LYRIC OF THE DAY

Each day I am going to post the lyrics to a particular song that may be of relevance today. Playing off of blog post number 1, today's song is "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. The last two lines are the most impactful to me today. I had a dream, which I ruined for reasons my consciousness will not allow me to understand.

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, 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.

O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
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 nu
mb.

Oh, apparently my "Older Posts" link at the bottom of this page isn't working. I need to look into how to fix that. You can find the emotional cutter post on the upper right hand side of this page in the January archives.
