We are living in a superficial plastic world and he clearly doesnt want to be part of it and disagress with it. However he is forced to be by the people around him and its killing him inside being something he isn't. Its like he is saying we cant be plastic but for some reason we want to be. 3 persons | Reviewer: mandy | 3/29/09 i think this song tells a story about 3 persons, who is living a fake life. the girl is somewhat fed up with all the fake plans and people around her, so is the man, he is tired of seeing how there are so many fake people and the fact that he is also being a superficial by helping those people being fake, eventhough he doesnt want to. and the "i" person is in realtionship where he cant be himself because of the girl he loves, and it wears him out. Fake Plastic Trees | Reviewer: Blah | 3/22/09 The song is just another part of the theme of The Bends: how success isn't what it's cracked up to be. When Radiohead's HIT single Creep launched them in the spotlight, it was too quick for the band. "The Bends" is all about how fame is really like "Fake Plastic Trees", with fake Chinese trees and implants and fake love. Thom's "love" wants him to be superficial, but he simply can't. Magnum Opus | Reviewer: John chang | 3/5/09 This song is about the world and reality that we currently live in; a reality that is created in our minds gradually since birth. I think most of us basically derive our reality from social "norms" and philosophies promoted in our society today. This song alludes to the fact that our world today is superficial and commercial. It has given us plastic christmas trees, breast implants, and juiced up athletes. Consequently, we have neglected nature and the natural. I think this song is about how society today, especially our consumer driven society, makes it increasingly difficult to satisfy our needs, wants, goals, dreams. It wears us out.. Loving storyteller | Reviewer: Me | 3/1/09 I think that the one telling the story is in love with the girl. He is dying to tell her but cannot. In stead he is content with what he has, which is a normal life. He is not pretending, which is what the two persons the song is about are doing. This means that he kind of is satisfied with what he has. 'He bursts through the ceiling, if he wanted to', but he knows it's better just to turn and run. Because the fake plastic trees in the world of the two persons are here to stay. He knows he is better of with what he has (the storyteller). such a beautiful song. | Reviewer: Jen | 2/23/09 The girl is hopelessly tryig to make a difference in the world, while her mate is trying to make happy all of the people who don't like what they look like. All the while they are empty in love content with a dead relationship. Implants? | Reviewer: bryce | 2/5/09 Did no one else see a pretty clear reference to plastic implants? "He used to do surgery For girls in the eighties But gravity always wins." I agree with the other reviewers though. Its just an additional way of being fake, is to enhance your image through plastic surgery. my inturp. | Reviewer: Adam Sofia BG | 1/30/09 The song is about a person (man or woman) who is still in love with someone who is no longer in love with him. He tries to have other relationships but he fakes his way through them with his fake plastic love. It wares him out every time and every fake plastic relationship ends because he is not fulfilled with the real thing. He just wants to be loved by the person who no longer loves him the way she used to. Tired | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/26/09 Yes, it's true that this song is somewhat about the superficial facade that many people put on, but it is really about what that does to those same people on the inside. "It wears (her, him, me) out. It's talking about how the need to be somebody, something other than what you really are takes a toll on you. I may be completely wrong but still XD | Reviewer: A Glow Worm | 1/7/09 I reckon this song is about people in general, in relationships and also in some stages in life. Just trying not to be who you really are, being fake to hide your faults or something like that. And this can affect relationships.
