Underoath Lean Into Pulsing Electronic Aggression With Soaring New Song ‘Numb’
Underoath continue to dig out gems en route to the eventual release of their Voyeurist album on Jan. 14. The latest track to be featured ahead of the release is "Numb," a needle-moving track brimming with crushing electronic vitality. You can hear the track in full below.
"Numb" features the band's trademark aggression, even with moments of clean melodic instrumental back. Drummer Aaron Gillespie takes the vocal lead, taking listeners into a soaring chorus.
Guitarist Tim McTague says of the track, "‘Numb’ feels like a classic They’re Only Chasing Safety song done with adult minds and ideas. It’s the only chorus on the whole album that is just Aaron singing, which was a massive part of our DNA as a band in the beginning. It's rad to hear it come full circle." Get a closer look at the lyrics and check out the visualizer for the song below. If you like what you hear the track is currently streaming at this location.
Underoath, "Numb" Lyrics
Get it together get it together
We’re lying through our teeth now there ain’t no fuckin way outI can’t connect I can’t connect
Every word I say to you
Fades into the background
Open your eyes now open your eyes
Can’t you see were drifters floating through the deep endWe can’t just walk away
We’re covered in mistakes
I think we’re numb
There’s nothing left to say
We found our perfect fate
We got so numbI can’t fake it I I can’t fake it
We’ll never get this time back
I’m derailed and off track
I can’t believe it I I can’t believe it
This is what it’s come to
My life without youWe can’t just walk away
We’re covered in mistakes
I think we’re numb
There’s nothing left to say
We found our perfect fate
We got so numbYou are what’s real when I need it
You make me free I can feel it
You are my broken state of mindYou are a chemical reaction
An explosion that keeps on happening
I’ll never get out aliveI can’t explain this
explain the weight thats tied around my neck tied
I’m losing all faith and it’s pulling me apartWe can’t just walk away
We’re covered in mistakes
I think we’re numb
There’s nothing left to say
We found our perfect fate
We got so numb
