This song is a drug song and it is about Sid, the leader of Pink Floyd, when he did drugs and when he was very crazy when he took these drugs. But, this song has a very good theme to it. The theme of this poem is that you should never do drugs for any reason. This entire song is about when he was on this drug and he couldn't feel anything and could barely talk to anyone. Also, there are many examples of figurative language in this song to show that he was a very messed up man after taking this kind of drug. Sid also had mental issues as well as doing drugs. Therefore, this song has a very good theme to it and is a very good song in general.

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
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
This verse is explaining before he took the drug and when he was a kid he saw something out of the corner of his eye that was very weird but when he looks, there is nothing there. He doesn't understand why but, that was all a dream and that now he did this, he is comfortably numb. This is an example of an illusion when he sees something that really wasn't there or that it real in the first place.

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
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

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
Two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain

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

This is explaining how the man has no pain anymore and that they cant understand what he is saying or if he is explaining anything to them.

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
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?
