Of Monsters And Men – Numb Bears Lyrics 2 years ago
An interpretation on the premise that "Numb Bears" in the song lyrics specifically represent people who doubt the survival of their love, as mentioned in another comment, referring to other tracks on the album.

In this context, the song could tell of a relationship in which the partners are emotionally alienated or jaded because they have doubts about the future of their love.

The lines "Far across the ocean alone, while numb bears at home" could mean that the partners are emotionally distant from each other, perhaps even in different emotional worlds, while at home together. The phrase "Said I could never get there, but I'm already there" could indicate that they may feel that they cannot change their partner's feelings, but perhaps they have accepted the relationship anyway.

In this context, the song could be a reflection on the difficulties and insecurities in a relationship where the love or connection between partners is in question. The repetition of "Already there" could mean that they are already in this emotional challenge and are trying to deal with it in their own way.
