Binary Thesis: Purple Haze & Comfortably Numb

In the song "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix, Jimi uses the short allegory "excuse me while I kiss the sky" to describe the feeling of getting high, whereas in the song "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd, Roger Waters uses narrative to describe a past experience of heroin and tranquilizer abuse by saying that using the drugs caused him to be "comfortably numb".
