"Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, Come on, Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well, 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 aaaaaaaaah!
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.
but I have become comfortably numb."

Songwriters: Gilmour, David Jon; Waters, Roger;

Well, Jawshoewhah.... I put the link with that song.... The story is about a mental statement, not physical condition...comfortable numb is about him(or us) completing his isolation from the world
and realizing he has come this far and can't turn back. its being
comfortable with no emotions and feelings, being numb. its about
breaking up homes because of his regret of losing control and running
home, its about being so complacent behind the 4 walls and just being
content with sadness and loneliness. its about being stubborn and
foolish in the worst possible way, choosing isolation over love and
social interaction. It is a state of being where you are no longer in any emotional pain
and do not care about any physical pain...its about the wall in us. Reply »
