comfortably numb, and have no desire to justify it; it's my favorite song of all time; have heard it covered, once live by a female artist, can't recall her name, but never heard it like on "the wall"

it's one of a few songs that almost brings tears to my eyes; in my mind it's about a fellow losing touch with what's beautiful in the world, growing into complacency and routine, "there's no pain, you are receding", the loss of wonder

i understand that's a totally incorrect interpretation but it's mine
