Review about Lucky Bring back the superhero in me | Reviewer: Lea Grove | 8/12/09
I agree a little with Linz: "Feels like his in the edge of a personal change that will alter his destiny".
I think the song is about doubt. Of life and love, and what turn to take. Being in a rolling uncontrolable state where you want help before you burn yourself.
And because he is restless he want to be a superhero because then he makes no wrong decisions.
This song is about a good dream about being a superhero. It seems this person has been having dreams about "Sarah" for sometime, and is extremely happy to be dreaming about something different. Those "Sarah" dreams are of her constantly ignoring him, but in this good dream he's so important that he's too busy to even help the "head-of-state." And even "Sarah" likes him now too! After he saves her from an airplane crash they stand on the lake romantically looking on...
He's lucky to have had a good dream for once, and it's gonna be a "glorious day" for once!
Near death encounters.. | Reviewer: A. | 3/1/09
I think this song particularly ties in with the theme of the first song in OKC (Airbag). It's about almost dying and what you feel when you come away from such an experience.
With Airbag, it is about almost dying in a car crash and realizing that there's so much that could be done with your life, while this song is clearly about almost dying (in a plane crash, but I think it's applicable to any disaster someone might find himself in and come out smelling like roses), and just wanting to enjoy life and love because we are all on borrowed time. There's a feeling of being on top of the world, that you're invincible, that you want to ride the high of surviving some so terrible.
I think "Kill me with your love," describes how someone would act when a close friend or family member just came away from a near-death experience.
"We are standing on the edge", has at least two meanings...he is standing on the edge of the lake, ostensibly looking at the scene of destruction, and he feels like he is standing on the edge between life and death, and he feels lucky to be alive.
This has nothing to do with politics at all. The reference to the head of state calling him probably has to do with the speaker making a implicit statement about what is important to him. If you survived a plane crash, I'm sure the last thing on your mind would be answering a phone call from the President/Prime Minister/Chancellor/Chairman/Whatever.
To end, I think some people read too much into some of Radiohead's lyrics. A lot of things simply are what they are.
Feels like his in the edge of a personal change that will alter his destiny. To me that’s why he compares his feelings to the anxiety of a gambler in a dice roll and why he feels that’s more important for his life now than a call from the head of state.
Song suggests that love is making that change, killing the old character, or at least his/her old concepts. Latest reviewer had also a good take. Partially agree. But the saving/superhero part, to me, points to an unhealthy dependence between the couple. Sounds like both are betting their luck in each other, rather than themselves. But the song don’t lead to any resolution.
I don’t fell it like a happy song, but a hope song.
"Lucky" lyrics | Reviewer: Paul | 1/7/09
The speaker is someone whose luck has been changed by finding love. When he tells Sarah to "kill him again", he is referring to "la petite mort" (the little death), or the exhaustion after lovemaking. New-found love has rescued him from a life going nowhere (the aircrash; the lake). for the first time ever, he is the most important person in someone else's life--he "superhero".
Radiohead has called this a "happy" song, or "at least as happy as we're capable of performing".
...and we´re standing on the edge | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/3/09
This guy isn't lucky at all. It´s all in his mind. He fantasizes he is someone popular, someone so socially recognized that he can even pay no attention to someone as important as a president "the head of state has call for me by name but i don't have time for him". But things are very different out of this little world he has created for himself, in the real world he is lonely and feels miserable. Nobody cares about him and people are probably cruel to him. He´s been isolated from the others and he would like to change that, only he´s got a poor opinion about himself and suffers from a low self-esteem and that´s why he is not capable of changing the facts. He's too afraid no one ever notice him and die totally alone "pull me out the aircrash, pull me out the lake cause i'm your superhero"
You're wrong. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/25/08
This song is on the album OK Computer. It was released in 1997. The general public had not even heard of Sarah Palin until mid-2008, let alone a British rock star who hates the media. Are you serious, man?
I might be wrong | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/7/08
in fact I probably am, But I think thom has visions and this song was a prophetic piece about sarah palin whom he might have identified as the anti christ. Kill me sara, kill me sara with love, with love because she's such a cutie pie but the song is generally written from teh perspective of a wolf hunted from helicopter but the chopper crash lands on top of the wolf in a lake thus pull me out of the aircrash, pull me out of the lake. As far as teh head of state calling him by name, its actually palins point of view. Why she doesnt have time for him, I don't know. Maybe i'm wrong. I just learned how to play this song on my acoustic though. it's easy, like thom said, anyone can play guitar.
Not positive | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/29/08
This is a song of desperation, not arrogance. Thom starts the song, "I'm on a roll, I'm on a roll THIS TIME, I FEEL MY LUCK COULD CHANGE," his luck has been bad, for a long time, but this time, maybe (COULD) it will change. He doesn't say "MY LUCK HAS CHANGED." Later, he begs, "Pull me out of the aircrash, pull me out of the lake, 'cause I'm your superhero," or save me from this disaster I'm in, I can't die.
my only complaint is the first post. associating this song with politics is bullshizz. this song is so much deeper than any current even. 'pull me out... cuz i'm you superhero' runs so much deeper.
thom yorke sings with more emotion than any other singer. this song is a great example of it. enjoy
