Men I Trust – Numb lyrics

Men I Trust – Numb lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hon, please forgive me if I ever did you wrong
I'll be your candle; burn me upside down
From now on, I won't sleep on my arms
Numb, is how I feel deep inside my soul
Need to feel that I am on the line
I'm sorry that I dragged you down my way

[Verse 2]
Hon, I never meant to cheat you out of time
In cold mornings when our sheets are warm
I see a flower with no needles on (so far)
Stung, and there's a bee that gave it all away
Pretty eyes now filled with pain
A young confusion, what a shame

This song was written by Dragos. It's just so beautiful and it's my personal favourite.
It starts with an eerie glow of green aura where she is in vain and guilt of her mistake and seeks for forgiveness, but she is not aware of her acts of "mistake"..
She claims to be his "candle": simply brings light albeit it's wax and it is most often used when we don't have other sources of light! And the "burn me upside down" is my favourite line! Coz flames always oppose gravity, the one thing that every entity in the universe is attracted to!! And also the wax is burnt directly causing it to wither off more easily than ever ! She wants to help and regain her trust much better and would do anything for her!
An air of melancholy swirls around her as she has no one to sleep on, no one but her hands , she wants her wounds to heal and so she promises to not sleep on her arms,( you can see that in the 'lucky sue" video) !
She is numb inside ans wants to be happy , she asks for more forgiveness as she then realises her mistake.
This is only my interpretation, I've gathered as many interviews.. but I couldn't get any closer than this! Anyhow it's my favorite song as will be always special to me! Thanks
