For the past 100 minutes or so I've been listening to this song. Been doing the washing up as well (it's amazing how much more washing there is to do when you have someone over and keep stuffing them) and that left me thinking a lot while listening. Worked out that this song feels like two internal aspects of myself, although it's not perfect.

Linkin Park - Numb (YouTube)

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I 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]
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
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
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
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
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
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
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

i love this song - it was one of my 'freedom' songs when i was in the process of breaking free from my ex-husband... it said everything i wanted to say to him but couldnt. My current Dom knows this and always turns it up real loud when it plays in the car...

Yeah, it is a bit of a rebellious/break away song. But it is just so cool. Still got it playing after 2.5 hours.

This remixed version of this song that they used on Miami Vice got right into my head that I had to find out what it was and get it. Took ages to find out who did the cool part of the song as it was going by the remixed name. Part of me was sure it was Linkin Park but I didn't know for sure which song it was. So eventually I found out it was Numb and off I went to find out which album it was on so I could get it. I finally tracked it down to the Meteora album, which had been sat on my shelf for months as I'd only given it a quick listen and only found a few songs I actually liked. Numb being one of them, but I hadn't listened to it enough to know what song it was, just enough for it to be in the back of me head taunting me.

It's not really my cup of lemonade. Although it's pretty good for Limp Bizkit, but I'm not a big fan of there's, just like a few songs. Still I can see how it could be appropriate for emotional states.

Of course I've got taste. I like you don't I? You'd probably enjoy browsing me CD collection.

Seether is pretty good although not really heard much of their stuff.

Not heard of Stone Sour but YouTubing them and they don't seem too bad.

I don't really get to check out new music very often. No decent music channels and don't read Kerrang! or anything to find out who's out there.
