Cause I'm a dork
I decided to analyze a linkin' park song with how it appeals to me, and why I fell its a good synopsis of my feelings at this current time
Numb
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
-People say I'm a great guy, full of life and things along that line, but I don't know if its really in me or there just becase its expected from me.
I don't know what you're expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
-I seem to feel that I can't even begin to touch the higher plane of things I see in other people, and when they put me on a pedistal they've created, its hard for me to live up to thier expectations
[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]
- No matter how hard I try, I always fall short of my own expectations, and others underlying expectations. Like I can't achieve the greatness I aim for.
I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
- Tired of living the life I've been living, I see now that what I wanted to be, is not what I should be.
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you
- I dont want to live life anymore as this "great person" some people build me up to be. I wish I could be like that great person, and less like the failure that you see in yourself, but I know it isn't going to happen.
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
- The pressure is too much for my own comfort to be who I they think I am sometimes. when the people who hold me high finally realize that I am not who they built me up to be, the disappointment will be great.
[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
And I know
I may end up failing too
-I may fail and once again become someone I am not.
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
-thats ok though, because people are suppose to fuck up.
Chorus x2
