Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd:
Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?


Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.


Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?


There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.


Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.


Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.


There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
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.

Are you comfortably numb?

Not so much

No, not really so much lately. Waves of tears. Memories and tears.

"The greatest hoax played on the masses is that their individual voice is nothing amidst the cacophany of world events." - enpen, an Olyblogger (2006)

Numb

Have you heard the Scissor Sisters' cover of this song? Quite worth seeking out and listening to.
