Elizabeth Royall‘s Numb delves into the complex realms of mental health and addiction with a blend of alternative rock and indie influences. Beginning with a soft acoustic guitar, the song gradually builds, reflecting the gradual decline of one’s mental state. As the track progresses, it evolves into a fully stacked rock bridge, mirroring the intensifying struggles faced. Despite the challenging subject matter, Numb concludes on a hopeful note, serving as a poignant reminder of the inner strength and resilience present within us all. This compelling composition has earned recognition, including SOCAN’s 2024 Young Canadian Songwriter Awards, sponsored by SiriusXM.
