Numb
Mr. Pink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?)

Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone 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 smoke on the horizon
You are 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 (okay, okay, okay)
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more, ah
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, smoke on the horizon
You are 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

Overall Meaning

The song "Numb" by Mr. Pink is a cover of the classic Pink Floyd song "Comfortably Numb." The lyrics depict a conversation between a doctor and a patient, with the doctor attempting to ease the patient's pain by getting them to relax and taking away their ability to feel. The opening lines ask if anyone is there and if the person being addressed can hear the doctor. The doctor tries to get basic information about the patient's pain and asks if they can show where it hurts. As the song progresses, the patient's pain recedes, and they become "comfortably numb." The second verse depicts the patient's childhood memories of having a fever and feeling as if their hands were balloons. They mention a "fleeting glimpse" that they cannot put their finger on, suggesting that their memories are vague or hazy. The last lines of the song say that the child is grown and the dream is gone, again suggesting that memories and feelings have faded away, leaving the person comfortably numb.

key Session

Un esempio su cui riflettere l'ottimizzazione del setup, dai suoni, alla saturazione, ai livelli di volume di echi e riverbero, dal singolo effetto al Sound finale tutto compone quei dettagli che nell'insieme formano e delineano il Sound, sound che qui va analizzato e ridisegnato in profondità,
Ovviamente è solo un mio parere.
Suonate suonate e suonate, buona musica a tutti
