty quickly I think.

  31. F.... T....

    This song makes me think of a support group for drug and/or alcohol abuse

  32. F.... T....

    Free yourself

  33. T.... K....

    just, wow..

  34. O.... ....

    @Ballahollic0221 The power of string instruments :)
    It gives a sense of longing for the past, doesn't it?

  35. X.... ....

    anyone know where I can find an instrumental to this song?

  36. K.... K....

    heard this on csi:miami.. it made the scene wicked depressing but its a great song. i had no idea that sia sang it

  37. G.... B....

    her music is perfect for that rainy day that you just want to stay home and think

  38. A.... G....

    This song changed my life.

  39. S.... ....

    J'adore cette musique, elle gagnerait sans doute à être connue... =)

  40. S.... ....

    super schöner song

  41. M.... W....

    I love this song(:
