Too Numb Lyrics – Sha EK

Too Numb Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
In the chorus, Sha EK expresses feeling emotionally numb due to the hardships he’s faced. He’s missing his child and reflecting on all the choices he’s made, some of which have led to pain and struggle. Despite his efforts to take care of his loved ones, like putting food in the fridge, he feels misunderstood and even wishes for others to wish him harm. He deals with his anger by turning to violence, losing himself in the process. Time feels like it’s moving quickly, and he’s been stuck in this cycle for four years.

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Sha EK talks about all the significant moments he’s missed, like holidays and family gatherings, because of the dangerous lifestyle he’s living. He knows his life is hard to understand, especially for those who are too young, and the constant danger he faces isn’t something people can easily grasp. He feels unappreciated, as the people around him never truly loved him. He’s seen online hate, with people wishing death on him, but he’s also holding a lot of pain inside. His frustrations build up, and when he lashes out, people wonder why he’s so angry. He talks about the fake people around him and how he did so much for others, yet they continue to turn against him. His trust in people is gone, and he’s tired of the fake love. Over time, his heart has hardened, and he’s left feeling like he has no one to turn to.

[Chorus]
In this repeated chorus, Sha EK reaffirms his numbness and emotional detachment from everything going on around him. He’s still thinking about his child and the things he’s done, but the weight of it all has made him emotionally distant. Despite being the one who provided for his family, he feels like others are wishing for his downfall. He handles his anger by picking up a gun, losing himself in the process. Even though time is passing fast, he seems stuck in his struggles, reflecting on how much has changed yet how little he’s been able to escape the cycle.

[Verse 2]
The second verse dives deeper into Sha EK’s harsh environment. He mentions the cold, dangerous conditions of his neighborhood, where not carrying a weapon could mean death. He refuses to be a fool like others, showing he’s not going to let his guard down. He reflects on his rise, noting that no one expected him to get this far. Despite being part of the drill rap scene, which some people dismiss as “dumb,” he’s found success in it, providing for himself and his family. He admits to feeling numb and in pain, and even though he’s well-known in his community, he doesn’t let it affect him emotionally. He’s come to terms with the fact that people abandoned him when things got tough, and he no longer cares about their words or actions. He’s hardened by the betrayal and continues to push forward.

[Chorus]
In the final chorus, the message remains consistent with the earlier ones. Sha EK feels numb to everything he’s going through, from missing his child to reflecting on his choices. His emotions have been dulled by the tough situations he’s had to endure, and he’s come to accept that people are quick to turn against him, even though he tried his best to provide for others. His anger still leads him to pick up his gun, and the sense of time slipping away makes him feel like he’s stuck in a never-ending cycle of pain.
