| Uh. Certain lines of this song were directly taken from a book about teenage drug use that was published loooooonng before The Wall was even conceived, let alone written. I can't remember the title of the book, but I found it in my school's library, and was quite shocked to see that there was a young boy quoted as saying, when describing his drug experience, "It's like, your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying. You just feel comfortably numb." | |

| Brad is completely right about this song......The Wall is all a big story....you can just pull apart each song and try to interpret them individually.....they are a whole. The Wall is a story about the life of the charactor "Pink". This charactor relates to both lead singers of Pink Floyd, and in different ways. | |

| The song was basically about how one if the guys had to take heroin just to get himslef through the show, as heard in these lines: Ok. Just a little pinprick. There'll be no more Aaaaaahhhhh! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working. Good. That'll keep you going for the show. Come on it's time to go. | |

| songs from the wall are almost impossible to decipher for many reasons. First of all, the story is loosely based around the lives of Syd Barret and to a lesser degree Roger Waters, but alot of the plot is just theatrics used for novelty. Second of all, no song can be taken out of context, the story is of a troubled, detached rock star caught up in the frenzy of the lifestyle, but if we only read the lyrics of just one song, it looks like he's making drugs out to be some kind of magical potion that can fix everything, while infact he is quite unsettled by the experience. Third of all, too many people just sit around smoking pot and watching the wall. not that the wall is bad, i myself have watched it a disgusting amount of times, but people think they "figured it out" when the movie is just showing roger waters visual interpretation of his song. music is a product, so listen to it and come up with your own ideas instead of simply regurgitating what happened in "The Wall" | |

| All you wankers don't have a fucking clue what this song is about. It is absolutly nothing to do with stupid drugs whatsoever. The line about the 'pin prick' is refering to when Roger Waters had to have a booster shot in order to go on stage during a tour once when he was suffering from hepatites. the song is basically about the first childhood experience we have of the pain of being alive and how from then on life becomes more and more of a struggle. Eventually after years of all this we become numb to our emotions and feelings as one pain after another piles up on top of us. The only reaction is to become desensitised to the pain, which eventually causes us to lose touch with our feelings and become numb. Get your facts right before you go talking absolut fucking bullshit about Pink Floyd. The only one who ever took drugs was 'Syd' Barrett, and they were hallucinogens not opiates, the others took less drugs than any other band in the 60's or 70's. | |

| the song does have to do more with feelings and emotions rather than drugs. the wall album was based on the bands childhood, feelings and war, pink floyd did never made any songs about drugs. | |
