Comfortably Numb
Journey Through Desolation: Unveiling the Depths of Comfortably Numb
Lyrics
Hello, hello, hello
Greeting or attempt to get attention
Is there anybody in there?
Asking if someone is present or responsive
Just nod if you can hear me
Request for a nod to indicate understanding or acknowledgment
Is there anybody home?
Querying if there is anyone at home, possibly emotionally
Come on now, I hear you're feelin' down
Acknowledging the listener's emotional state
Well, I can ease your pain
Offering help and support
And get you on your feet again
Expressing the intention to assist in recovery
Relax. I need some information first
Request for information before providing assistance
Relax. Just to face the facts
Encouraging the listener to confront reality
Can you show me where it hurts?
Asking to reveal the source of emotional pain
There is no pain you are receeding
Indicating the absence of pain or emotional distress
A distant ship floats on the horizon
Describing a distant and detached perspective
You're only comin' through in waves
Noticing a sporadic and incomplete communication
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying
Observing that the speaker's words are unheard
When I was a child I caught a fever
Recalling a childhood experience of illness
My hands felt like two balloons
Describing physical sensations during illness
Now I've got that feeling once again
Experiencing a familiar but unexplainable feeling
I can't explain; you would not understand
Expressing difficulty in conveying the experience
This is now who I am
Defining the present state as a new identity
I, I, I've become comfortably numb
Declaring a state of emotional detachment
OK. It's just a little pinprick
Preparing the listener for a minor discomfort
There'll be no more hiiiigh, but you may feel a little sick
Assuring the end of a particular sensation but potential side effects
Can you stand up now
Checking if the listener can stand up, possibly indicating a medical procedure
I do believe it's working. Uh huh, Uh huh
Noting a perceived effectiveness of the procedure
Gotta keep it goin' through the show
Encouraging the listener to continue or move forward
Come on, it's time to go
-Gotta keep it goin' through the show
-Come on, it's time to go
-Gotta keep it goin' through the show
-Come on, it's time to go
-Gotta keep it goin' through the show
-Come on, it's time to go
-There is no pain you are receeding
Reiterating the absence of pain or emotional distress
A distant ship floats on the horizon
Repeating a distant and detached perspective
You're only comin' through in waves
Reiterating the sporadic and incomplete communication
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying
Reiterating the unheard words
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Recalling a childhood memory, possibly of fleeting happiness
Out of the corner of my eye
Describing a momentary perception out of the corner of the eye
I turned to look but it was gone
Turning to look at the perceived glimpse but finding it gone
I could not put my finger on it
Expressing difficulty in understanding or defining the perception
The child is grown; the dream is gone
Noting the transition from childhood to adulthood, possibly loss of innocence
I, I, I've become comfortably numb
Reiterating the state of emotional detachment
I, I, I've become comfortably numb
Repeating the declaration of emotional detachment
Uh huh
Verbal expression, possibly indicating affirmation
I, I, I've become comfortably numb
Reiterating the state of emotional detachment
