He described the feeling as looking at the world through an inverse telescope, everything became distant and he felt weird. While he was eating in the cafeteria he all of a sudden got a very strange feeling, a sort of distortion of perception. Yet in another interview of Waters seen in Youtube, he claims that soon after the he divorced his first wife, he was feeling very bad or stressed out (can’t remember which one exactly). This drug obviously made him feel weird, but at the same time, when he looked at the crowd, they were all so “in” the concert, he argued he became “comfortably numb” at this instance. Now the effects of the medication he was given made it extremly hard for him to continue playing all the rights cords in the guitar.

I love the lyrics, I love the rhythm, everything. To those (few) of you who do not know what this is…they are part of the lyrics to Pink Floyd’s huge classic hit “Comfortably Numb”. Not to start an invasion of Pink Floyd threads (this is my last one, I promise), but I am very curious to the meaning, or other peoples interpretation to these lyrics. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, I cant explain, you would not understand. Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
