Numb by Linkin Park

Ok ... this shall be a post away from the travelogue.

Im sure many have heard about this song. This song talks about the singer's angst at being fitted into mould. Having to walk the line drawn for him. The question is should he toe the line, much to his own frustration? Has the other party seen the frustration faced by the line drawn?

In so many instances of human relationships, we tend to draw up our own expectaions, and try to impose it on the other party, without realising that the other party is frustrated over such an attempt. What justifies this is the satisfaction derived from having the other party toe the expected line.

As sung by Linkin Park, the frustration of the toe-ing party is belted out in this tune. Trying very hard to break out of the mould, he completely numbs his feelings towards the other party, so that he can breathe. Very touching piece indeed.
