All of the women and children first, take the money and run, seem to be suggesting imminent disaster. it seems yorke hops on the environmental topic, but in relation to the use of scaremongering tactics. "let me hear both sides" seems to be a plea for the world to calm down and actually solve their problems. The chorus shows the hypocrisy in our lives, because regardless of how we always talk about going green and saving the world, we still rejoice in excess. "everything all of the time" Your all Wrong (or allright) | Reviewer: Oh | 5/6/09 Your LYrics Are incorrect, for one. Here, im ALIVE ITs a Dub Scaffold For a game called THE, Designed as a rythm mix for Jimy Hendrix's Star spangled Banner Live at woodstock, and The end is Crossreferenced To the Super bowl Shuffle, while the begining requires a patriot missle advertisment, and a coffe from Carly Simons 'YOUR SO VAIN', among other things. When Its Finished It Assimilates Closed Caption Code On Every Movie Ever. Its an A.I. resultant of radioheads access to the useless film database of reccurent event cycles in movies owned by the people who pay them. Its a comment on The Cars 'im in touch with your world'.Its a fake on Van Halen's 'Women and children first' which is acctually a test of MORALITY/Manhood: Put Women and Children first (unless you think negativly, or it reacts negativly)and Steve Miller, ('money' and 'run' being two pinkfloyd songs with useable sound effects)And The first Girl Had it Right, in fact this position in fight club discusses titanic (you havnt seen it) Play it to the movie and you won't wonder what the name means. My thought | Reviewer: Stephanie | 5/4/09 The first time i heard this song, i immediately thought of the movie Titanic. 'Women and children first' because those where the first allowed on the life boats. 'Ice age coming' reminds me of the iceberg. 'Throw them in the fire' reminds me of the workers shoveling the coal into the burners so they could turn the boat away faster. 'Take the money and run' reminds me of when Rose's fiance goes to the safe to get all the money and the necklace.. haha i know its a dumb idea but thats just what i thought :) environmental/political | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/3/09 i agree with either idea. could be a reference to the global cooling issue which came first in the 1970's and now the other side which is generally accepted.. global warming. could also be about the hesitation britain and france showed at the beginning of ww2 in regard to which side to take. should they side with the soviet union or wait and let the germans and soviets destroy themselves before taking up the fight. hitler preferred fire, while stalin favored ice (the great terror and purges) sorry but im pretty sure its got not a single thing to do with global warming or the environment | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/7/09 Its talking about the holocaust. it repeatedly remarks about women and children first because they were the first ones to be murdered in the death camps. through them in the fire is the bodies being thrown in. and swallow till i burst is talking about the gas chamber. Mostly this song is speaking metaphorically. Ice age coming simply talks with symbolism meaning whatever the listener gets from it i believe. The chorus is talking about how here and now some of us take everything for granted and forget things that have happened in the past. Idioteque | Reviewer: John R | 4/4/09 This song shows prevalent issues being talked about in science and history. Thoughts of nuclear cold war are brought up, "Everyone in the bunker", and also "ice age coming", it's the thought of "have to preserve the human race by saving the women and children". Yet there's a disconnect in the sentiment of the thought, no one seems to be paying attention. It's serious news that threatens our livelihood but "the mobiles are chirping" and he urges you to "take the money and run" Consumption | Reviewer: sonicon@yahoo.com | 3/8/09 This song seems to be about human consumption. We'll get our entertainment(laugh), food(swallow), and own/do everything. Eventually, the world will be polluted and both sides will agree on it, but the people will say they're just fear mongering. Once the people see it's happening where they live, they won't be facing the problem, they'll try to escape it. The children will lose and they'll never hear the truth. brief Interpretation... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/8/09 I was talking with a friend the other day, and got to the conclusion that the solution to many of nowadays problem, would be a massive genocide (Im not saying it would be the right solution, or that should be done... im just remarking the fact that many of the problems are caused by overpopulation...) what if its talking about a massive genocide to avoid climate changes.. "Ice age comming throw them in the fire" holocaust reference | Reviewer: virginia | 3/3/09 reminds me of the holocaust, something like "throw them in the fire".. "women and children" "this is really happenning" the mass descrution of human lives/women children, take the money and run..get out this inhumane torture which you are about to suffer global warming | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/26/09 definitely. i'm quite sure of it. the word "children" is mentioned a lot because it represents the future generation, which will be affected by the disaster more than we will. Some people say that it's about war because of the word "bunker", but i think that "bunker" represents a place of danger, and the women and children will face danger. i also think that it's about climate change because of the part where it says "we're not scaremongering. this is really happening." and i do think that radiohead's songs are extremely beautiful, and it's beauty is more appreciated due to it's meaningful and abstract lyrics. <3 Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8
