Mashed Up As: Numb / Encore by Jay-Z & Linkin Park
Numb / Encore (featuring Jay-Z) by Linkin Park
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I 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 that 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
Become so tired
So much more aware

I'm 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 that I take is another mistake to you

Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow

And every second I waste
Is more then I can take!

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware

I'm 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

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware

I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Tired of being what you want me to be

Why the hell is there so many comments on this song???? There is nothing special about ti. Just another God Damn song is is played non-stop an muchmusic and annoys the fuck out of people. If you like one song from these guys, you're gonna like them all becasue everything sounds exactly the same. A guy screaming his annoying voice, while another guy attempts to rap (and fails) with cheap techno beats and a DJ thatdoesn't know what an actual record is. These guys are horrible. Just another fucking pop band.

Except for Breaking the Habit I hate Every single Linkin Park song there is. Like Cratic says here and i've said on different songs they always sounds the same! Every fucking time. I haven't got a clue why this song is the most populair because It's isn't special or anything. Maybe someone popualir ever said that this was his/her favorite and everyone want the look like the populair one so everbody says this is their favorite one. That's really the only theory i can come up with.

okay if you dont lke song usually that means you cant relate to it(because that is what most Linkin park songs are...you have to be able to realte to them or the song) I personally love the song and Linkin Park. I think this one of the best on the cd and it acually makes sense with video(unlike some of there other videos). to all those "haters" why take the time to hate them its useless. Just get over it and dont listen to the damn song anymore...and go back to your own music that you actually like.

Relateing to the music is a key factor in whether you'll like the song or not, everyone knows that, but it still remains a fact that it is all about the music. These guys just arn't good. Plain and simple. If you want an explanation of why they arn't good, read my last comment. And ppl can caomment on whatever they want to comment on. People explain it how they see it, and it's called criticism.

i know its criticism but why? I mean really...what is the point in wasteing your time talking about a band that you dont even like. Unless somewhere in you, you really do like them but dont want your group of friends to know or maybe someone you like...but then your just lying to yourself and i know thats not good for your inner soul(hahaha i knew i could use what my phyciratrist told me somewhere else). but really why go to there fans who know more (and get more) about that band then you'll ever know?!!

Because it lets other ppl who like the same style of music as you do, know what to expect with the band. Just because someone says something bad about the song, doesn't mean that they "secretly" like it. And plus I already commented on basically everything that I like, and it's a hell of a lot of fun pissing off fans and getting into arguments. But that's just the way I feel.

Guys are right about saying all Linkin Park's Song sound the same. The only difference in the song is Fart. Oops i mean Faint. Oh yea not bad song actually, but it gets fucking loud after some time. Go listen Metallica, it would never be loud, go listen to James the way he composes lyrics. It never gets bored. Linkin Park can never play soft and energies the crowd. All they ever do is play fucking loud and the crowd goes insane with them. Irrelevant common sense. But the only thing i do admire is for Chester shouting his fucking heart out. Very nice throat.

I'll take metallica over these guys any day, but seriously, metallica isn't anything spectacular. They do have some good songs out there (enough to make a good greatest hits cd) but a lot of their stuff (especially the last couple albums) are pretty boring and repetative.

Why the Hell are people comparing Metallica to Linkin Park. And My answer is of course logical since Metallica is like my favourtie band. But Cratic why don't you think Metallica isn't spectacular.
