Portishead - Numb Video and Lyrics

Numb by Portishead, Music Video and Lyrics

The band from Bristol, UK, has been quoted as influential by many modern musicians including Hip-Hop star Kanye West and Amy Lee of Evanescence. The Portishead live jazz samples and intentionally lo-fi sound that defines trip-hop could be heard live for the first time in seven years at the 2005 Tsunami Benefit Concert in Bristol.

Dummy is a darker in tone album than much of the music it later inspired, regarded as one of the most influential albums of the `90s. Presented below is the “Numb” single, a classic of the genre that previewed the entire album:

Portishead - Numb, Lyrics

Unable so lost
I can’t find my way
Been searching, but I have never seen
A turning, a turning from deceit

Cos the child roses like
Try to reveal what I could feel

I can’t understand myself anymore
But I m still feeling lonely
Feeling so unholy

Cos the child roses like
Try to reveal what I could feel
But this loneliness
It just won’t leave me alone

I’m fooling somebody
A faithless path to roam
Deceiving to breath this secretly
This silence, a silence I can’t bear

Cos the child roses like
Try to reveal what I could feel
And this loneliness
It just won’t leave me alone
And this loneliness,
It just won’t leave me alone, ohh no

A lady of war

A lady of war
