this song talks about a teen in school who always feels like nothing is good enough for his/her parents...like the begin *tired of bein what you want me to be.....put under the pressure of walking in your shoes*...something we all feel sometimes...It's about becoming NUMB to the feeling of being put down or discouraged because of parents expecting so much out of their kid. Then again, this could go with anyone not just kids and their parents, ya know?
