Modern World | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/18/09 considering the daodism that Thom used to create the lyrics on this album i think there are centralized themes that are touched on in each song on the album. as he was letting his conscience run during the writing session personal items and ideas of his were expressed. after chopping them and rearranging them you still get snippets of each of those ideas but in every song, not each song expressing one idea. The only true way to pull the meaning of this song, is to read the lyrics of all the songs. Thanks, Peace out. It's about climate change douches | Reviewer: Bitch McGee | 2/12/09 It's about global warming and climate change people. Look at the art with the forest on fire, "ice age coming" that's climate change caused by global warming, he talks about waste too. Thom was heavy in gobal warming science back then too Good Music | Reviewer: patrick | 12/30/08 Interpretation. Could mean this, could mean that. I like the idea of chaos while everyone is dancing,what the hell right. But RH is unto themselves, I hate hearing references to U2 and Coldplay, totally there own thing going on here. My favorite band of the last 10 years and this song is hauntingly perfect. idioteque review | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/12/08 even if it was random phrases surely the phrases meant something for them to put them in the hat in the first place. its hardly random anyway, as the whole song follows a theme about chaos (in the mind and in the world)and war basically, and serenity in the middle. Not comparing it to schindlers list, but a good example is in schindlers list when obviously what is going is madness, and schindlers on the hore and he sees the girl in the red walking through the chaos, not being bothered by any of it. The backing track is calm compared to the lyrics, which i think represents that random calm thing theyve got going on. Hmmm... | Reviewer: you're all right/wrong | 12/11/08 I'm sure there was a set theme that thom wrote about but I remember reading an interview where they said they simply wrote down words and phrases and cut them all up, put them in a hat and drew them out in random order. They didn't say what song they did this for but it would make sense if it were this one. So you who say it means nothing are wrong and you who say it has a distinct meaning are also wrong. Anonymous | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/3/08 to all those people saying that it doesn't mean anything and that it is just random words, that is stupid, as bands don't just put an assortment of words together to makes up lyrics, especially those as good as radiohead! just because you don't immediately understand the meaning behind the words doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just happen to be here | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/26/08 I'm using this song for a project in my class. If any of you have read The Things They Carried, we have to find songs to fit the theme + what not. I immediately thought of this song. Possibly because the repetition of children "women and children first. children first" + not to save them. ha, yeah. and then "I have seen too much You haven't seen enough You haven't seen it" those verses reflect the theme of the book and although this song may not directly relate i feel as if it carries the same tone. SO for those who say it has no meaning, it does. it definintely can be interpreted into many things, and particular artist want that. This is a great song. AnonymousWillPrevail | Reviewer: AnonymousWillPrevail | 11/25/08 "Everyone talks about how this song dosn't mean anything, or how it's meaning is really open to interperation, but I don't see it. It's seems pretty clear to me that this song is about how the world is unraveling and nobody seems to care. The fact that it uses techno dance music is meant to be part of the irony. This would also explain why its called idioteque, which seems to be a mixutre of idiot and discoteque. The world is going to hell, and everybody's dancing." ~ Anonymous ^^ So true! I love the last part about your theory on the techno music. Its amazing.
