• I think that this is a religious song. The first verse: "I'm tired of being what you want me to be" is like you feel like that everything you want to do is considered a sin and you're tired of it. And compared to the other saints around you, you're "feeling so faithless" and "lost under the surface". You don't know how you would succeed in satisfying everyone when you're "put under the pressure of walking in [the Saint's] shoes". The second verse describes the way that you feel smothered when God's hand is closing around you, trying to mold you into the perfect person. It feels as though He's afraid to lose control. And everything that He had planned *for* you had "has fallen apart right in front of [Him]" .You're just not the right fit for His plans. Everything you try to do to fix what you had done is just "another mistake to [Him]" and you're wasting time trying to fix everything and it's just too much. You feel like you're "caught in the undertow" because you're just okay enough to not need to be saved, yet just lost enough to be hurting. After all these things you've been through you feel so numb, numb enough not feel God's grace anymore. You're so tired of living like this and you're aware that you have to change. You're becoming the sins you are commiting, but in the end all you want to do is differentiate between you and Him. You might fail now and you know this. And you know that all the saints around you were also failures too. Supporting my views: The numb video takes place in a church. They play in a church, but the girl is too late to find God in the end.
