Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd

![The Wall by Pink Floyd](https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music49/v4/0f/f8/be/0ff8be03-465c-c0ce-4fe1-2db52ea50753/886445635850.jpg/600x600bf.png) Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone at home? 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 the 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 I have become comfortably numb Okay Just a little pinprick There'll be no more 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 the 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 I have become comfortably numb Lyrics from Google Search

Reflections

From the artist's eyes, it's a song about how he borderline overdosed on some drugs and was brought back to life by a doctor just before a live performance. This was the sequence of dialogue between them. For me, it's a little more than that. In my eyes, the song talks about how we tend to run away from pain and enclose ourselves in our own tiny bubble inside of our head. It is comfortable there, even though it is numb. We would rather face the numbness than face the pain and sorrow that our lives may inflict upon us. However, that is not the path of growth. Sometimes, we must grit our teeth through the pain and face our fears to see the light of day. And when we have enclosed ourselves in a little bubble like that, it is often our own selves who must act as a friend to help us climb out of it and gently start moving towards growth again. A friend who can do it for you is a blessing to never let go.
