A magic power of music

To the most people, "LinKin Park" is just one of the rock-and-roll band that makes noisy music. However, as far as I'm concerned, it's not exactly a typical rock band as same as in the past. The six members: Chester, Mike, Rob, Brad, Joseph and Phoenix who come from different background have various opinions on music. Their songs, therefore, are presented in many kinds of styles. Such as heavey metal, hip-hop, electron music and so on.

In addition, the reason why I like "LinKin Park" is because it notices some important phenomenons that other music groups usually ignore. Recently, "LinKin Park" has been awaring of many vital issues of human beings, including global warming, poverty and starving, racial discrimination and some teenagers' problems in their lives.

The song "Numb" is a story which describes a teenager's ambivalence. The heavy beat from the drum and the sorrowful melody show a teenager's fragile spirit. Moreover, the lyrics of this song tell me that the young boy is eagerly finging a girl who he belongs to.

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 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
I've become so tired, so much more aware
I've 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 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
I've become so tired, so much more aware
I've 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
