The song "Numb" by Maddi Jane is about a broken relationship where one partner is no longer emotionally invested. The lyrics describe the narrator's feelings of being used and disregarded by their significant other. The narrator questions if their partner ever truly tried to make the relationship work or if their actions were driven by selfish motives. The chorus reflects the frustration and disappointment the narrator feels towards their partner. They accuse their partner of lying and being caught in their actions without remorse. The line "it's been so long that you no longer feel sorrow" implies that the partner has become numb and immune to the pain they have caused. The second verse delves into the aftermath of the breakup. The narrator expresses their annoyance at their ex-partner's attempts to reach out and ask for favors. They sarcastically mention how their roommates don't want their ex's car in the driveway, highlighting a sense of rejection and disinterest towards the ex's presence. The song continues with the chorus emphasizing the message that one cannot truly love someone when they are emotionally numb. The plea for their ex to not be numb suggests that they hope their ex can learn from their mistakes and avoid repeating them in future relationships. Overall, "Numb" explores themes of betrayal, emotional detachment, and the frustration of being treated as an afterthought in a romantic relationship.
