It depends who is listening to it. Pink Floyd could have a total different idea of what "Comfortably Numb" is saying, but to us this song could mean something totally opposite. That's what is so amazing about music, especially Pink Floyd! the song is about..... | Reviewer: shanna | 7/9/08 OK people my interpretation is....... HEROIN your comfortably numb on it first of all... (just a little pin prick)= shooting it.... But you may feel a little sick= it does make you feel sick, Can you stand up? = obviously I do believe it's working, good. =looking high That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go.= now you feel better because if you don't have it your sick and that will get you through the show until the end There is no pain you are receding = you have no pain at all on heroin so that is the song take it or leave it its about heroin people! great | Reviewer: santosh hamal | 7/2/08 this is the great psychedelic song i have ever listened and gilmours lead solo of the song os great and roger waters vocal combination is too great also and i want to say as a whole pink flyod combination is simply too great Excellent song | Reviewer: Jerry | 6/18/08 This song ranks as my favorite song of all time. The crushing guitar riffs, heavy bass beat. It's no wonder the Floyd are considered by most to be the greatest band of all time. Many of the Floyd's later songs were about Syd. Especially Shine On and WYWH. Comfortably Numb? Nope. It's about Roger. He got sick, and the doctor's put him on morphine. "When I was a child, I had a fever. My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again. You can not understand. This is not how I am." "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. And I have become comfortably numb." That's a discription, verbatum, of his time on morphine when he was sick, not shooting up like some common junkie. It's also a common view that Numb has two parts. The dark part, verses one and three, which are sang by Roger, and the light parts, verses two and four, which are sang by Dave. The dark part is the doctor to the patient, light parts the patient speaking. Hello? | Reviewer: Anon | 6/18/08 You may reach a point in life where every childhood imagination and dream has gone, it created a pain so great it doesnt seem worth existence yet you learn to go on with life in a state of numbness, finding temporary relief to ease the pain with a drug of choice. VERY funny. | Reviewer: Breanna. | 3/24/08 Are you SERIOUS? "...because Pink Floyd, exept Syd, didn't experiment with drugs." Suuuure they didn't. You're really, really ignorant about Pink Floyd. Period. The song has a lot of different meanings, none of which we will ever really understand, because we didn't write it. People who try to interpret music don't really get the music, otherwise they'd just be enjoying it as music is meant to be. Don't lose the original illumination of our youth | Reviewer: James Plenty Stars | 3/13/08 "When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse ... out of the corner of my eye" We should not lose our original understandings. Our 'gift' was/is there in youth ... catch it again before it fades. Walk in Harmony Jim Clarification | Reviewer: Unimportant | 3/13/08 This song is definitly about drogs and Syd Barret, first songwriter and singer of pink floyd, who actualy detirment Pink Floyd's path, he got kicked out of the band because of his drug adiction. This song is not about any other bandmate or his addiction because Pink Floyd, exept Syd, didn't experiment with drugs. What I like is the guitar solo at the end of the song, realy powerfull stuff, especiouly the one that gilmoore performed on the P.U.L.S.E live 1995. Mind blowing. PEACE | Reviewer: Randy | 3/4/08 the guy who was ranting. you are completly right about everything you said. you put alot of feeling into your words and the things you said about the people of today dont understand good music,your right about that also. they sure as the hell dont. PEACE man... may god be with you What this song is about | Reviewer: Yoni | 1/30/08 I don't think there is much to dig while trying to explain a pink's floyd song, at least not on the basic level. This song is part of the album "The Wall". Pink, the main character has already built the Wall, and is now attempting to isolate himself from society. He takes drugs an allusinate (Bring the boys back home, Vera) but broken as he is, he still considered a great rock star. The song is about pink being dragged into the show (The show must go on). He is heavily on drugs and barely understand whats going on, what he says doesn't really make more than symbolic sense. The man talking is the "doctor" trying to put him back on feets, not for his own good but only so he can "make it through the show".
