Comfortably Numb is a song that showcases the delusional feeling of being detached from reality. A lot of people who first listen to this or even search for its meaning on YouTube will find that the song is about drugs. But that's not true. According to the legendary musician Roger Waters, who actually wrote the lyrics of Comfortably Numb, who said that he came up with the idea of creating a new album by the name The Wall; this is the album where you can track the first appearance of the song.
According to Roger Waters, this song depicts how he felt as a child when he was sick and had a fever. When he became an adult, he got the same feeling again but the circumstances have changed a lot since then. He said he remembered having a fever where his temperature went to 105 and he started feeling delirious. He said it was not like he started seeing his hands like two balloons, but they were so swollen up that they were frightening to look at.
The Wall is an album that tells the story of a rock star, Pink, who finally shuts himself from the world by building a figurative wall. This is a double album where Comfortably Numb sits as the last song of 3rd side. In a song, Pink is in a hot mess, but he has a show to perform, so doctors are giving him some sort of adrenaline shot that could make him stand up on his feet and perform on stage.
