| Of Monsters And Men – Numb Bears Lyrics

Really not sure where the 'numb bears' part factors in, but to me it seems like it's about the search for companionship/friendship. I take the line "can't remember when it was dark or the sun coming up" to be "I can't remember when I had a friend that I could talk to" since it was preceded with the line "fishing for a friend." These "numb bears" seem to be claiming that she won't ever find a friend and she'll remain alone, yet she responds that she's either a) already found a friend or b) has given up looking for someone. Maybe the "road that's so steep" alludes to the slippery slope that she's on in terms of being alone too much. She could be "far across the ocean" in terms of isolation. Love the song, but i had no idea what it was about so I had to come up with something. Hope someone reads this and responds with their interpretation! |
