Figures feeling less special (7)
I believe the answer is:
numbers
'figures' is the definition.
(I know this)
'feeling less special' is the wordplay.
'feeling less' becomes 'number' (more numb).
'special' becomes 'S' (common abbreviation as in Special Air Service).
'number'+'s'='NUMBERS'
(Other definitions for numbers that I've seen before include "Amounts; songs, etc" , "Fourth OT book - figures" , "See 3" , "Quantities; Old Testament book" , "They subdue the pain" .)
