This tracks is not directly calling out Pink Floyd’s work on The Wall as ‘Comfortably Dumb’, as one may infer from the title. The song is more about his relationship with the film changing over time.

[Verse 1]
Wake up!
Are you still awake in that chair?
Just keep listening to me
I know you're kinda bored
Yes, sure
It's a lot of slow songs now
It's hard to keep on track
With mellow songs back to back
Perk up
You need to watch this movie first
Just a half hour more
Come on, you've gone through worse
[Chorus]
You can't be bored while we are singing
Unless you don't wanna be seen as deep
Your attention constantly may fade
Your eyes move, but do you care what we're sayin'?
When I was a child, I remember being invested
Like hearing The Dark Side of the Moon
Now I've grown, this section starts to drag
Like a long nag
I just don't understand
Is this now how I am?
I have become
Comfortably dumb
I have become
Comfortably dumb
[Verse 2]
Okay
Just get through the damn flick
You want to seem cool
But this ain't getting your kicks
Can you listen?
Later there will be a quiz
Somebody has to feel the same
When did I become so lame?
[Chorus]
There is only so long I can go
With hearing a millionaire saying that things blow
It's like I've been asleep for days
The film plays, but I can't take the complaining
Like telling a child
It's just how everything is
Just fighting to open my eyes
The epic feels I had are gone
I don't know what is going on, now
The child is gone
And I've moved on
I wish those days
Weren't just a phase
