Numbered! Lyrics

Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are not alone
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are numb...

All the world's been waiting for a photograph.
All the time we've waited for a sign.
It'll soon be over, All we want is honesty.
It'll soon be over, All we've got is time.

Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are not alone
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are numb...

So, we search for home.
Only God knows God.
I'm alright to fly!
Only we both know we never once were right...
But we tried.

SING IT!

Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are not alone
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are not alone

SING IT TO ME!

Why must we die?
Let us be one.

Ah
We are numbered
We are numb
We are not alone

All the world's been waiting for a photograph. All the time we've waited for a sign.

That line makes me think it's about stardom, and the chorus ("we are numbered, we are numb, we are not alone") is about how it numbs you? Best explanation I can give...

Cover art for Numbered! lyrics by Devin Townsend

It's us singing. All the people in the world, in a collective conscious way.

We are all numbered by society, numb in our selfish lifes. We must become enlightened, start giving value to honor and honesty, so we can function as real communities, instead of this false american dream that we call life.

Also, near the end we sing: Why must we die? Let us be one. It's the human search to become one with god.
