Hello,
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?
Come on
Now
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like
Two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain
You would not understand
This is not how I am
I... Have become comfortably numb
O.K.
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working
Good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on
It's time to go
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I... Have become comfortably numb
it`s about what u want it to be...basicly it`s about a rock star who is unhappy and just going through motions of performing...he`s completly withdrawn in a hotel room...the doctor gives him an injection 2 keep him goin through his performance...oh fuck it listen and interprit it how u want or ask roger waters what it`s about
The song is a reference by Wright ( or Waters) being ill with the flu
before a show, and the doctors giving him a flu shot.
Anyone who has the memory of the initial onset of the flu knows you feel dizzy, and heavy headed.
The entire album is about ex-floyd guitarist and vocalist Syd Barrett and his drug use and madness, I've seen the original line up and this song live several times it always rocks live!!!
